This also nullifies the importance of the atonement. Adoptionism leads to a self centered struggle to win God's favor, a struggle which will invariably fail and lead to disappointment and perhaps even depression or even giving up on Christianity. Buddhism's selfless self centeredness is a perfect fit for the Rev. Forrester's new Buddhistic Adoptionism. Let his teachings cease, lest others be led astray.Undergroundpewsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10182191422663119484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7107887.post-41609507485668053572009-03-22T16:03:00.000-04:002009-03-22T16:03:00.000-04:00Underground Pewster:What is the cruelty of the her...Underground Pewster:<BR/>What is the cruelty of the heresy of Adoptionism?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7107887.post-14435995391387209172009-03-21T11:14:00.000-04:002009-03-21T11:14:00.000-04:00I had to go back and re-read the source material a...I had to go back and re-read the source material and the Pewster is accurate. The Seattle Episcopal/Muslim priestess situation is being handled by Bishop Wolf of Rhode Island where the priestess is canonically resident. Apparently, the druid/wiccan couple in Pennsylvania continue on their merry way as I have found no reference to any disciplinary action in progress. I assume the recently deposed Bishop Bennison has more on his plate than to worry about something so minor.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08890870828860228480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7107887.post-23022933363023078702009-03-20T13:23:00.000-04:002009-03-20T13:23:00.000-04:00There might be one thing worse, but that was excus...There might be one thing worse, but that was excused by the Kinks a few years back in "Lola."<BR/><BR/>"Its a mixed up muddled up shook up world except for lola<BR/>Lo-lo-lo-lo lola"Undergroundpewsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10182191422663119484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7107887.post-7921576392608407792009-03-20T12:28:00.000-04:002009-03-20T12:28:00.000-04:00Not a mosh pit, Cato, but a muddle.

William Melnyk and his wife, the Rev. Glyn Ruppe-Melnyk, in the Diocese of Pennsylvania in 2004 who came out as it were. In Druid circles, he was “Oakwyse” and she was “Glispa.” <BR/><BR/>Cato, did you mean the Muslim/Episcopal Priest?
