The following letter was e-mailed to a good many members of the UCC, along, apparently, with members of Congress and the President. It's pretty amazing. Take a look...
Representatives and members of the United Church of Christ (USA) Promulgation of an anathema At its session on 1 May 2011, the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Italy issued a document N. 2011/XX under the title “Blessing of hetero- and homosexual couples in non-traditional communion of life”. Behind this document is not the Spirit of Christ (Rom 8:9) but the spirit of antichrist. It denies the authority of God and His laws. The authors have thus joined three religious organizations which are no longer Christian Churches but have become the harlot of antichrist and the spiritual Babylon. Your apostatical Church ranks among them. Marriage is a sacrament, but cohabitation of two men or two women is an abomination. The basic axiom of the time of antichrist is that evil must be accepted as good and promoted in positive terms. Homosexuality is evil and an abomination. Perversion and crime has become a fundamental principle not only in the world but even in the Church. Because You have changed the basic moral norms and broken God’s Commandments, You have separated Yourselves from Christ and from His Mystical Body, i.e. from His Church. Your name “Church of Christ” is now a mere mockery. You have been a Church of antichrist already for several years. You no longer have the saving faith since You rejected the Spirit of truth, the Spirit of repentance. In 1977, for the first time, You ordained a public lesbian as a pastor. This was followed by next ordinations of homosexuals and lesbians. In 1980, You officially approved ordination of active homosexuals. In 1991, You broke God’s laws and You give Your so-called blessing to antimarriages. This is public blasphemy against God and a public scandal among both Christians and non-Christians all over the world. God punishes homosexuality: “He condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah by reducing them to ashes as a warning to future sinners.” (2Pt 2:6) Dear members of the United Church of Christ, we hereby call upon You to separate from the antishepherds who betrayed Christ. If You want to be saved from eternal condemnation in hell, be separated and come out of this Babylon. “Unless you repent, you will all perish!” (Lk 13:3) PROMULGATION OF ANATHEMA ON REPRESENTATIVES OF THE UNITED CHURCH OF CHRIST: The Byzantine Catholic Patriarchate, by authority of the apostolic and prophetic office, in the name of the Triune God, promulgates before all Christians of the United States of America: The United Church of Christ is no Church of Christ but a harlot of antichrist. It is under God’s anathema – i.e. under a curse (Gal 1:8-9). On behalf of the Byzantine Catholic Patriarchate + Elijah Patriarch + Methodius OSBMr + Timothy OSBMr Secretaries of the BCP Lvov (Ukraine), 7 July 2011 Copies to: - The Christian Churches in USA - President of USA and US Congress - Mass media Address: Byzantine Catholic Patriarchate, 3 Sosnova St., Lvov - Bryukhovychi, 79491, Ukraine www.uogcc.org.ua, www.community.org.ua; byzcathpatriarchate@gmail. com
