Anglican Theological Incoherence
The Editor
Dear Sir,
I was fascinated over your coverage of the Anglican/Uniting
Church debacle and the letter by The Rev. Gregory M. A. Blaxland Palm
Beach July 24 in SMH Thurs. July 26 2001.
We agree that Philip Ruddock and the Anglican Synod should
be more concerned about the wrath of God. It is a fact that the English
Reformation was aimed at restoring the faith but it failed to do so
because it failed to return to the faith once delivered and stayed with
the later councils and the heretic Augustine of Hippo and the false
theology of the fourth century.
Article 20 of the Anglican Confession declares as quoted
by Mr Blaxland that: "It is not lawful for the church to ordain anything
that is contrary to God's written word, neither may it expound one place
of Scripture that is repugnant to another."
That is why we of CCG do all the things that Christ and
the church did under Christ and the apostles. Many of us were once Anglicans
who simply could not tolerate this bizarre hypocrisy that acknowledged
Saturday as the Sabbath and yet worships on Sunday contrary to the Scriptures
based on the traditions of men. It denies the Passover and keeps the
pagan Easter festival. It keeps pagan Christmas instead of Tabernacles
and the other feasts of God. It keeps no Bible Sabbaths and feasts and
trivialises the law of God and complains when that thinking is taken
to its logical conclusion. We agree that "no member of that Synod, be
they lay or cleric has any right to propound or promote that which is
contrary to the clear and explicit teaching of Holy Scripture." Those
teachings are clearly laid down and explained in the texts in the web
sites at www.ccg.org and www.logon.org in many languages and in www.originalcatholicchurch.org. How long will
ye Anglicans, and other Australians, be of two minds? If Yahovah is
God worship Him but if Baal is god then follow him.
