"TO THE ANGEL OF THE CHURCH IN SARDIS WRITE: THESE ARE THE WORDS OF HIM WHO HOLDS THE SEVEN SPIRITS OF GOD AND THE SEVEN STARS. I KNOW YOUR DEEDS; YOU HAVE A REPUTATION OF BEING ALIVE, BUT YOU ARE DEAD. WAKE UP! STRENGTHEN WHAT REMAINS AND IS ABOUT TO DIE, FOR I HAVE FOUND YOUR DEEDS UNFINISHED IN THE SIGHT OF MY GOD. REMEMBER, THEREFORE, WHAT YOU HAVE RECEIVED AND HEARD; HOLD IT FAST, AND REPENT. BUT IF YOU DO NOT WAKE UP, I WILL COME LIKE A THIEF, AND YOU WILL NOT KNOW AT WHAT TIME I WILL COME TO YOU. REVELATION 3:1-3 NIV"
The Church of England as a truly bible believing church of Jesus Christ died long ago, and now is "Christian" in name only having tossed aside all manner of doctrine in order to tickle the ears of those few that still sit in her pews.
A few days ago we posted a blog entry in which we noted the many persecuted believers in the world and how their Christianity cor Well today we can equate the Church of England and her desire to take up a more pagan spiritual program as the dead church of Sardis, (another Revelation church), in which Jesus had little good to say. This church thought it was still alive, but had become so compromised in its teaching and doctrine that it had little value or substance. We found the following quote when researching for this blog entry which pretty much says it all regarding the sad state of affairs that existed in the Revelation church of Sardis and sadly correlates with the present day Church of England:
Its religiously proper appearance may have only meant that it had fully and silently compromised with the truth and the pagan society around it. G.B. Caird calls Sardis"The perfect model of inoffensive Christianity" (A Commentary on the Revelation of St. John the Divine, p. 48).
CHURCH OF ENGLAND TO BLEND CHRISTIANITY WITH PAGANISM TO ATTRACT SPIRITUALISTS
"HERE'S A NEW TWIST ON CHURCH GROWTH: CREATING A PAGAN ATMOSPHERE AND BRANDING CAMPAIGN FOR NEW AGE SPIRITUALISTS IN ORDER TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF BODIES IN THE PEWS. THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND IS ACTUALLY TRAINING ITS MINISTERS TO CREATE "A PAGAN CHURCH WHERE CHRISTIANITY [IS] VERY MUCH IN THE CENTER" TO ATTRACT SPIRITUAL BELIEVERS. That means changing the Anglican church doctrine to make it more inclusive for people of alternative beliefs. The Church of England admits that its motive is to retain congregation numbers who have embraced paganism. The Church Mission Society, which is training ministers to "break new ground" in order to get spiritual people into churches. If you've come from a Seeker-Driven model, that might actually sound like a good thing. Get them in the doors and tell them about Jesus, right? BUT MAKE NO MISTAKE; THAT IS NOT WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE. THE JESUS THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND IS RE-CREATING IS NOT THE JESUS OF THE BIBLE."
CHURCH OF ENGLAND CREATING 'PAGAN CHURCH' TO RECRUIT MEMBERS"The Church of England is trying to recruit pagans and spiritual believers as part of a drive to retain congregation numbers. The church is training ministers to create "a pagan church where Christianity [is] very much in the centre" to attract spiritual believers. MINISTERS ARE BEING TRAINED TO CREATE NEW FORMS OF ANGLICANISM SUITABLE FOR PEOPLE OF ALTERNATIVE BELIEFS AS PART OF A CHURCH OF ENGLAND DRIVE TO RETAIN CONGREGATION NUMBERS. Reverend Steve Hollinghurst, a researcher and adviser in new religious movements told the BBC: "I would be looking to formulate an exploration of the Christian faith that would be at home in their culture." HE SAID IT WOULD BE "ALMOST TO CREATE A PAGAN CHURCH WHERE CHRISTIANITY WAS VERY MUCH IN THE CENTRE."
