Wasn't the Episcopal Church taking U.S. "aid money" to help transport tens of thousands of illegal immigrants from South America to cross the U.S. border... and then helping to provide them housing at US taxpayer expense?
The Episcopal Church should lose it's tax exempt status over that.
"But they mocked the messengers of God, and despised his words, and misused his prophets, until the wrath of the LORD arose against his people, till there was no remedy."
When the Samaritan woman meets Jesus, her expected reaction is fear and distrust. That’s because she is a Samaritan woman and Jesus is a Jewish man. Samaritans and Jews despised one another, so it says volumes that she still approaches the well.
The animosity between Jews and Samaritans can be traced back to 2 Kings 17 when Assyria conquers Israel. Assyria brings in other conquered people to settle the land of Samaria. Those who remained intermarry with these foreigners and produce a new generation. The blend of people also comes with a blend of worship: “they feared the LORD but also served their own gods” (2 Kings 17:33).
This mixed heritage creates tensions between this group and the Jewish people in the south, who hadn’t intermarried. Jews view the Samaritans as unclean outsiders.
So deep is this divide that the Samaritans even build their own temple because they are prohibited from worshipping in Jerusalem.
The woman at the well shouldn’t even be talking to Jesus—a Jewish rabbi and a man. Men and women who weren’t married or related weren’t allowed to be alone together, especially outside of town.
Interesting take,, 🤔. I do mean that seriously as I chew on what you opined.
But I have to ask,, and I'm not being argumentative, or a facetious smart ass, = Serious question- if Jesus was Fully Jewish,, and a Rabbi,, Why did then did he storm in to the temple flipping tables and whipping the pharisees for doing what they had always done?
Self Edit- and what about Mary Magdelene and him also conversing and being together?
Jesus flipped the temple tables over because they were converting foreign money into the native currency, then charging high fees to do so, otherwise known an usury, which was forbidden. This money was being used to buy the animals necessary for sin offerings.
Matthew 21:
12 Jesus entered the temple courts and drove out all who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves. [Doves that were to be offered as a sacrifice at the Temple]
13 “It is written,” he said to them, “ ‘My house will be called a house of prayer,’ but you are making it ‘a den of robbers.’ ”
It has been said that Mary Magdalene was wealthy and was helping to fund the mission of Jesus and the disciples:
Luke 8:1–3
After this, Jesus traveled about from one town and village to another, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom of God. The Twelve were with him, and also some women who had been cured of evil spirits and diseases: Mary (called Magdalene) from whom seven demons had come out; Joanna, the wife of Chuza, the manager of Herod’s household; Susanna; and many others. These women were helping to support them out of their own means.
I.E. You Cannot atone your sins by buying them off.
Im still confused by the Women Folk,, if Jews, Men/ Women, Cannot Intermingle,,
Jesus DID Intermingle with Everyone, Men/Women, Young and Old.
He didnt Like the Temple judging on the Fashion of what one Wore to Worship God (the "Woman in Rags" that the other people wanted Out), nor that God needed Money for a place to Worship,,, (What Does God care, ) where how fancy what you wear or place you worship is , as long as you do)
The Jews of Jesus's time did not have any rules against men and women intermingling. Yes, modesty was practiced, but it didn't forbid men and women from talking to one another, or meeting in public for religious instruction, for example.
Oh,, I thought you said at the Bottom of your Very First Post , that
"The woman at the well shouldn’t even be talking to Jesus—a Jewish rabbi and a man. Men and women who weren’t married or related weren’t allowed to be alone together, especially outside of town."
“The Episcopal Church affirms the full inclusion of LGBTQ+ individuals in all aspects of church life, including membership, sacraments, ordination, and marriage. It does not consider homosexuality a sin and has officially endorsed same-sex marriage since 2015.”
I guess, A dirty mind is joy forever ..... so, anything can be made to mean something else.
But, if he really needs to do a sexually loaded sermon .... he could have used "The Song of Songs" ..... but then again, he has then to explain sacred sexuality ...Oeps. ..
A dirty mind is a joy forever. Therefore heretically smearing Jesus is just par for the course.
Water is a scarce resource in those parts of the world. BTW. So the subject is topical.
Even wild animals have a code of conduct that is about survival in peace, around watering holes. In Superpower language it's called Modus Vivendi. I think that's the main point of the parable.

All you need to know is that it is an Episcopal pastor. They do not believe the Bible so no sense paying much attention to somebody just making up stuff to make them feel better about....who knows what.
He's a retard.
Yep

They have gay bishops as well. IIRC
Yes. They all were.
Die in hell, loser

Looking forward to the reaping
This is hardly the case.

I Appreciate your gracious reply ☺️
Ok,, so Usury/ "Charging Interest" is Wrong=Yes
I.E. You Cannot atone your sins by buying them off.

Ok, so,, something Changed , where Jews Couldn't intermingle,, After this period of time?
Self Edit - I'm asking Honest questions, thank you for being Gracious 🤗
I think you may be mixing up Jews and Muslims. Muslims are the ones that can't intermingle between the sexes, at least the most strict Muslims cannot.
Oh,, I thought you said at the Bottom of your Very First Post , that
"The woman at the well shouldn’t even be talking to Jesus—a Jewish rabbi and a man. Men and women who weren’t married or related weren’t allowed to be alone together, especially outside of town."
Thats the only reason I asked, genuinely.
Must have used ChatGPT for that sermon.
AI excerpt here:
“The Episcopal Church affirms the full inclusion of LGBTQ+ individuals in all aspects of church life, including membership, sacraments, ordination, and marriage. It does not consider homosexuality a sin and has officially endorsed same-sex marriage since 2015.”
It reminds me of Rowan Adinkson:
What is the Church's position on Fellatio?

The last Episcopal priest I had said that Jesus's warning about millstones was hyperbole. From the pulpit.
This man is a false preacher. He will answer to the Lord after his passing
Jesus cane on earth to begin the new covenant. Where ALL people can be saved.
I often question whether or not the Jews are still the chosen people bc God sent His only Son so that all mankind could be freed from sin
The Jews missed the boat IMHO
Another creep in a robe. Pretending to serve God.
Sick.
