Episcopalians want to reinstate Pelagius

Well, my Reformed friends will not stand up to this, but neither can't I. What in the world is happening in the Episcopalian Church? First, they went against Scripture ordaining a gay bishop, now, they are even contemplating reinstating Pelagius?

Here it is a bit of Pelagian "Christianity" for those who may not be familiar with it, from a section of the article I am citing regarding this atrocious attempt.

Pelagius taught that the human will, as created with its abilities by God, was sufficient to live a sinless life, although he believed that God's grace assisted every good work. Pelagius did not believe that all humanity was guilty in Adam's sin, but said that Adam had condemned humankind through bad example, and that Christ's good example offered humanity a path to salvation, through sacrifice and through instruction of the will. Jerome emerged as one of the chief critics of Pelagianism, because, according to him, sin was a part of human nature and we couldn't help but sin. 

Allison in his book notes that Pelagianism teaches that the human will has the power to break the bondage of sin. It is best understood as a theological synonym for "nagging," or confidence that the law requires no more than humans can do. Therefore Pelagian Christianity is characterized by exhortation and scolding. Confidence in the power of human will leads to confidence that the defeat of sin can be effected by means of fear. The underlying confidence in the power of the human will to make one sinless is Pelagian."

Just see the logic then, from the Episcopalian side. Sin is not following the example set but by Jesus now, it's not something inherit in us. That's why, if somebody is a homosexual, as one of their bishops, it doesn't matter, because the important thing is that he follows the example of Christ by loving others.

But don't take my reasoning for it. Look how the article puts it so plainly:

A tongue in cheek activist layman in the Atlanta diocese said, "It's delightfully revealing that Bishop Alexander's last diocesan council will consider a resolution to memorialize, which is the first step toward official institutionalization, an infamous heretic. Revealing, because now that civil rights, women's ordination, and same-sex marriage are TEC sacraments, giving blessings to recognized heresy just makes sense and shows how much vitality and forward momentum that transformative change still has in TEC."

So I will be waiting what Episcopalians come up next in their eventual degeneration into a pagan religion.
