That's what I read also. Did anybody here actually hear RG3 claim that homosexuality is acceptable? An acceptable sin? Not a sin? That RG3 is pro-sodomite? An advocate of homosexuality? Finds it something to be celebrated?
The current gay agenda is not “Accept me as a fallen human being”, it is a very strident “Accept me and accept my sin”. Encouraging someone to “come out” is definitely implying an acceptance of their sin.
Christians are encouraged to confess their sins to one another SO THAT WE MAY PRAY FOR ONE ANOTHER and encourage each other in FORSAKING THAT SIN! There is nothing biblical about confessing sin (coming out) in order that we may be accepted FOR OUR SIN.
I have had friends come to me and confess sin in their lives that I deplore, but I love them still - and I pray for them to OVERCOME THEIR SINS, and their desire is to be free from their sin. I have gone to a Christian brother and confessed sin I am struggling with - not to get reassurance that my sin is OK, but to get help in prayer and encouragement and accountability in the struggle.
Any gay player who publicly comes forward, asking for our prayers to help him overcome his acknowledged sin, will have my prayers and my support (and brother, he will need it). Any player who comes out holding his boyfriend’s hand, asking me to accept them and their sin will not have my support - I consider them an agent of the enemy in spreading the casual acceptance of open rebellion against God.
Agreed. RG3 actually implied it is a sin by lumping it in with “hetero” types of sin. I don’t know why so many people here are in a lather about this. Do they look to football players for theology? Griffin was asked about the subject in the context of football, having gay teammates, etc. He basically answered it honestly from his standpoint. Who cares? I just hope my Cowboys give him a couple of beatdowns this year. Nothing personal of course...
