Once, just once, I’d love to hear someone speak the truth and not apologize for it later.
There was no later apology. It all came from the same interview. It’s all in how a particular media decided to spin it. Take out a bit of this. Add an emphasis to that. Spin, spin, spin.
Well, one thing is that we need to come to a godly perception of the homosexuality problem. That’s often treated as some kind of sui generis issue, getting people to make all manner of overreactions that have to then get walked back for the sake of, yes, truth — but the gospel forbids that kind of treatment. The same salvation that can give power to stand against the kind of bodily abuse represented by smoking, can give power to stand against the kind of bodily abuse represented by buggery. When did we ever get the arrogance to say that any sin, except for refusing salvation altogether, is bigger than God’s salvation? That sure spits in God’s face.
