Archbishop Akinola gets to the heart of the matter: "The point is not of separating from sinners . . . but objecting strongly to yielding to the . . . worldly spirit of a materialistic, secularist and self-centered age, which seeks to mould everyone into its own tainted image."
"Our argument," the archbishop continues, "is that if homosexuals see themselves as deviants who have gone astray, the Christian spirit would plead for patience and prayers to make room for their repentance. When Scripture says something is wrong and some people say that it is right, such people make God a liar."
Perfect!
what about mark?
Mark reports Jesus as saying, "Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her; and if she divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery." In Mark Jesus offers no exceptions.
or paul?
Paul addresses the problem of Christians married to non-Christians. He says that the Christian should continue the marriage, if possible, in the hope of winning their spouse to the Lord. But then he says, "If the unbelieving partner separates, let it be so; in such a case the brother or sister is not bound."
these two seem to contradict, and not only that the church allows both positions regarding this sexual issue? So why isn't adultly splitting apart churches, isn't this problem even more prevlanant and admittedly more confusing regarding Scripture?
