Evangelical leader? Surrendering to Sodom is not my idea of leadership. Dr. Mohler should take up reading the Bible some time.
He’s not surrendering. Did you read the whole thing? He’s warning us to prepare for persecution without being too alarmist about it.
I’ve been predicting this since 1995—when Newt Gingrich, fresh off the 1994 victory, started making nice with the gay Repubics. It told me that enough “conservatives” would go awol on the issue to permit it to go mainstream.
I don’t particularly like Mohler—I’m Catholic and he doesn’t seem to “get it” much of the time doctrinally, but on this issue he’s right-on.
The trend was established when the big corporations started instituting gay-friendly policies, basically because of the money available from childless gay consumers. That began the mainstreaming—IBM etc.
Mohler’s right: sodomy will be mainstreamed and all those who refuse to agree and bless it (it’s not about tolerance and never has been) will be penalized (first tax exemptions but then, for those who don’t cave at that, fines and then imprisonment in “sensitivity training centers”). My own Cardinal Archbishop basically predicted this would happen already 10 years ago and appealed to Catholics to be prepared to follow their bishops into prison.
That is how they cave. We will marry gays, meanwhile y’all go out and fight it. Pass the plate.
