Could you be reading him wrong? Perhaps I am wrong, but the way I read the article was a bit like what I was taught growing up...that sinful behavior, whether homosexual or heterosexual, is condemned by God.
I think he made good points about no fault divorce, so-called lesbian porn, and orientation vs. behavior.
My grandfather, gone for more than 20 years now, was a pastor of a Protestant church. He was a conservative man and he counseled people who were struggling with all areas of life...financial, spiritual, sexual...and while he urged them to stop SINNING lest they die, he also let them know Jesus Christ was REAL and redeem them from their ways.
“but the way I read the article was a bit like what I was taught growing up...that sinful behavior, whether homosexual or heterosexual, is condemned by God.”
That is how I read it and why I posted the article in the first place!
“I think he made good points about no fault divorce, so-called lesbian porn, and orientation vs. behavior.”
You’re not just whistling Dixie!!!!
As a regular church attender, I can never recall a sermon about divorce, abortion, or homesexuality. These are topics that ministers never tackle in public.
Looking into the Old Testament, how many wives did David “the beloved” have. YHWH looked into his heart (and liked what he saw). How about Solomon “the wisest man in the world”. How many wives did he have? As I recall 700. When did the allowed number of wives become one?
