When A Homosexual Christian Leader ‘Comes Out’

[**Rowland Croucher**]

The Church has wrestled with a dozen major paradigm-shifts in its
history. The first had to do with accepting Gentiles. The Protestant
Reformation was built on the radical proposition that we are saved by
faith purely on the basis of God’s grace, and that we can trust ordinary
folks to read the Bible. Then there was slavery, charismatic renewal,
women in leadership... Conservative groups have recently wrestled with
issues like dancing, divorce, Sabbath/Sunday-behaviour, dress-codes, and
rock music.

And now the Big One: Homosexuality More...

Is this one of those articles that says that the church
is wrong for rejecting homosexuality?

Why yes it is! Because you are more interested in
making society happy, than God!

And FYI, God did not deal with "chosen and non-chosen",
because it is chosen, period! But even if it weren't, it
doesn't make a difference because:

1) God deals with the acts and condemns them.

2) People are born with all kinds of bad things.
Should be promote all of them as good?
Maybe people born with AIDS should be
accepted as having a good thing? Or should
we claim that we should give crack babies crack
and praise the mothers, because after all, they
were "born that way", right?

The Revolution continues! eventually there will be no Christianity to
speak of- it will be so completely unidentifiable as such as to be
completely meaningless and irrelevant, and you will have achieved your
objective.
