Strident
Christian views about homosexuality have compromised any defense of
infallibility, causing some to question the existence of God. Certainly there
is justification for denying the validity of their anti-LGBTQ worldview. After
all, in less than a decade “religious right” speakers presuming to represent
Christianity have moved from there is no such thing as sexual orientation
to homosexuality is just a choice to
maybe it isn’t a choice but there can’t
be anything inherent to it to if it is inherent in some way it still
cannot possibly by “natural” to either way it’s just a behavior that
represents a rebellion against God to
those people can attend church but they
can never be members of our congregation to perhaps they can join us
in Christian fellowship but only if they take a vow of involuntary
celibacy to perhaps it is inevitable that some of them will live together but we
don’t want to know what that intimacy entails to God can forgive all sins
but not the sin of those people wanting to get married. Frankly, it is
dizzying how many times a perfect and never-changing God has put a completely
different idea, or strategy, into the mouths of those who purport to speak on
behalf of deity. This Inappropriate Conversation is going to give the soapbox
to a totally different group, gay Christians. "Why worship a God of love
if doing so means denying the possibility of experiencing love?" (N.T.,
Australia). What do we do if some Christians don’t want LGBTQ people worshiping
God in the first place? Where do we find either the Great Commission or the
Great Commandments in that Christian worldview? Perhaps, the Spirit of the
living God is pointing us in a different direction. We should listen.
