Subject: Why the spotlight on gays? |
Bible Note: Tim, if this discussion can use another "vote," then here's mine, cast alongside yours and in agreement with it. That the world is in the mess it's in can be traced to failures of the first-century church is an idea that I don't buy either. True enough, the corporate church had its responsibilities then and has them still, but this does not mean that the individual was absolved then nor is he now from accountability to God for his deeds and choices. The idea of the article under discussion strikes me as being a thinly veiled effort at buck passing and theological double-talk. I see it as being as unconvincing and invalid as the argument that the root cause of homosexuality is biological -- the famous, elusive, and unproved theory of the defective gene. This is just another in a long line of ongoing rationalizations and buck-passing attempts that began when Adam and Eve in Eden tried in vain to shift the responsibility for their disobedience to someone else instead of facing the incontrovertible reality that they themselves were the ones who got themselves in hot water by choosing the wrong path. --Hank |
