HT: Slice of Laodicea.
Commenting on Gay bishop Gene Robinson being heckled in London (see here) the London Guardian wrote: "Forget what you think you know about Gene Robinson – his is Gospel Christianity of a very traditional kind. This is what Christianity looks like once it has got over its obsession with respectability."Except there's a problem, 1 Cor 6:9-10 says that no homosexuals will enter the Kingdom of God, period. Of course there will be ex-homosexuals in Heaven, just like there will be ex-liars, and ex-drunkards.
It would be more accurate to say "this is what Christianity looks like when you do what most people sat in church buildings do today and completely disregard what God says in His Word, and instead just make up your own idol to follow and call him 'god'". But someone's imagined version of God is not going to save them on the Day of Judgement.
Robinson said of his heckler, "there is this place in his heart that has been filled up with all this darkness and it could be filled with love."
But I thought his heckler was very loving in calling Robinson to "repent," as Jesus commanded. He was much more loving than those in pews and pulpits who stay silent and cowardly refuse to speak out against false teachers.
Stephen Green, of Christian Voice (UK), said: "It is a sad day when you get a bishop in a church preaching something that God himself called an abomination."
However Robinson responded "When someone stands up and says homosexuality is an abomination, does that make you want to get to know God?" But isn't that the man-centred philosophy of most of the professing church today? Redefine sin, and talk about it less to make Jesus more "wantable".
Again their own made-up imagined version of God is not the real God we will all stand before on the Day of Judgement.
