A fine man, a good man. Stiil he represents also the limitations of liberal Protestantism. “God loves you just the way you are Yes, it can be said to Gays. It can also be said to an adulterer or an alcoholic. We know that God loves us, but that does mean we are necessarily justified. How open are our hearts to that love? All should pause daily to ask ourselves that question.

Seems to me if “God loves you just the way you are” Jesus would not have admonished “Go thy way and sin no more” when he was presented with the woman in John 8 who was “taken in adultery.” He had just saved this lady from being stoned to death for her adultery and his parting words to her were not condemnation but rather an admonition. It is so difficult, dare I say impossible, for the left to understand the concept of loving the sinner, hating the sin.

Tolerance is accommodating a friend’s religious practices when he is at your house for a meal. It is not intolerant to point out sin.
