I believe that I will go out on a limb and call this pastor a liar. When he says:
“Though he does not perform same-sex marriages, which are strictly forbidden by his denomination, he has advocated that traditional church teachings on what he has called “celibacy in singleness and faithfulness in heterosexual marriage” be extended to, and expected of, LGBT Christians as well.”
he knows very well that is not what homosexuals who want to be in the Christian church are advocating for. Most churches would accept a homosexual individual if that individual repents and becomes chaste in their life style. The problem is most homosexuals do not want to repent of their lifestyle let alone change it. They want the church to “repent” of it’s holding to the biblical witness of homosexual behavior. They want full inclusion with the ability to marry a same-sex spouse, to raise children, to adopt children and to serve in leadership (which of course would take more “repenting” by the church for following the biblical witness on leadership).
His denomination was right to see thru his charade. I can only hope that they will call him to task on his bearing false witness and defrock him.
Exactly right. It’s the left’s tried-and-true tactic of infiltration then destruction from within. They’re just like termites.
