Mohler got it right: There is no third way.
Waving hands and saying prayers over people does not change the sinfulness of their behavior. (My comment)

Christians either believe in the sinfulness of human nature and support a “repent and believe in the Gospel” message, or they do not. To accept sinful behavior as a ‘normal thing’ and not as a sin, is not a Christian concept, and it does not lead to salvation.

Jesus called everyone to conversion, not to accommodation of sin. I have no doubt that if Jesus were on earth today, he would embrace the homosexuals, but he would never condone their homosexual acts.

An example was Mary Magdalene, who was a sinner, likely a prostitute, but was saved through her acceptance of Jesus’s gospel of life and conversion. For that she paid the price by remaining faithful even at the foot of the cross. She never wavered, and never fell away in her faith and gratitude to God’s Son. That is what we are all called to do as well.

This applies to many other issue facing the Church as well.
