Nowhere in my answer did I diminish biblical truth or suggest that I or Hillsong Church supported gay marriage....My personal view on the subject of homosexuality would line up with most traditionally held Christian views. I believe the writings of Paul are clear on this subject....I explained that this struggle for relevance was vexing as we did not want to become ostracized by a world that needs Christ.

The "writings of Paul are clear", his personal views line up with "most (but not all) traditionally held Christian views", but does he actually articulate what any of those are? No. Also note that he gives more time to "my personal view" than he does to "my church's view".

Not exactly the "our church doctrine agrees with the Bible, which clearly states that homosexual activities inside or outside gay marriage is a sin" answer that the article spins it to be.

I found that troubling (or telling) also. He had a chance to make some clear statements - which I am sure would have offended some people - but he punted.
