Genie’s out of the bottle as far as that’s concerned. Chipping away at age of consent laws will be on deck next because “love is love.”
We have a pastor that I suspect is attracted to the same sex. They are staunchly against the “gay pride” movement, and is a devout Christian.
Or faithful, if married.
Most of us will be tempted. Some will succumb to the temptation, some won’t. Those who remain strong deserve the respect.
The attraction is Satan’s seed. The practice is his bitter flower.
I haven’t read the book or article, but maybe gay Christians don’t identify themselves as gay, except as shorthand.
If one is truly tempted to such, and truly refrains for the sake of Jesus Christ, then I would accept that one as a fellow Christian.
However, I would not trust that person, say, to watch over young boys alone, anymore than I would trust a Christian kleptomaniac to watch over a retail store alone.
Either scenario, far from being respectful, would be providing gratuitous temptation to a brother.
