The Gay Christian, The Upside-Down Kingdom Bible, and Preston Sprinkle Part 4

This episode is the fourth in a series.  I point out that Sprinkle categorizes humanity in general as gay and straight, and Christians as either gay or straight, which is non-biblical and damaging to the health of secular society and the church. Also, his defining same-sex attraction as a sexual orientation that is not sinful falls short of the Greek word that is translated into English as sin. It is hamartia, meaning to miss the mark or taking another direction. Any thought, desire, memory, or action that falls short of God's moral laws and creation ordinances of sexuality, gender, and marriage "misses the mark" and is sin - even when not carried out in behaviors. I use Romans 1:18-28 to debunk Sprinkle's idea that same sex attraction is not a sin, and to also debunk that it is an attraction. How? By quoting the verses that define sex attraction as missing-the-mark desires of lust that inflame the person. I liken same-sex attraction to a hungry lion waiting to devour another person through same-sex sex - by using body parts that God never intended to be used as sexual organs. Treating same-sex attraction as neutral leaves the door open to that "lion."  And like any hungry lion that is set to devour a human being as a meal, it has to be put to death. And with it comes putting to death the gay as a marker of identity. And it is the purpose of this podcast.  Email: [email protected]
