A great deal is at stake, and if we mislead people by whitewashing sin their blood will be on our hands. My pro-life colleagues were allied against the gay rights agenda. But sometimes it seemed as if my friends were not powered by an impulse to call people to holiness with love, but by a revulsion for the things gay men did in bed. We were just, indeed compassionate in light of the consequences, to call gays to seek healing and a transformation to heterosexual orientation, or else life-long celibacy. But we were not as willing to apply the same standards to ourselves.
Heterosexual sin is as bad as any other kind.
I hasten to add that I belong to a Church which sometimes allows remarriage, and I honor the Church's authority to interpret scripture and allow exceptions. But I never have figured out on what basis sola scriptura Evangelicals wink at remarriage, while insisting homosexuals walk the line. But when I'd say this, people were always shocked. It is still hard to know just where I fit. The pro-life issue remains top priority, as it is the only one where 4500 children are dying every day.
