"Is God Anti-Gay?" and other rhetoric that makes me want to vomit
I found the small book "Is God anti-gay?" by Sam Allberry in an old box of stuff earlier today and decided to read it again. I previously agreed with everything he said - but that has DRASTICALLY changed. Please enjoy (or don't enjoy) the following problematic quotes I've found.
"[Taking up your cross] is saying "no" to the deepest sense of who you are, for the sake of Christ."
"Is God anti-gay? No. But he is against who all of us are by nature, as those living apart from and for ourselves."
"Sexuality is a little like a post-it note...we are simply not designed for multiple sexual relationships. Sex becomes less relational, more functional, and less satisfying as a result."
"[Homosexual couples] cannot become one in the way that God is one and in the way that a man and a woman are one. They can have a union of sorts, but it is not of the kind that is uniquely possible with a heterosexual marriage."
"The exchanging of natural relations for unnatural ones leads to being given over to a 'depraved mind' and the flourishing of 'every kind of wickedness.'"
NOT A QUOTE but he compares homosexuality to suffering. Cool.
I was gonna finish the book (and therefore this post) but I threw it away. Good riddance.
