David Blakeslee,

You lose credibility when you link to “anonymous” vague claims that on the face of them appear to be false.

See the rebuttal here

At some point it ceases to appear that you have any credible concern and begins to appear that you are so motivated by your negative emotional position on the appointment of Kevin Jennings that you will believe and repeat anything negative said about him.

For the sake of your own reputation, you may wish to cease linking your name to nutjob attacks on Jennings.

More Kevin Jennings,

Apparently a teacher who attended is asserting that Jennings knew the content of the presentations and publications at the workshop.

I don’t mean a process of normalization, i mean the state. Sorry for any ambiguity and thanks for answering.

In your opinion, is normalization of homosexuality incompatible with Christianity?

@ Ken,

Same sex attractions appear intrinsic, they may be part of God’s original design for a portion of humanity.

I don’t know precisely what God intended in all his acts of creation and which manifestations in creation are different from His original intent. Many Christians presume to know such things.

David Blakeslee: Do you suppose that gay people aren’t created gay by God?

David, I know you’re afraid to give a straightforward honest answer to simple questions. The only logical reason for that is that you know the answers would paint you in a negative light. Its clear you aren’t to be trusted and your talk of love and protecting the weak and so forth are merely camoflage for your true beliefs and desires.

Oh, I know who you are alright, I’ve met your kind many, many times.

@ Priya,

All value systems make demands on us. Religion is no different. It is impossible to enter any value system and know all the costs at the outset.

Eventually, some value systems cost too much and we have to abandon them to preserve our own health and well-being.

I have loved people through this process as they have been hurt by what they discovered the Church required…I have supported their decision to seek an identity and support system elsewhere. I wish them well, and trust that God continues to work in their lives.

I have loved people through a process where they have discovered that their gay or lesbian identity did not fit who they were and supported their decision to live in a new faith they had chosen that excluded them being able to have same sex relationships.

The highest commandment is to love the person first.

You do not know who I am.

Let’s try it again David. A gay child asks you what YOU believe happens after they die if they were married to a same sex partner, what do you tell them? This isn’t a “different matter” now, give a straightforward and honest answer this time.
