Waffling on Homosexuality Gospel Confusion with Conservative Pastors
Kevin Swanson interacts with several pastors' perspectives on homosexuality. John Piper gets it right. But a well-known PCA pastor waffles on homosexuality and jumbles the Gospel in an interview at Columbia University. The mass confusion over 'the gospel' is weakening the evangelical church in this country and all over the world. If there was ever a time when Christians need to take a clear-cut stand on the social sins of the day (that are rotting out our entire civilization), it would right about now! We certainly don't need any more post-modern, non-committal, cool preachers who can't give a straight answer to a straight question.

“ Heart of the Matter ” Example:
A 20 year old baptized Christian man is seriously tempted by same-sex attraction and occasionally gives into it for the next 50 years of his life.
Questions:
(a.) Is he saved once-and-for-all, by faith in Jesus, regardless of the number of subsequent homosexual acts?
(b.) Does he lose his salvation each time he gives into a homosexual act?
(c.) Is salvation even possible for him?
Excellent message.

“ Timely ” "Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God." -1 Cor 6:9-10. "Being gay doesn’t send you to Hell. And sin doesn’t send you to Hell ..." -PCA Pastor, Dr. Tim Keller, Columbia University, "How to Treat Homosexuals," [http://www.youtube.com/watch? v=LTwugmG4hoA]. However, if a young man loves Jesus and is saved yet is seriously tempted with same-sex attraction and occasionally gives into it (as someone who is tempted with alcohol), is he damned? In other words, does one homosexual act damn him or does his salvation, through Jesus, even remove that sin no matter how many times he gives into it during the next 50 years of his life? Great points.
