re: Why have churches started allowing gay preachers?

So, the Bible condemns homosexuality.

No, you don't understand his analysis. He argues that the Bible condemns some same sex sexual activity, but, not the kind of same- sex sexual activity that exists in a loving Gay Marriage.

If the United Methodist view is the same, then that denomination could declare that the Holy Spirit guided them to this more accurate insight into what the Bible says on these issues.


But, I would be very interested to see whether the Official United Methodist analysis is anywhere near as cogent as our poster here, and, as you point out, our poster's analysis is not by any means irrefutable.

I'm not going to comment on how "Bible Alone" leads to these kinds of problems, because what I'm after here in this thread is to read an Official UMC analysis of this new interpretation of Scripture. We have already discussed "Bible Alone" in a dozen other threads. No need to do so here.
