Dr. Rob Gagnon: The Church’s Debate of Homosexual Unions
Dr. Rob Gagnon has posted a new article enlightening the reader on four points:
- Did the debate over homosexuality trigger divisions over Scriptural authority among mainline Protestants or did those differences already exist when discussion about ordaining gays started?
- Why is it that Protestants with different understandings about Scripture seemed to peacefully co-exist at one time, but appear unable to do so now?
- Why has this debate gone on for so long?
- Is there any way to reconcile differing views over homosexuality and interpreting Scripture?
He concludes that the decision which must be faced by each mainline denomination regarding the homosexuality issue is this:
They will operate either under the motto that innate biological urges are Lord, and we their slaves, or under the motto that Jesus is Lord even of such urges.
