that they are changing the standard by encouraging same-sex intimacy (unless I am reading it wrong and they are talking about it in a non-sexual way perhaps). You're right, I just realised my reply to Forgiven was a touch off-base, not in what I wanted to say as such, but in that Courage is changing their own standard. They're still saying that only heterosexual intimacy is in God's will, and yet they're willing to say homosexual intimacy is OK anyway. That's kind of weird, hypocritical even. It would make more sense for them to say they've come to believe homosexual intimacy is in God's will just as heterosexual intimacy is. They do indeed seem to talk about nonsexual same-sex intimacy as a kind of ideal for the homophilic person, but they're also prepared to support sexually intimate relationships for, I gather, pragmatic pastoral reasons. By the way, off-topic, but with your questions about your female friend and your boyfriends, I want to make sure you haven't missed Prov 30:21-23. I'm concerned for you. Take care, Ben. Fod |
