Cal Thomas on Modern Church
I agree with the essence of Thomas’ commentary. The Christian church should not conform to the world’s standards. Christ calls his church “the salt of the Earth.”
Yet Thomas uses three examples to “demonstrate the growing irrelevance of some modern Christian churches . . . “ each one citing the acceptance of homosexuality. There are many ways the church is falling short, but to cite only incidents dealing with homosexuality gives the impression that Christ rejects the homosexual. He does not.
According to the Bible, practicing homosexuality is a sin--in the same way adultery and fornication are sins, that is, sex outside of marriage. Christ hates sin, but he loves the sinner. Jesus loves the homosexual. Jesus loves Cal Thomas.
