Breaking: Sam Allberry has resigned as pastor after revealing he'd been involved in an "innapropriate relationship" with another man several years ago.
Notably, Sam was one of the architects for the acceptance of Same-Sex Attraction Christianity (SSAC) whose false beliefs include:
-Same-sex attraction is never a result of early childhood abuse and is always unchosen.
Same-sex attraction only becomes sin if it is acted upon.
-Homosexual acts are no different than other sins.
-Christian regeneration has no influence over same-sex desire.
-The church is guilty of oppressing this group instead of helping them bear their cross of unchangeable same-sex attraction
@herbert_roch@megbasham The vast majority of human, and Christian, history would say that to be attracted to the same sex is to be severely morally deformed.
It is good that he is (allegedly) not acting on his attractions. But he should not be the pastor of a church.
@RickDeVos@seanmdav I have to believe @RollingStone puts out intentionally terrible lists for the publicity/engagement
Their “greatest bands” list didn’t include Van Halen, Grateful Dead, and many other obvious choices
But it’s a terrible magazine all around. Maybe @elonmusk can buy & destroy it
