A few days ago Bill Jones tried to launch a discussion about issues that are “dealbreakers” in Baptist life. He got three comments — one negative, but respectful — and a disrespectful blog lashing from a blogger more enamored with the Samurai side of his personality than with the spiritual side.
It’s apparent that dialogue, conversation and discussion regarding homosexuality is still a “dealbreaker” for some of the fundamentalists among us.
In my humble opinion, if even Al Mohler can acknowledge that science has something to say about this issue and begin to wrestle with it, so can Texas Baptists.
Those with passions too strong to engage in respectful, civil and mature dialogue about this subject are encouraged to focus their attention on issues they can discuss with a more Christ-like demeanor.
