Pandering to Sodom?

A continuation of a thread that went over the page limit. Note the first post in that thread. http://www.baptistboard.com/showthread.php?t=56699


My question is, what changes to his website did Warren make that earned him praise?

 

[donnA]

No one still has not told us what those changes are? Makes me wonder if they (the changes) exist.

 

[Aaron]

I believe the columnist was accurate in the sense that something was removed.

 

[donnA]

But what? Was it about homosexuality, condemning it? Was it replaced with anything that could be acceptance of it?
I would really like to know about it.

I never got to reply to someone calling me "ignorant" because I disagree with Rick Warren being the icon for our beliefs. He is too liberal in his methods to be an icon for anyone that attends my church.

Oh well then you all must be a legalist. :laugh:

Here's the wording that was removed:

Because membership in a church is an outgrowth of accepting the Lordship and leadership of Jesus in one's life, someone unwilling to repent of their [sic] homosexual lifestyle would not be accepted at [sic] a member at Saddleback Church. That does not mean they cannot attend church — we hope they do! God's Word has the power to change our lives.

Nope, saved by grace, not by works. You are wrong once more.

You understand that was a joke.

So have they now changed their site to say that they accept those praticing a homosexual lifestyle as members?

 

[Aaron]

God hates homosexuality

If the wording was removed because of pressure from Sodom, then it appears he may be pandering.

thank goodness! I get hammered with sarcasm so much in here, I thought it was just another one....

No legalism here....just live by the Book as best I can and not fall prey to the world's easy way out - and work hard not to compromise. If someone says "It is not compromise" then I have to look at it even harder.

Well I am sorry it wasn't clear. But that is why I added the laughing smiley. But thinking back now that gets abused so much by those who use it to taunt others I can see why it wasn't clear.
