If you doubt whether Alan Chambers has abandoned the biblical view of sex, homosexuality, and marriage, then read this interview. Here are a few excerpts, but you can read the whole thing (which is rather short) for context and more.
- “As a man who has same-sex attractions who has an orientation that is gay…”
- “I do not think changing your orientation is something anyone experiences.”
- “If your biblical understanding of sexuality is such that gay is not something that you can reconcile, I don’t think that straight is better.”
- “I do believe that same-sex relationship [sic] can be holy.”
- “I think same-sex marriages can reflect, and often do, God’s image.”
This post is not a refutation of his views. I’ve made my concerns about this kind of thinking clear in this and this Solid Ground. My point here is to make believers aware of his views as media attention will increase now that his book is out.
What a shame this is. I never really followed him or the ministry closely. But when I learned of Exodus closing, I wondered how long it would be before he came out either as a homosexual or in favor of SSM. Now it's clear he's turned his back on Christ. The damage he has done and will now do with this book is immense.
I hope at some point he repents.
