I RONATE—AND DISAGREE—WH THIS GAY CHRISTIAN

I eagerly read Gregory Col’s Sgle, Gay, Christian: A Personal Journey of Fah and Sexual Inty as soon as I received . Exercis like the are necsary bee the church has often failed people stgglg this way—by enuragg revulsn toward gay people and suggtg they mt bee straight to fulfill God’s mand.

Sgle, Gay, Christian: A Personal Journey of Fah and Sexual Inty. He, however, balks at the term “same-sex attracted” due to s nnectn wh the ex-gay movement.

A REVIEW OF SGLE, GAY, CHRISTIAN BY GREGORY COL

He prefers “gay” bee  don’t gloss over what he experienc, even though he’s aware that the church n rry the nnotatn of one who acts on their sir. He wr, “[I]f I’m hont, there are issu I nsir more theologilly straightforward than gay marriage that scere Christians have disagreed on for centuri” (108).

BOOK REVIEW OF “SGLE GAY CHRISTIAN”

Rather than hold out the possibily that the Bible might be okay wh homosexual relatnships—which I believe is likely to damage those the thick of same-sex sir—I’d rather affirm the strongt terms that God is clear, and plead that his Word be read. Why Can’t the Church Jt ‘Agree to Disagree’ on Homosexualy? A Two-Mute Clip on Homosexualy Every Christian Should Watch (Sam Allberry).

SGLE, GAY, CHRISTIAN - REVIEW

“Let’s make a al, you and me, ” wr Gregory Col, thor of the book Sgle, Gay, Christian: A Personal Journey of Fah and Sexual Inty. I’ll tell you how I lay on my bed the middle of the night and whispered to myself the words I’ve whispered a thoand tim sce: ‘I’m gay.

Do not be ceived: neher the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men [or women] who practiced homosexualy, nor thiev, nor the greedy, nor dnkards, nor revilers, nor swdlers will her the kgdom of God. It was important to help her unrstand that one of the ss that will keep a person om the kgdom of God is homosexualy. The young woman rpond wh a mon rebuttal: J didn’t say anythg about homosexualy.

Therefore, when we read Romans 1, 1 Corthians 6, or 1 Timothy 1 that homosexualy is s, though the words were wrten by the Apostle Pl, they are also the words of Christ. The Bible strictly nmns homoerotic behavr. Wh the love of Christ for this woman, who had been attendg our church and was listeng to me preach, I was not about to let her leave our livg room believg that she uld practice a gay liftyle and still her the kgdom of God when the Bible says the oppose.

REVIEW: SGLE, GAY, CHRISTIAN

” Some of the men Pl wrote to were formerly guilty of homosexual s.

After readg Sgle, Gay, Christian, I wonred if Gregory Col had ever heard the thgs I told that young woman. Prr to pickg up the book, I had been told that Sgle, Gay, Christian was about a young man who stggled wh same-sex attractn, but he had ma a mment to Christ to rema celibate — hardly mon today’s hyper-sexualized, genr-nfed, stant-gratifitn culture.

SGLE, GAY, CHRISTIAN: A PERSONAL JOURNEY OF FAH AND SEXUAL INTY - EBOOK

Gregory lls himself a gay Christian. Much k has been spilled (or keys have been clacked, I gus) about whether or not a person n be gay and a Christian. To ll onelf a “gay Christian” is to tack a s adjective to the ont of the pursu of hols.

SGLE, GAY, CHRISTIAN: A PERSONAL JOURNEY OF FAH AND SEXUAL INTY

There’s no such thg as beg gay. There is no evince that there are people who have a permanent orientatn for homosexualy.

Homosexualy is, by biblil fn, wrongdog. So why was Greg choosg to ll himself gay? Is he aware of what he’s llg himself when he proudly adms that he is gay?
