A REVIEW OF SGLE, GAY, CHRISTIAN BY GREGORY COL

* single gay christian review *

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). 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.

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. ” 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. 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.

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

To ll onelf a “gay Christian” is to tack a s adjective to the ont of the pursu of hols. 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? Unfortunately, Sgle, Gay, Christian is a book that fails to fe s terms.
