“I just finished up this particular podcast; in general these podcasts are very well done. However, todays show left me a bit confused and concerned about some perceived viewpoints on sexuality. I may have misunderstood, so I want to go gently. Did they (you) say if you are a gay Christian that it was unreasonable to expect sexual purity. That it was a double standard if one was gay, to suggest they not to act on their sexuality; to hold to biblical sexual standards was unfair to the gay; that it was ok to engage if the urges were strong? That was my perception of the answer. Further, they seemed to devalue the moral purity movement; that it was unhealthy in some aspects. What is healthy about unbiblical sexuality? It is true that when one becomes a Christian, or returns to the faith, it could lead to reassessment of previous experience, which could lead to remorse and guilt. But the message of forgiveness and redemption are the solution, not to deviate from biblical teachings. You appeared to adapted worldly values and accept them into the faith. The Bible seems clear to me that sex before marriage was wrong, but there was freedom after marriage. That Paul’s letter to the Corinthians says we’re not to withhold sexual from one’s spouse, except by agreement, and for a season of prayer. I understand that this needs to be balanced with other factors. I believe you were off track today, unless I missed understood your statements.”
