[TBC: Some time back we noted the statements by Brian McLaren in which he suggested that the issue of homosexuality needed a five year moratorium before believers can address the subject. As he attempts to clarify his position, he moves further away from the biblical position.]

Man Says: I hesitate in answering "the homosexual question" not because I'm a cowardly flip-flopper who wants to tickle ears, but because I am a pastor, and pastors have learned from Jesus that there is more to answering a question than being right or even honest: we must also be . . . pastoral. That means understanding the question beneath the question, the need or fear or hope or assumption that motivates the question . . . (http://blog.christianitytoday.com/outofur/archives/2006/01/brian_mclaren_o.html).

God Says: But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ (Eph. 4: 15).

[TBC: As some seek to be as politically correct as the world, they have forgotten that while we are to speak in love, we are to speak "the truth."]
