100 Responses to the 100 revs

100 revs have splashed across the news. http://www.smh.com.au/news/national/when-saying-sorry-is-a-risk/2008/08/08/1218139081310.html

100 clergy from various denominations have put their names to an apology to the homosexual community. The apology can be read at http://100revs.blogspot.com/2008/02/100revs-statement.html

Basically the 100 revs see themselves as apologising on behalf of the churches for not being welcoming toward the homosexual community.

The apology is presented as being untheological and neutral. It is far from this.

This blog aims to gather 100 responses to the 100 revs to contribute some clear thinking and Biblical guidance on this subject.

The "church" is the bride of Christ and is only accessed once one is born again. This requires repentence from sin. Without repentence, there is no forgiveness and therefore one cannot be born again. A practicing homosexual is not forgiven because he/she has not repented and according to 1 Cor 5, must be expelled from the church, not welcomed into it. The 100 revs have embarrassed themselves and their churches and worst of all, their Lord. What a sad day! We have allowed the logic of the world to overule the Scriptures.
