Coming From the Mouth of a Pastor Near You?

A short excerpt from a blog post by Adam from Pomomusings.com

"For some, I believe the Bible has become an idol. Some place the Bible
above Jesus’ compassion and love, Jesus’ radical inclusivity, and hold steadfast
onto what they believe to be the correct interpretation of a small amount of
verses that speak about same-sex relations. To those who repeatedly start
quoting Leviticus and Romans verses as soon as anyone brings up the topic of
homosexuality, I’d suggest perhaps you stick your Bible back up on the shelf for
awhile. Perhaps it should collect a little bit of dust.
And maybe, just maybe,
you need to go out and grab coffee with someone who’s gay. Maybe you need to
hear their story, learn about what they’ve been through, how they’ve experienced
Christians and the church."

It's a shame that this kind of talk is coming from inside the "Church". No wonder the world has no idea what TRUTH is. How can a pastor tell anyone to solve a problem by sticking their Bible on the shelf for awhile. What an absolute shame!
