Dr Al Mohler – Who Am I to Judge? The Pope, the Press, and the Predicament
The biggest headline from the Pope’s remarks was not what he had to say about the scandals at the Vatican Bank, but what he said about homosexuality and, in particular, homosexuals in the priesthood. The key sentence in the Pope’s remarks is this: “If a person is gay and seeks the Lord and has good will, who am I to judge that person?”
The papal remarks put the international press into a frenzy. Headlines across the world announced a revolution in Roman Catholic moral teaching, a changed position on homosexuality, or at least an historic “new openness” on the issue of homosexuality.
Predictably, a closer look reveals a more complicated and far less revolutionary reality.
Dr Wayne Grudem on the Mars Hill blog – You Won’t Understand Scripture All At Once
Picture the clarity of Scripture as something of a journey to a distant mountain. We see the mountain clearly from far away, but we will see more detail—and understand more of what we see—as we journey toward the mountain over many months and years. We can see it from the beginning of our Christian lives, and we truly see and understand something about it, but a lifetime of seeking deeper understanding will be repaid with a lifetime of growth in knowledge and wisdom.
