Whatever Happened to the SSM Blogalogue?

If Tony Jones echoes what the pomomusings sight had to say regarding this issue, then we can definitely be assured that he thrown the Bible completely out the window.

It's just like the Emergent matriarch Phyllis Tickle-our-ears said, "It's not if sola Scriptura ends, but when."

It ended for the Emergents along time ago.

Allowing sola Sciptura to go by the wayside just as the primacy of the Pope was allowed to do is not the same as "throwing the Bible completely out of the window."It's much more nuanced than that.

I could not have written it any better.

Carl Trueman has written the nicest critique of Newsweek's defense of gay marriage.

Trueman's conclusion is wonderful and Christ-like.

The article does end on a note with which I wholeheartedly agree, however, at least on the surface. She quotes a pro-gay priest as saying `if Jesus were alive today, he would reach out especially to the gays and lesbians among us.' Amen, So he would. But not with the tawdry bauble of passing social acceptance; rather he would reach out with the love of the Father for those who are unlovely, offering them life in abundance, not through some intense but illicit orgasm; rather through the forgiveness and newness of life that comes from life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Even as the church must dismantle erroneous hermeneutics and defend the authority of scripture, so she must also reach out with the love of the gospel to the dirty, the immoral, the things that are not, with the light of the gospel. With what does the Christ of Ms Miller reach out? A piece of paper and the promise of a few years of companionship, perhaps some great sex, and then what?

Peace, Jeff
