Commentary: The causes of ‘great harm’ to the Church

Written by Carmen Fowler, The Layman | Friday, February 18, 2011

If More Light Presbyterians don’t speak for you, if you do not want the PCUSA to become an agent of public advocacy for sexual anarchy, now is the time to wake up, stand up and speak up. Vote “no” on Amendment 10-A, Amendment 10-1, and Amendment 10-2

Seeking to further erode the sexual ethic God has ordained for His people in the Scriptures, More Light Presbyterians (MLP) made the following statement in their Christmas letter:

“The imposition of celibacy upon unmarried heterosexuals or LGBT persons along with the failure of our church to recognize same-sex marriage in the Church or within society has caused great harm to our Church, to its witness within the Christian communion and in the world.” (emphasis added)

Yes, you read that correctly, the Biblical expectation of sexual purity is regarded by the MLP as harmful to the Church and Her witness in the world. It seems the acronym LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender) will no longer suffice. If you thought their agenda was limited to advocacy for self-identified homosexuals in committed monogamous relationships, think again.

The first expansion was to include bisexual people who by definition prefer a multiplicity of partners. The cadre expanded again to include the transgender for whom the argument that “God made me this way” falls completely flat. Now, the LGBT lobby publicly admits that their agenda includes NCSH: non-celibate single heterosexuals.

So, we ask, if LGBT is now going to include advocacy for NCSH, why stop there? What about married heterosexuals who desire open marriages or polygamy? If the Biblical sexual standards are set aside for single people, why discriminate against married people? Why uphold the Biblical calling for fidelity in marriage? In fact, why have marriage at all?
