Exactly.
How is that statement 'clear'? That's still ambiguous. Nowhere does he say it's wrong or a sin. Nowhere is the person counseled properly in that statement.He also pointed me back to an extensive, 2015 article in GQ magazine, in which he told journalist Taffy Brodesser-Akner this when asked about abortion:
If you sit down with me and you say, "Carl, I'm having an abortion," I'm going to say, "I think that you can have this child. I don't know how hard it's going to be. I could never imagine. I do know that my prayer is that God will give you peace to stand on this side with me. Should you choose another option, I will not turn my back on you. I will not vilify you. I will not hate you. I will not, I cannot, live your life. I love you regardless, but my prayer is that somehow, some way, you will see my view on this."
I know that many remain disappointed in Pastor Lentz and some believe his Twitter post was too little too late. But since he had made his position clear in 2015 (in a totally secular context)...
