    Beth Moore Labels Christians Against Homosexuality, "Hyper-Fundamentalists"

    Bringing this topic over from our facebook page:
    https://www.facebook.com/groups/1011...6868343665335/


    -In a continued social media meltdown, similar to the one that had the unstable and hysterical feminist take a break from Twitter back in May, Beth Moore labeled Christians explicitly opposed to homosexuality "hyper-fundamentalists."

    Moore was referencing her Christian critics who have repeatedly asked her to clarify her position on homosexuality, noticing her leftward drift. While Moore sidestepped the issue and refused to say whether or not she viewed homosexuality as a sin, her fans claimed that Moore had been sufficiently clear in past writings, and therefore didn't need to repeat herself. However, it was revealed over the Independence Day holiday that Moore has deleted anti-homosexuality passages from newer Kindle versions of at least one of her older books, thus covering up any evidence that she opposed homosexuality.

    Moore has since taken to playing the victim, claiming that the "attacks" (read that: requests for a clarification on her position) have "almost made [her] cry." Her friends in the Southern Baptist Convention have been out in full force attacking her critics today, with one ERLC board member claiming that "discernment blogs are a big threat to the SBC."

    In response to those dismayed that she has expunged remarks critical of homosexuality from her books, Moore said the following on Twitter...

    Moore, who has done nothing but defend and promote her friend, Jen Hatmaker, after she came out for “gay marriage,” (in fact, Beth Moore supported Hatmaker when she was baptized into the liberal Episcopalian church by a gay bishop), is upset that some evangelicals consider her compromise on homosexuality to be kind of a big deal.

    According to Beth Moore, if you think that backpeddling on homosexuality is wrong, you are a “hyper-fundamentalist.”

    That's a derogatory term in the ears of non-evangelicals if there ever was one.

    One of the guys who commented over at pulpit and pen defended Beth Moore gave Beth's twitter link. I got to her blog from there and found the above posting. It is worth a read.

    She doesn't affirm same sex relations in that article, instead she renounces making that sin categorically worse than other sins. Evangelicals sometimes do that, thinking that since the world okays homosexuality therefore they should make homosexuality the worst sin there is, in an effort to balance things out. That attitude has been seen on this forum sometimes as well. For instance, since more non-gays today see homosexuality as acceptable than at any time before in history (which doesn't mean that more practice homosexuality now than at times before) therefore the world is more sinful now than ever before. That's a typical "be the exact opposite of the world" mindset. They spot one ditch in the road then run quickly over into the opposite one.

    I think social media has magnified every thing to a point that is almost absurd.

    Believing scriptural absolutes doesn't necessarily put one in the opposite ditch. Also, Paul tells us that sexual sin is worse than other sins because one is joining the temple of God with a harlot.

    Worse than murder ?

    Maybe Beth has an axe to grind on the Fundies for her to use that term.

    Here in Norway the congress decided that the old abortion laws didn't address the new possibility of killing one out of two twins in the womb (they call it "fetal reduction") and had a vote over a proposed restriction to the law that would outlaw that procedure (it's still possible but people have to go through a hearing process to qualify for it on the grounds of poverty etc). Most political parties here are pro-choice but this vote created a dividing line between the fundamentalists and those with a more nuanced approach. Two of the parties in the middle of the political spectrum came up with completely different votes. One voted unanimously against restrictions on fundamental grounds and the other one was almost unanimously for.

    Now killing one twin and letting the other one live is per definition a convenience abortion and therefore murder. I will never vote for the mentioned party or any of the parties to its left after that vote. The matter itself is also an example of a far worse sin than homosexuality and also of the condoning and facilitating of said sin by those who don't necessarily commit it themselves.

    So what was the sin God labeled as an 'abomination'? If one sin is an abomination, but this isn't called one, which do you think is worse?
