True it is not THE worst but it is more heinous in the sight of God than many others. Preaching on Rom. 1 should be as clear as Rom. 1.
Westminster Larger Catechism summarizes Bible well:

This was helpful in his sermon. Many liberals want to narrow the application of Rom. 1 to specific homo. relationships or acts.

This was NOT helpful--esp. since he quotes 1 Cor. 6 prior. At best his point is confusing. And in this time of sexual revolution, we ought to be clear.

Yes, Paul is building up to "all have sinned and fallen short of God's glory"--but why ameliorate the heinousness (clarity) of gayness? Paul does not. Why not apply to the gay industrial complex? If Pauls' Xn audience needed to hear that, all the more non-Xn audience.

I've preached on Rom. 1: There are no atheists; unbelievers suppress the truth; God gives them up; the breadth of wickedness

Does this apply to pedos, polyamorous hetero., racists and Trump voters?
Did bible leaders, or Christ not judge or even mock?
"And you’ll treat them first and foremost like people who deserve compassion, not scorn or judgment or a political voting bloc to be marginalized."

Major concern: First Table errors are serious: Christ did not die for all
Other concerns: made-in-image-of-God card is overplayed (who would say this for racists or pedos?) winsomeness on steroid will not stop the LGBQT machine from devouring the those churches.

11/n Does he agree? "fiercest advocates for the preservation of their dignity and rights--because we recognize wife-beaters, racists and Trump voters and pedophile people are just like us--made in the image of God like us
and deserving of all the dignity and respect we desire"
and deserving of all the dignity and respect we desire"
