After last week's show on the ELCA's decision to bless the
ordination of homosexual clergy, we had one caller who strongly
disagrees with our stance on the issue. We'd like to think
William for being the kind of caller who, even though he disagrees
with us, was kind and considerate.
Afterwards we talked about the difference between putting a burden
on people (such as many believe we want to burden homosexuals
unfairly by calling their lifestyles sinful) and what it means when
Jesus tells us in Luke chapter 4 when he quotes from the scroll of
Isaiah:
"The Spirit of the Lord is on me,
because he has anointed me
to preach good news to the
poor.
He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the
prisoners
and recovery of sight for the
blind,
to release the oppressed,
to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor."
It's one thing to try and do away with God's Law and do away with
the condemnation of sin. It's another thing entirely to be
set free!
