While I appreciate the message in this sermon about unity and not letting disputable matters divide the church, it’s hard to reconcile this with some of the divisive stances the church has taken on issues like homosexuality. If we are to avoid letting non-salvation issues drive wedges between us, why do we hold such rigid, exclusionary positions on something that isn’t central to the gospel? When we create division around personal convictions that aren’t salvation issues, we risk pushing people away and causing real harm, rather than embodying the love and acceptance we’re called to show. Shouldn’t our focus be on bringing people together in Christ rather than driving them away over disputable matters? Why are we preaching one thing-about not letting divisive personal opinions push wedges between us-while also preaching non-salvation issues and taking divisive stances on them? It feels contradictory and counterproductive to the unity we’re called to pursue.
@the_pixelvault It is 😂 half the sermon was him talking about how New Testament writers fought over which sins are relevant to us and effect our salvation and which sins don’t. Is eating non kosher meat a sin that effects your salvation, is being uncircumcised a sin that effects your salvation, is not taking a sabbath a sin that effects your salvation. Kyle leaned towards if it doesn’t effect our salvation then lets not be divisive and push our opinions about it on other people, which leads me to point out Southeasts harmful divisive stance on homosexuality, saying one thing, but doing another.
This isn’t the Roman first century. The Bible says that homosexuality is wrong it’s wrong. This Church isn’t one I go to but if you feel guilty about the conviction of homosexuality it’s not the Church as a whole’s fault but your convictions. Like my triggers are mine alone not yours but the Bible explicitly says it’s wrong to be a homosexual and nothing has changed in this stance unless you’re a Methodist
i love my pastor!!!
Perfect topic for everyone! We experience this in real time.
We're to be of one spirit , worship in truth in spirit.
