The issue of professing Christians who are openly practicing the lifestyle of homosexuality and yet still claim to be in right relationship to God should now be front and center for discussion within the Body of Christ. This coming on the heels of well-known “Christian” singer Ray Boltz who recently made a rather shocking announcement in Washington Blade: Gay And Lesbian News, Entertainment, Politics And Opinion. Boltz informed the Body of Christ that he is unrepentant in his practice of the sin of homosexuality.

In addition, as you can see in the Apprising Ministries article Clay Aiken: Another Gay “Christian” this American Idol favorite and professing Christian has also just come out as a practicing homosexual in the current issue of People magazine. With this as our backdrop in this article we think back to the January 23, 2006 piece over at the Out of Ur  blog from Christianity Astray Today magazine. There you may recall prominent Emergent Church theologian Brian McLaren suggested the Church might “need a five-year moratorium on making pronouncements” concerning its position on practicing homosexuals until “the wind of the Spirit [would] set our course.” As you’ll see in this piece his problem is God has already set our course in the Bible.
