Homosexuality as a watershed issue — waffling on it signals accommodation of a worldly Christianity
Winger identifies the theological stakes in avoiding the question.
He argues that once Christians begin waffling on homosexuality, a trajectory begins: shaping Christianity to be palatable to the world, ditching unpopular elements of Jesus' teaching while keeping his name. He is direct: if Jesus were asked whether homosexuality is sin, the answer would be yes. The confusion is manufactured to avoid consequences, not because the Bible is unclear.
