Ayla,

Anne Graham Lotz certain does appear to be free from moral blemish although of course we know that we are all sinners in constant need of the Savior’s cleansing work daily.  I think that it would be very unfair to call her “homophobic”.  This means a fear of homosexuals.  I don’t think that expressing the biblical view of sin qualifies her to be called “homophobic”.  All of us have inherited sin from our conception and the person who lives a life of telling lies is called a liar.  The bible is very hard on those who are “liars” and it says that those who live a life of lies and whose habit it is to practice lies will not inherit the kingdom of heaven.  While we can rightly identify lying as a sin, we can still treat those who are liars as human beings.  Jesus died for liars too and if they will turn from their sin and repent they can be cleansed.  Same thing for adulterers.  I have no doubt that people are born with this inclination for lying and cheating etc because we are all born in sin, but our opportunity is to love the sinner while not supporting or condoning the sin.  I do not think that Anne is unloving or fearful at all.  That is just my take.

Thanks for popping in.  And welcome!
