- The author, while agreeing that [[Homosexuality | homosexuality]] is a sin, criticizes J.D. Greear's approach to discussing homosexuality within the [[Church (building) | Church]], arguing that Greear is overly critical of the Church's historical stance and practices while being worryingly accommodating towards the sin itself. - The author takes issue with Greear's assertion that the Church has historically mishandled the topic of homosexuality, arguing that Greear provides no historical evidence to support this claim and that Greear's language implies an acceptance of homosexuality as an inherent experience rather than a sin requiring repentance. - The author specifically criticizes Greear's use of phrases like "experiencing this" when referring to homosexuality and his statement that he doesn't "dispute" the idea of being "born this way," suggesting that this language softens the stance on homosexuality and deviates from the Church's traditional teachings. ## Sources - [website](https://centerforbaptistleadership.org/uncompromising-churches-havent-failed-the-lbgt-community-part-one/)
