Item one: Greear goes wrong when he maligns the church for not dealing with the subject of homosexuality effectively through the years, and when he accuses the church of not caring about those experiencing same-sex attraction.
Item two: Greear goes wrong when he fails to explain that for the man or woman who’s been involved in homosexuality, moving from being spiritually dead to being spiritually alive includes moving toward heterosexuality.
Item three: Greear goes wrong when he implies homosexual are “born that way.”
Item four: Greear goes wrong when he makes the case that homosexuality isn’t worse than numerous other sins. This minimizes the serious nature of homosexual sin.
Item five: Greear goes wrong when he implies that condemning homosexuality and warning against it are pharisaical.
Item six: Greear goes wrong—very wrong—when, quoting social justice advocate Tim Keller, he says, “Homosexuality does not send you to hell. I know that because being heterosexual doesn’t send you to heaven.”
