I always thought Eugene Peterson was wrong on so many counts. This just confirms it.



This is just a little except from the article.

As it should be.

Have I mentioned my joke that if the "Prosperity Gospel/Word-Faith stuff" was true, I'd have a green lantern ring?

NASHVILLE (BP) -- Bestselling Christian author Eugene Peterson, known for "The Message" paraphrase of Scripture, reportedly said in an interview with Religion News Service he does not believe homosexuality is sinful and that he would perform a same-sex wedding if asked.

LifeWay Christian Resources told Baptist Press it will stop selling all works by Peterson if he confirms he holds the views reported by RNS.

"LifeWay only carries resources in our stores by authors who hold to the biblical view of marriage," LifeWay told BP in a statement. "We are attempting to confirm with Eugene Peterson or his representatives that his recent interview on same-sex marriage accurately reflects his views. If he confirms he does not hold to a biblical view of marriage, LifeWay will no longer sell any resources by him, including The Message."

NavPress, which publishes The Message, did not respond by BP's publication deadline to a request for comment.

And the article continues.

On the Peterson thing, there's this.

He's just backpedaling. I don't see much in there that refutes his comments about "homosexuality is ok because they feel just as spiritual as the rest of us" remarks.

Also nothing about calling homosexuality what it is.........sin.

Probably because Lifeway threatened to pull all of his books.

They still should.

They still should.

Well, he's 85 and I don't think he's in his best frame of mind.

Does that include when he wrote The Message?

And what does they "seem to have as good a spiritual life as I do," even mean?
