From the Thorn Bush

SEPT 7,2010
Today I would like to respond to what I perceive as a most dangerous game.IE/WEBSTER DICTIONARY: : a procedure or strategy for gaining an end :that is a trend of evangelization that is divorced from centuries of sound moral and natural laws.
I am acquainting myself with Andrew Marin and was reading his Blog to try to catch a cleaner picture on where he is coming from on his approach to presenting the Gospel of Christ. Marin is by no means the only one with this approach,but it is an approach that in my opinion is fatally flawed. First in Andrew's blog LOVE IS AN ORIENTATION HE SEEMS TO BE GOING AFTER  Robert Gagnon for well im not sure but maybe tooting his horn on his life experience pedigree. If he is well It kinda came at me that way to,however his pedigree is to impressive for me to dismiss out of hand,plus maybe he was not tooting his horn.  Andrew says:



Andrew Marin, author of Love is an Orientation and president of The Marin Foundation:
We can continue to politically fight a drawn-out battle with a government that is not governed through an evangelical worldview, producing more casualties for Christ. Or we can learn right now what it means to live in relation to, and relationship with LGBT people as gay marriage is legalized—continuing to actively show Christ's compelling nature regardless of state or national policy. The choice is ours. Andrew talks about living with tension in this ministry of reconciliation that he is involved in,but where Andrew is the Balance?.For you see Andrew seems to have to many generalities,assumptions,and presumptions in this short spot. For we need to keep fighting politically or at least until we are vanquished and have this option unavailable to the Church. However we will continue to be balanced by loving society with the same love for and with Christ as we do in the political spectrum. Andrew if you say we are not doing this you overstate your argument. If you say we do so imperfectly well come on in the water is warm.Dear Andrew you say and I quote:  

It’s not about me, no matter how much they claim it is. Never has been about me. Never will be about me. They think they’re out to destroy me, but there’s a whole lot out there they can’t see that they would have to destroy first – which at the end of the day they won’t be able to.: Sir who is out to destroy you?The one thing I am leading up to is life itself is (EUCHARISTIC) and so your right to say relational and covenantal. that means at some point the unclean must through repentance be brought to the Eucharistic Sacrifice of our Lord. and here is where those in the outer courts will not gain access into the inner court of his Kingdom. Do i believe that the grace of God by his Holy Spirit is there trying to woo the man or women into this Kingdom?yes but the sanctifying Grace to complete this Eucharistic transition Are held by the Chief stewards (BISHOPS/Holy See) and they are not at liberty to alter the Kings edict,and neither are you Andrew.
