Tobin Grant reveals a very common approach to these sorts of issues: everything is seen through the lens of the public sector absent any ecclesial orientation.
His sketch is through the lens of Christianity Today’s articles four views — shifting over time:
1. Biblical intolerance: “The Bible says it’s a sin, that’s good enough for me.”
2. Natural intolerance: “It’s against human nature.”
3. Public accommodation: “It’s a personal sin, but we live in a pluralistic society.”
4. Personal accommodation. “It’s about love and respect, not sex.”
