Rauser's forked tongue


Arminian theologian Randal Rauser's continues his campaign to normalize homosexuality and transgenderism in Christian theology. Activists like him always deny their agenda. If they declared their intentions at the outset, that would provoke instant opposition. So they resort to an incremental strategy to chip away at resistance to their agenda. 

Talking out of one side of his mouth:

Randal Rauser Mod Rob • a month ago
Interestingly, after I posted this I discovered that Steve Hays from Triablogue wrote a response to my article in which he speculates: 
"I assume Rauser is using this as a wedge tactic to justify homosexuality and transgenderism in the church." 
*face-palm*

Talking out of the other side of his mouth:
The biblical authors did not have a conception of the problem of transgender identity as we now understand it. 
Note the close parallel between homosexuality and transgender identity. Just as the Bible does not offer any clear response to transgender identity as we currently understand it, so a person can plausibly argue it offers no clear response to homosexuality as we currently understand it.
