Entire Christian denominations and countless theologians and Bible scholars don't believe Graham's assertions that the Bible is clear about "doing gay stuff."

So why are Evangelicals even panicking about it? You have to ask yourself what makes this disagreement about sin so different from so many other disagreements about sin.

Remember, it's evangelicals who make the absurd suggestion that the Bible is clear that it's sinful to drink wine. Leaders have to twist themselves into knots of ignorance to even advance that argument, but they do.

That's just one example about disagreeing over theological clarity.

Divorce is another. Evangelical Christians have quietly accepted divorce over the past several decades. Churches kicked and screamed some over it, but data shows that Evangelical Christians are as likely as anyone to get divorced these days.

Are conservative Christians defining other people's Christian status around that? Nope. Nor are they doing so around the issue of drinking wine.

It's just the nasty gays and civilization-destroying trans folks that get these ignorant Bible thumpers running in circles, screaming, and shouting.

Amy Grant is hosting a wedding to celebrate love. If Graham and Brown don't believe Jesus would have attended that wedding and maybe turned some water into wine to make it more festive, I suggest they're focusing on the wrong parts of the Bible.
