The Widening of God's Mercy: New Pro-LGBTQ Book, and Comments by Pope Francis

Alpha and Omega Ministries

A new book has been released by the father/son team of Richard and Christopher Hays titled The Widening of God's Mercy: Sexuality Within the Biblical Story. I hate to be the spoiler, but the thesis is, God changes His mind and His will, so it's OK to ignore what the Bible used to say about same-sex relationships, God's intention in marriage and creation, etc., so as to embrace the current cultural insanity. Yes, great stuff, but it is what we are dealing with today. And, ironically, that concept is also behind Pope Francis' recent statements indicating, minimally, his inclusivism, and possibly even his universalism. In either case, he teaches something completely different than what Rome has taught for a very long time.
