Matt Willmington (son of Harold Willmington), a pastor at Thomas Road Baptist Church, asks:

Which of these 4 is your view on h-----------y?

1. Blessed Design
God created a small portion of His humans to desire s-----l relationship with the same s-x. He blesses this design, is pleased by it. These people can walk with Christ. Gods design here includes h---------s marrying in His sight and living out the marital guidance of Gen.2 and Eph.5. He blesses their union. Any Scripture regarding ho----------y refers to excess, abuse, or rape.

2. [It's just a variation in DNA]

3. [God designed or allowed it, but requires celibacy]

4. [It's a sinful choice, needing God's redemption]

Former TRBC pastor Eric Lovett (son of Danny Lovett) replies:

I must say that I highly disagree with number 4!. . .that view is both unhealthy and at odds with who God had created us to be! Being born in a place where we have to constantly try to change what we were created to be?? I actually prescribed to number 3 for a very long time. . . . .I will have to side on number 1. . . .God is well pleased with His creation and g-y and l-------s are his creation and have the same potential to Love God and follow him as any straight person does

Hey Jerome,

I haven't read the rules in a while...about 12 years... and I was away for several years. But for some reason this reminds me of a quote from Apocalypse Now. Is using the term h------------Y (but spelled out) taboo on the BB?
