I agree that our doctrine of God heavily influences how we interpret this argument about God’s expanding grace, but my stumbling block with the affirming church lies elsewhere. I’ve articulated this repeatedly to those who inquire:
If you are convinced that God affirms and includes what some call sexual minorities, then provide an updated sexual ethic that doesn’t reduce every biblical author to a classical antiquity bumpkin.
