Can we just say it? Homosexuality is going to be the dividing line between the true church and the rising apostate church. And Eugene Peterson’s The Message is being used by those who want to avoid or deny the truth that homosexuality is a sin.
The Message flat out deletes homosexuality as sin from two key New Testament passages and gives a politically correct spin to a third (1 Corinthians 6:9-11, 1 Timothy 1:8-11, Romans 1:25-27).
For this reason, The Message and other ungodly imitations of the Bible will be increasingly promoted by those who practice a “form of godliness” (2 Timothy 3:1-5) that includes acceptance of homosexuality.
Preaching and teaching from The Message rather than the Bible also makes it easier for those who are unwilling, afraid, or just too tired to resist the politically correct juggernaut of homosexuality.
I have written to him the great things of my law, but they were counted as a strange thing. (Hosea 8:12)
Good title - solid material
I think I might have given this pamphlet 5 stars if it had the two paragraphs at the bottom of page 14 up at the start. Lanagan presents good material about a terrible book, but he bounces back and forth between the homosexuality issue and other problems with The Message, such that I found it a bit difficult to follow where he was going.
On page 11 Lanagan quotes an interesting Peterson statement about studying the Bible less, but I don’t see a reference for it. It does not appear to be out of The Message. It is significant enough that I would like to know from where it came. I appreciate that Lanagan has written this. It provides an important perspective. I found Warren B. Smith’s “Eugene Peterson’s Mixed Message” easier to follow with more material, but Smith does not draw out the homosexuality issue. I recommend that they both be read.
