Just as our President supposedly "evolved" on the issue of same-sex marriage, Rev. Jim Wallis, head of the liberal Sojourners group, has done the same thing. After saying that marriage shouldn’t be redefined, now that the culture apparently want to change it, now he’s fine with it.<\/p>\n
Michael Brown, author and radio talk-show host, wrote an article for Charisma News<\/a> that calls Wallis on the carpet for this change. (Emphasis his.)<\/p>\n Rev. Wallis, you told us in 2008 that \u201cthe sacrament of marriage\u201d should not be changed and that \u201cmarriage is all through the Bible, and it\u2019s not gender-neutral.\u201d Now, in 2013, you want to redefine marriage <\/strong>and make it gender-neutral. In doing so, you have betrayed the Word of God and the people of God.<\/p>\n To be candid, sir, I\u2019m not surprised by your theological flip-flop\u2014just pained and distressed by it, since your name is still associated with evangelical Christianity in America and you are a prominent church leader.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n This is not just an issue of going against what Brown (and I) believes the Bible says, but it’s yet another case of Wallis saying one thing and doing another. Brown offers up many examples.<\/p>\n In the past, you raised some valid criticisms about the \u201creligious right\u201d and its deep solidarity with the Republican Party, but then you joined yourself to the religious left and the Democratic Party, even campaigning for Democratic candidates. So much for taking a kingdom-of-God position that transcends partisan politics and challenges the political establishment.<\/p>\n To be sure, you have rightly challenged us to consider the poor and the oppressed, pointing to the hundreds of Scriptures that call us to \u201csocial justice.\u201d But then you have turned around and applauded<\/a> Communist dictatorships that championed oppression and tyranny.<\/p>\n When it comes to Christian integrity, you disappointed us when you received funding<\/a> from pro-abortion, pro-atheism billionaire George Soros and when you allowed the Human Rights Campaign (HRC), the world\u2019s largest gay activist organization, to take out paid advertising<\/a> in your Sojourners magazine, even though the HRC would love to silence all religious opposition to homosexual practice.<\/p>\n\n
