Progressive theology on homosexuality is code for blatant sin

A pastor resigned after announcing to her congregation that she had married a woman.
Bishop Allyson Abrams, 43, stepped down from Zion Progress Baptist Church in Detroit. She told her congregation earlier in the month that she married Diana Williams in March in Iowa, where gay marriage is legal.
She served as pastor at the church for five years, according to the Michigan Chronicle.
Abrams told the Chronicle that she was not forced out, but chose to resign because she didn’t want to cause a divide within the church.
The pastor, who was previously married to a man, told the Free Press she hadchanged her views a year ago and would not classify herself when it comes to sexual orientation.
“I progressed in my theology and came to the point where I would love whichever came to me,” she told the paper. “I wasn’t just open to (a specific) gender, I was open to love in whatever way the Lord would bless me.”
Abrams told the Chronicle that Williams, bishop emeritus of the Imani Temple of the African-American Catholic Congregation in Washington, D.C. is her best friend and a support system.
Abrams, who has a masters in divinity and a doctorate in ministry from the United Theological Seminary in Dayton, Ohio, goes into detail on her website about how she reached the understanding that same-sex marriage is aligned with Christian teachings.
Listen to her emotional incoherent justification:
“The Bible teaches that ANYONE who believes in Jesus Christ will be accepted into God’s realm,” she wrote. “You can be a child of God and living in loving committed relationships with persons of the same sex. For the Bible could not be clearer. Everywhere the Bible confronts loving committed homosexual relationships, they are affirmed.”
“God has called me to pastor,”
If that is the case she will need to repent of her sin, get divorced and get retrained in theology.
