James C. Jones on Medium.com - Crossroads shoutout!

“Challenge any assertion that the spiritual dispossession of queer folks is divinely ordained, said James C. Jones of BeyondtheBlock on his Medium.com post. He continued, “There are several resources to help you do this including my brother and podcast partner, Derek, as well as Evan Smith’s Crossroads book.” James’s entire post is well worth a read, but here is another tantalyzing snippet:

To be clear, I still sustain the brethren. In fact, I believe I sustain the brethren more than most . . . . I sustain the brethren by holding them accountable to the Christ that leads this church and the Christ I see in our sacred texts. . . . I follow the example of Paul, who called out Peter, a senior apostle, for his bigotry, deferring to nothing more than “the truth of the gospel” (Gal 2:14). I follow the example of Jesus who called the religious leaders of his day “hypocrites” for using God’s law to deny others God’s love (Matthew 23).

Thanks for the shoutout, James!
