Albert Mohler

Mohler, like Michael Brown, is a conspiracy nut who believes all gays are a cabal secretly following the book; "After the Ball..." (I write about the book on Brown's post). Like before, I'll post what an anti-gay proponent of the Bible has to say and my response below. This one was cut short because listening to Mohler was downright painful and I had to keep picking my jaw up off the floor with what was coming out of his mouth.


 

Mohler gives 10% of what the Word teaches and 90% of what the "Church" gives. 

 

What shows God's Glory between man and God is a man dying to self, the old sinful man that Paul says we are always struggling against inside us. The old nature becomes less, so God can be more. What shows God's Glory on Earth is loving our neighbor as ourselves, what will tell the world we are the people of God (John 13:35). This hackneyed theology of Mohler saying opposite sexes coming together is showing God's Glory with it being a "right order" is basic stoicism. Even unbelievers and the haters of God are in opposite-sex relationships, are their sex acts displaying the Glory of God? Is a male dog mounting a female dog showing God's Glory? These are acts of sensuality, the flesh, and pleasure.

Mohler is showing his ignorance of Bible translation with his use of the word "dominion" over animals from Genesis. The correct translation from the Hebrew word gives the definition of loving "stewardship." You find the word again in Psalms 72:8 with its meaning given in verses 12-14; "For he shall deliver the needy when he crieth; the poor also, and him that hath no helper. He shall spare the poor and needy and shall save the souls of the needy. He shall redeem their soul from deceit and violence: and precious shall their blood be in his sight." This isn't a control from the incorrect translation to the Greek we get the iron-fisted word "dominion" from. By the way, this is another example of a belief being wrong because of a mistranslation. The Catholic Church fathers added their 2 cents by saying animals had no souls or emotions, literally no better than automatons to do with as we please. Exploitation and abuse of the animal kingdom are not seen as sins by most of the Church up to the present day. 

Do we need completion with a mate? Maybe Mohler missed the part where everyone from John the Baptist to Christ to Paul were celibate with Paul encouraging it over marriage. What only completes us is being in Christ (Colossians 2:10). James 1:3,3 says; "...testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
This heretical "theology" of completeness with an opposite-sex mate, two halves becoming whole, is rooted in Greek paganism that also made the case for a 3rd gender.

Mohler says everything we know about life comes from marriage between one man and one woman, a non-negotiable covenant. Did Abraham have a non-negotiable marriage covenant with Sarah over Hagar? Did Solomon have one with his seven hundred wives? What about King David and his numerous concubines who weren't wives?

I stopped listening at the 13-minute mark because this is ridiculous. He's starting off already riddled with errors. I later tried again at the 18-minute mark and couldn't.
