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.

*The posters of this video keep on taking it down and re-posting it to keep me off of it (the rascals). It's like a little game with them because I always leave a link back to here in their comment section of the video and apparently they don't want others to read what I have to say refuting him because this vid is usually gone one or two days later after I link. What I write isn't even that much. Maybe they think I'll go further with refuting him here and it will make Mohler look even more in error.
 


Mohler gives 10% of the Word and 90% of his opinion. 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 with 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, the sum of all the Laws and the Prophets, 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 who do all forms of wickedness are in opposite-sex relationships, are they displaying the Glory of God? Two dogs mating doesn't show God's Glory, it just is.

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 whole Bible belief being wrong because of a mistranslation and the error of it, carried over by the writings of the early church fathers who saw animals as soulless and without emotions, literally no better than automatons, that became Church doctrine allowing the mass exploitation and abuse of the animal kingdom 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. What?! 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.
