Andy Stanley Admits at the ABOMINATIONAL “UNCONDITIONAL CONFERENCE” For Sodomites/Homosexuals LGBTQQIPF2SSAA+ Attendees That he Will Not Answer the Question “IS HOMOSEXUALITY A SIN?”
Daniel Whyte III, President of Gospel Light Society International, says if Andy Stanley cannot answer the question “IS HOMOSEXUALITY A SIN?” by saying “YES, HOMOSEXUALITY IS A SIN,” then he needs to get out of the ministry. He is of no use to God, the ministry, or people seeking God and answers to life’s questions if he cannot answer that question in the affirmative. If a preacher cannot answer that question, he cannot answer any theological or biblical questions; therefore, he cannot be a minister of Christ. He has proven he is a false prophet and a false pastor.

Andy Stanley joined Debbie Causey for the second main session of the Unconditional conference. Causey is a pastor and the long-time Care Director at North Point Community Church. She is a board member of Renovus, an LGBTQ activist group led by her and other gay-affirming leaders within North Point church, and she recently revealed that when parents from church come to her looking for resources for their struggling and confused LGBTQ children, she recommends they attend The Christian Closet, a counseling collective where literally all the counselors and therapists are on the LGBTQ spectrum and are gay-affirming.
Rather than than give a long detailed article, this will be a brief overview of things overheard and said by Stanley. All the direct quotes are italicized.
Andy Stanley said he cried reading Debbie Causey’s book about her gay son.
He said she’s been his counselor for many years,
Stanley said he gets so much Twitter hate, which doesn’t bother him: “it doesn’t hurt my feelings, because I don’t know these people.” But he says he has a little file on his phone called ‘Andy Haters’ that he and his family read out loud and laugh at when they get together.
Stanley said he has a foster daughter that came out as gay in the ninth grade.
He had a long-time friend who loved Jesus and did not want to be gay, and so “the category was established many, many years ago that this isn’t either/ or.”
Stanley says he’s had many conversations with gay people and they were all raised in church. Says he’s grateful for his Southern Baptist heritage, but “the whole category, the whole topic is just a four word response: ‘homosexuality is a sin.” Stanley says that sort of response- ‘homosexuality is a sin’- works fine until your child comes out to you and “suddenly it’s irrelevant. And before long you realize this sentence doesn’t even make sense.”
“And I still get this constantly; ‘Andy, YES or NO?’ We had a Television network kick us off the air this year- just ‘YES or NO, is homosexuality a sin?’ I’m NOT going to answer that question!”
“We have to have new language that creates the potential for a sane, realistic dialogue” regarding homosexuality, because “until we can change the language we can’t have a conversation.“
Talking to parents at the conference who have gay children: “You had four words, homosexuality is a sin,” that’s your whole vocabulary. And then your child comes out, and you have no vocabulary to even have the conversation.” He says: “you have to throw that away- ‘homosexuality is a sin’ -because it’s irrelevant in that moment.”
References a study that says 96% of people who find themselves to be gay have prayed that God to take it away and make them straight, says those stats have a deep impact on him.
Stanley condemns evangelical and conservative churches for saying that people in the LGBTQ community are going to hell, arguing “you should do a word study on hell and realize only Jesus uses it. And he doesn’t mention any of this.”
