Imploding Christianity
Bear with me as a take a cosmological event and compare it to the “radioactive Christianity” of today- those who want to pull back 2,000+ years ago and retreat into dead theology. I call it IMPLODING CHRISTIANITY because it is very similar to what happens to the death stars. Either the star explodes or it implodes. Let me deal only with the latter for that’s where I see the best comparison for today.
Black holes are created when a star can no longer generate enough energy to stay alive and it basically collapses in on itself. The star gets DARKER as hell fire and damnation is the currency of the realm. Sin management is the topic of the week. BAD NEWS overtakes GOOD NEWS for those who don’t “do right” (right according to those who administer the laws of course.
The star also gets more DENSE as it exhausts it’s nuclear fuel resulting in too much negative energy. In like fashion, the church gets more full of itself, more sure of all things, and unable to accept anything new, creative, innovative, or fresh. Everything is found in the Bible and nothing can be found outside the Bible: not even the Holy Spirit to teach us new things as Jesus said He would in John 16.
What’s up with that?
Peter Walker put it this way, “Jesus Christ called us to be neutrons who stop the black hole collapse of the body. We must live as those tiny particles with no electrically charged egos getting in the way of God’s perfect post modern storm: a supernova right here on earth.” The church has been shrinking, particularly in America, for decades now; however, worse yet is the dimming of its influential light.
Thankfully the church is being re-fashioned into smaller COMMUNITIES which are not radioactive to diverse ideas, that don’t sit as a judge of who is going to heaven and who is going to hell, but communities that invite open dialogue where certitude isn’t the goal, but LOVE is the practice. The church in America is going through a transformation. And it’s good.
May we neither explode nor implode, but be the LIGHT that we ARE. Twinkle-twinkle little stars!

When science discovers what causes heterosexuality, will Christianity implode?
This should get interesting…

wait, what?

I think this was discovered long ago my brother.
Hormones.

No, because moral culpability doesn’t rest on what causes a person to be moral or immoral. Every intentional act is done for a reason, and only intentional acts are worthy of praise or blame. So it’s irrelevent what the causes of those reasons are.

No it will as usual find some scriptural basis for it and continue on just as it always has.
References :
Only if the discovery allows us to change sexuality.
References :
It will never happen. No matter what human scientists discover. We know that the God Yahweh who is the Scientist that created us knew the same thing billions of years before mankind did.

OH my you are ignorant. Heterosexuality is the basics of reproduction. What else is there to discover?
References :
They were traumatized by heterosexual parents and the media portraying heterosexuality as being "Okay" and "acceptable"
References :
As long as the bible is still around these freaks will not be affected.
References :
You’re discounting the possibility, however slim, that science could find that homosexuality is a choice!!
OK, seriously, Christian scholars will find a way around it, and all Christians will have a new phrase to spit out, like "sure, it’s natural, but we’re called to be different". But I’ve been making that argument for years now.
