What specifically are we not current on, that you and Dr. Hall seem to have mastered? Is it his book(s)?

Tjay as well as numerous other commenters (not sure why you are picking on that one comment) just made a practical statement: somebody dropped the ball. That’s average people talk which requires no intellectual revisioning. And yes, that is irresponsible. I would agree with Tjay that Hall wasnt aware. With the information available there is no concrete evidence he was aware that the two documents we cited were open ended affirmations of homosexual rights to include gay marriage. I’d be interested in hearing from him what his awareness was going into this. Perhaps you can facilitate that.

Since you seem to believe we common saints are not “morally” qualified (which btw way is a rather strange assertion), am I to assume that you believe yourself to be qualified? If so, what authority has qualified you? Be specific.

Im willing to hear your specific refutations of anything here –logical or theological— which you have in your wisdom found to be wanting. In this context, your philosophy is inapplicable:

Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. Col 2:8

I do understand you may sense a duty to help with damage control by attempting to demean and dismiss honest discovery and discussion surrounding this issue, but be dont let your self declared intellectualism make you miss the simple yeas and nays of the scripture.

Thanks and while we’re at it, could you give a brief synopsis of your position on homosexuality?

Gcmwatch:
Let’s try this again. TJay said: “Obviously whomever he put in charge of this didn’t READ it before signing it on his behalf.” Through this statement, T Jay implies that the signer of the document practiced a degree of moral and/or intellectual irresponsibility by agreeing to a document without being aware of its ethical contents. Unawareness of a moral circumstance goes directly to the issue of moral conscious. Tjay, therefore, is making a claim about Dr. Hall’s unawareness of the ethical contents of the document’ hence Tjay is making a claim about Dr. Hall’s moral conscious.
I am very concerned about your thinking that you are qualified to speak with any type of moral authority about this matter. At this stage of the game, you simply are not prepared for the conversation. What is clear to me from reading your post is that a massive absence of intellectual capital is present, and that virtually no sustained philosophical, logical, theological, or serious biblical exegetical work or legal hermeneutics regarding the interplay between religion and social ethics are in play.
Staying current on the literature published by a particular thinker on a subject position you to issue a better critique of that person’s position on a subject. Dr. Hall’s book is on sale in different places throughout the USA. Call the COGIC Seminary in Atlanta. It is my hunch that they have copies of his book, and that they will sell you a couple of copies of it.

If youre suggesting that we are somehow unqualified to assess this situation because we have not read Hall’s writing, sorry to say but youre mistaken.

What may be more appropriate to say is that Dr. Hall should not have agreed to enter into this unholy alliance based on what he knows. Or what you say exists in his research and writings. If he is truly versed in this issue, it was a mistake on his part to be party to this. Again it sounds like Tjay said somebody flat out dropped the ball.
And there were only two people associated with this debacle: Bishop Blake and Dr. Hall.

BTW, can you provide some links to these “works”. I’d like to review them.
