Should church leadership be theologically diverse? Would you baptize the children of a gay couple? And why did Jesus seem to talk about eternal conscious torment if annihilation is correct.

I'm Preston Sprankton.

This is the alleged in the wrong. Hello friends welcome back to another episode of theology in the bra. I'm glad you

join me I've got a bunch of questions in front of me these are the questions that

my Patreon supporters have voted on so thank you so much

Patreon supporters for telling me which questions that I need to answer and

these are all really good questions and this is what's happening whenever I give out the questions to my

patron supporters there's a couple of them I'm like oh man I'm not sure I want

them to pick that one it's a really tough one but but you picked it, and so answer, I shall.

So thank you so much for your support.

If you do want to support this show via Patreon and also have access to helping to choose and vote on the questions you want me to answer.

Okay, let's jump into our first question, how to address same sex couples who would like their

children to be baptized. This is from an elder at a church. I'm just going to say in Iowa because this person didn't give me liberty to specify which church they were at but he says over the last few years we've been working through our church's response to people

struggling with same sex attraction.

He says that the grace truth material that's put out by the center for faith, sexuality,

and gender has been really helpful so I appreciate

that positive feedback I'm glad it's been helpful for you and your church. You say the

issue we currently face is how to address same-sex couples who would like their children baptize.

Our view is that infant baptism is not a salvation issue, but a commitment by the

parents to raise their children in the ways of the Lord. Have you studied these issues?

So I, this is a tough one for various reasons.
