This report is basically on the conservative side and deals primarily against the problem heated by the Revoice Conference that was not of PCA but hosted by a PCA church. Concupiscence is touched on as well, announcing Roman Catholics' support of it, rebuked.

Jones was right on protecting the natural order and creativity of God...<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>as Paul says in Romans 1:26, it is \u201cunnatural.\u201d It is not \u201cunnatural\u201d just because most people don\u2019t understand it or don\u2019t identify as homosexuals. It is unnatural because it is out of order with the physical cosmos as God made it. It is thus both<strong> a rejection of the natural world and of God himself<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jones emphasizes on the otherness of God. Contrasting the otherness between creator and creature, between humans and animals, between male and female, man and woman. This is the essence in apologetics against the attack of the group that promotes \"same-ness\" against the foundation of God's creation. <strong>Against the true beauty and attractiveness of sex and gender.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I still need time to process all these, but certainly, not with the attitude of <strong>one lady who tried to confront our pastor last Sunday School on this with the judgment: Did you guys do Romans? <\/strong>Romans answers all of these.
