“The failure of reorientation therapy is why the "ex-gay" ministry Exodus International shut down in 2013. It places gay Christians who adhere to the traditional biblical interpretation in an agonizing, irresolvable tension. In order to truly flee from sin as well as the temptation to sin, they must constantly attempt what has proven impossible: to reconstitute themselves so they are no longer sexual beings at all.”
Matthew Vines, God and the Gay Christian: The Biblical Case in Support of Same-Sex Relationships

“More evil gets done in the name of righteousness than any other way.”
Glen Cook, Dreams of Steel

“Homosexuality, to the limited extent it was discussed in our church, was little more than a political football, a quick test of orthodoxy.”
Matthew Vines, God and the Gay Christian: The Biblical Case in Support of Same-Sex Relationships

“Christians throughout history have affirmed that lifelong celibacy is a spiritual gift and calling, not a path that should be forced upon someone.”
Matthew Vines, God and the Gay Christian: The Biblical Case in Support of Same-Sex Relationships

“The law was good, Paul wrote, and its purpose vital. But its purpose was also temporary. Once Christ fulfilled the law, his followers would have trivialized his sacrifice by living as though they were still subject to the law's constraints.”
Matthew Vines, God and the Gay Christian: The Biblical Case in Support of Same-Sex Relationships
