Controversy over Pastor Alistair Begg's Comments on Attending Same-Sex Weddings
Pastor Alistair Begg has faced backlash for his comments on Christians attending same-sex weddings. In a podcast interview, Begg stated that Christians should attend such weddings, celebrate, and give the couple a gift as a way of sharing the gospel and showing Christ's love. This has sparked controversy within the evangelical community, with many disagreeing and questioning the biblical basis for Begg's advice. The American Family Radio network even cut ties with Begg, citing his departure from scripture. Critics argue that attending a same-sex wedding would be affirming and celebrating sin, a stance inconsistent with Christian beliefs. They emphasize the need to maintain faithfulness to God's word and avoid compromising biblical values for the sake of maintaining relationships.
