“Just imagine a man who spent the remaining years of his life arguing against God’s clear commands suddenly standing before Him. The God who thundered from Mount Sinai, whose holiness caused Isaiah to cry, “Woe is me!”—this is the God Hays faced.”
(The Dissenter) Richard B. Hays, a New Testament scholar, was a heavyweight who began his career with what seemed like a solid foundation in conservative biblical theology. His earlier works ostensibly reflected, at least on the surface, a commitment to biblical accuracy. But somewhere along the way, Hays exchanged the truth of God for a lie—a lie dressed in the alluring garb of cultural acceptance.
Hays completely abandoned the biblical sexual ethics that he once held to, and began to seek the applause of men while chasing cultural trends in sexuality. He lent his name and influence to affirm homosexuality and other deviant sexual behaviors, not as sins to be repented of, but as identities to be celebrated.
