Prominent Progressive "Pastor" Says That Jesus Endorsed Pederasty

Not to be confused with Dr. Kevin DeYoung, Dr. Kevin M. Young, a Twitter personality, has exposed himself as an enemy of God and Christianity. For years, he has been using his education and position of influence to undermine the very foundations of Christianity and promote his own heretical beliefs.

Young attended Dallas Seminary where he received his Master's in Christian Education and later earned his Doctor of Ministry from Portland Seminary, according to his biography. But instead of using his education to glorify God and to further the cause of Christianity, he has used it to attack the faith from within by cloaking his anti-Christian beliefs in Christian garb.

It is upon this foundation that he attempts to smuggle immoral sexual behaviors into the Church and absolve those who practice them of any wrongdoing, arguing against Scripture that homosexuality and other sexual perversions are not sinful. Interestingly enough, but unsurprisingly, he’s now on social media making a defense for pederasty, claiming that Jesus supported this.

Here’s the thread:

Now, one has to wonder why he would go through such enormous lengths to defend something so indefensible. Exactly who is he trying to protect? You can decided that for yourself, but if I were you, I’d suggest never leaving your children alone around him.

Young’s interpretation of Matthew 8:5-13, where he suggests that Jesus affirmed a same-sex relationship between a Roman centurion and his servant, is not only historically inaccurate but also scripturally unfounded—a glaring perversion of the biblical text to fit a modern agenda. The term "παῖς" (pais), which he claims denotes a “gay lover,” is traditionally and most reliably translated as "servant" across numerous reputable biblical translations. It was common for centurions, as military officials, to keep servants for various household duties, devoid of any romantic implications.
