The Holy Bible is clear: God created only man and woman to join in union and procreate, and that homosexuality is considered a sin.

A Christian theologian and speaker made this reminder to the faithful after a lesbian Episcopal priest made a bold claim that homosexuality is actually a good thing for Christianity.

In a rebuttal published by Breitbart News, Thomas D. Williams, Ph.D. a permanent research fellow at the Center for Ethics and Culture at Notre Dame University, said, "It does seem oddly consistent ... that an attempt to turn homosexual relations into a good and godly act would be paired with an effort to rehabilitate pride and turn the sin of Satan into a virtue."

The Christian academic was reacting to statements earlier made by Rev. Elizabeth M. Edman, a homosexual Episcopal Church leader, in her book entitled "Queer Virtue: What LGBTQ People Know About Life and Love and How It Can Revitalize Christianity."

Edman claimed that the "queer and trans experience has vast potential to help the church be the church."

"We queers exist, and many of us have lives and sensibilities that don't fit neatly into heteronormative constructs. And honestly, that's a good thing. Our perceptions of our relationships and ethical obligations are at times of a different hue from the perceptions informed by heteronormative Christian ethics. Far from an ethical deficit, that difference is often shot through with valuable insight," the lesbian priest stated in her book.

Williams, however, considered these statements as "onerous" and tantamount to revising the Holy Bible.

He further said that Edman's claim "involves stripping the Bible of its 'heteronormativity' and remaking Christianity in the image of a society that glorifies gender fluidity and pansexualism."

The Episcopal Church, where Edman belongs, has been facing heavy criticism in the past months following its decision to accept gay marriage and ordaining clergy with same-sex relationships.
