Having gained notoriety in 2004 on account of his denial of a doctrine that lies at the heart of Christian theology - the penal substitution of our Lord Jesus Christ (he described this truth as God the Father engaging in "cosmic child abuse" when He sent His Son to the cross for us) - Steve Chalke is playing fast and loose with Scripture again.
On this occasion his assault is on the biblical teaching on the subject of homosexuality.
As a regular contributor to the magazine 'Christianity,' his latest submission argues that we must step outside of the boundaries of Scripture and declassify homosexuality as a sin.
His article can be sourced here:

As may a contrary view, published alongside Chalke's poorly reasoned and biblically redundant piece:

An excellent – and important – discussion of the Scripture passages that treat homosexuality is found here:
