'I have undergone a massive shift in regard to my faith in Jesus,' says Josh Harris, author of 'I Kissed Dating Goodbye.'

"While I stand by my book's call to sincerely love others, my thinking has changed significantly in the past 20 years. I no longer agree with its central idea that dating should be avoided. I now think dating can be a healthy part of a person developing relationally and learning the qualities that matter most in a partner."

Harris has walked back some of his views in recent years, stating he no longer believed Christians shouldn't date. He"I have lived in repentance for the past several years—repenting of my self-righteousness, my fear-based approach to life, the teaching of my books, my views of women in the church, and my approach to parenting to name a few."Josh Harris and his wife have announced they are separating.

"I do commend you for the intellectual integrity for recognizing that your secondary views are utterly inconsistent with Christianity," he added"As is your view that it is ok to walk away from your marriage for the reasons you have stated. Both of these proved that you had renounced Christianity before you said so publicly."also posted an open letter, urging congregants to pray for Harris'"redemption and restoration.

"Several times [the Apostle] Paul mentions former Christian leaders 'swerving from,' 'wandering from,' or 'making shipwreck' of their faith," wrote current pastor Kevin Rogers."So while this is sad and confusing, it isn't new."

JoshHarris, I'm sure you feel ashamed for presiding over a legalism that damaged people. That shame has been a wedge between you and God and now you're lost. Sadly, your newest announcement will shipwreck people in an even worse way. Cry out to God for help. He loves you.

Here's a thought give all the money that you made off of that book to the LGBT community why not

Stop giving this fool a platform.

The ONLY sin God has said he will not forgive is that of denying Him. I wouldn't want to stand next to this guy on Judgement Day.

So that pastor who is criticizing this dude’s divorce didn’t happen to vote for trump did he?
