Should we add the end of slavery to that list?<br /><br />When you say: «But you can disagree with the Lord, with His Word, and reject or reshape it to your desire without offense (except to those who take His Word seriously)», this seems to echo the Richmond Statement: «That as the supreme lawgiver and judge of man, God is infinitely just and wise in all decisions, and is essentially irresponsible for the reasons of his conduct in the moral government of the world—so it is culpably audacious in us to question the rectitude of any of those decisions—merely because we do not apprehend the inscrutable principles of such wisdom and justice.»<br /><br />I agree with you that the Gospel is about the kerygma, the content of the faith, creedal and confessional. However, what I also see is that «the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light.» Whatever the topic. Even in the case of human dignity, I would side ten times better with secular pro-lifers (who have real arguments), than with Christian pro-lifers.
