The Word of God warns us against this sort of thing in Jude 4, in which the grace of God is used as a license for sexual immorality and licentiousness.

More Evangelical scholars are embracing theistic evolution and denying the existence of Adam and Eve as the first parents of the human race. This is because Evangelical intellectuals want cultural affirmation, which comes by embracing mainstream science and the status quo. Joseph Mattera

I do believe it is clear that marketplace leaders need ecclesial leaders that function as apostles that they can relate to and learn from. Joseph Mattera
