When I read his statements, that is what I get. He knows what the Word says and he knows about the realities of this sin-ravaged world.
The Church does need to find a way to reach all sinners.
A simple statement, "All gays are going to hell" may ring of truth, but it lacks the love and compassion that God has for a world for whom He sacrificed His Only Son.
Besides, Hillsong is still connected to the A/G sister organization in Australia. Neither they or the A/G are about to be unfaithful to the Word.

Not everyone is going to want what God has to offer. That is why it is best to preach the Word - laying out the truth and not acting like a politician, in that, you might lose your position if you speak the truth.
It is proven that children need boundaries. Adults need boundaries as well. God sets boundaries. That is not ever going to change.
When people are in darkness, the light feels intrusive to them.
