The Same Sex Controversy, Defending and Clarifying the Bible’s Message About Homosexuality

Defending and Clarifying the Bible's Message About Homosexuality. In the guise of tolerance, modern culture grants alternative lifestyle status to homosexuality. Even more disturbing, some within the church attempt to revise and distort Christian teaching on this behavior. The authors write for all who want to better understand the Bible's teaching on the subject, explaining and defending the foundational Bible passages that deal with homosexuality--including Genesis, Leviticus, and Romans. Expanding on these Scriptures, they refute the revisionists' arguments--including the claim that Christians today need not adhere to the Law. In a straightforward and loving manner, they appeal to those caught up in a homosexual lifestyle to repent and return to God's plan for His people.

‘This book is the Bomb! I have had the pleasure of seeing James White talk to people. He is always polite, respectful and is very logical in his approach. This book covers every attack on Biblical truth as it applies to homosexuality. Using scripture to interpret scripture and history, James White points out the errors in the revisionist interpretation of scripture so there is no doubt. Tolerance has been interpreted to mean that unless you agree with the homosexual view that it is not sin, then you are homophobic and a bigot. With this book the Christian can defend the attacks of the homosexual lobby and present sound Biblical arguments to accurately show what the Bible says. James White counters assertions from the other side such as the lie that passages only refer to prostitution, or that we should ignore Leviticus because we no longer follow ceremonial law, or that certain passages only apply to Jews, or that Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed over lack of hospitality, etc. If you are looking for answers regarding this topic, this is the book for you.’ Thunderstruck
