What the Bible Teaches About Homosexuality: A Response to Revisionist, Pro-LGBTQI+ Theology

In recent years, a pro-LGBTQI+ Christian movement has emerged that has adopted a revisionist theology that teaches that homosexuality is not a sin prohibited by the Bible. According to this movement, there is nothing in the Bible that brands homosexuality as sin; instead, the verses condemning homosexuality as sin in modern translations of the Bible are prohibiting not homosexual relations between loving, committed partners, but rather, pederasty and idolatry. This theology teaches that the Christian Church has allowed prejudice against homosexuals and cultural taboos to corrupt the teachings of the Church, resulting in scriptural misinterpretation and mistranslation. The revisionists argue that the God who inspired the Bible allows sexual relations between same-sex couples and permits transgenderism and bisexuality within the context of loving, committed relationships. Revisionist church leaders and intellectuals have offered abundant arguments advocating for their position and for the abandonment of traditional teachings on marriage, which they brand as outdated and based on historic prejudices. This book stands as a refutation and response to the revisionists. Standing on the solid ground of the Scripture, it scrutinizes the arguments of the revisionists and responds to them point-by-point. It critically examines and refutes the teachings of the most prominent proponents of pro-LGBTQ+ theology, including the Rev. Dr. Mel White and the Rev. Elder Don Eastman. Seeking to correct the course of revisionist theologians, this book aims to set the Christian church back on the course of historic orthodox Christian teachings on gender, sex and marriage.
