After listening for many years to the Hell Fire & Brimstone sermons against homosexuals by my fellow ministers of the Gospel, it occurred to me that I myself had never investigated the subject. Of course, just like everyone else, I was quite familiar with the church’s use of certain verses against homosexuals. However, I was acutely aware that the Church has also, in times past, blasphemously twisted the Word of God to justify or condone racism, brutal slavery, unspeakable acts of violence, the tormenting subjugation of women (whom the benevolent God in His mercy gave to mankind as a gift of help and companionship), and the destruction of lives, property, liberty and even souls – and has dared to label these wicked debaucheries as “traditional values” that are smiled upon by the Almighty. I watched the church rail against music, video games, TV shows, and movies, and behave riotously through protests and picketings and campaignings against everything and everybody they disagree with or disapprove of. So I really just chalked up the anti-gay talk to being another ignorantly overblown subject that really didn’t affect my life either way.

What truly sparked my interest in the study of this subject was the astoundingly fierce and downright hateful fury which anti-gay Christians launch against homosexuals, and the shocking lengths to which ministries will go in order to convert a homosexual to heterosexuality – as though such a thing could ever save a soul. Not adultery, divorce & remarriage, rape, murder, child abuse, idolatry, blasphemy, not even abortion elicits anywhere near the hostility and damnation from the Church that it lobs at people who love each other and have the same body parts. In stadiums filled to capacity I have witnessed with horror the roars of cheer and standing ovations and thunderous applause when an evangelist speaks of the damnation of homosexuals; I could not imagine the Roman coliseums being more terrifying. To any sane and rational mind this should instantly raise red flags.

Whether certain types of intimacy may or may not be a “sin”, it is just that: a sin. And every human on earth is guilty of sin, and the penalty of sin is eternal separation from God in the Lake of Fire. That being so, if indeed homosexuality is sin, it merely confirms that the homosexual is in the same boat-without-a-paddle with the rest of us; for nothing is made more plain in the Gospel than that we are all condemned from the moment of our conception, that nothing we do or cease to do can ever buy our salvation from that damnation, and that faith in Christ Jesus alone brings eternal life.

So I began to ask myself what this pointed torpedo of exclusive rage is that the Church has leveled particularly against homosexuality, because, far from bearing any sense of holiness, it stinks of humanistic fleshliness. And quite frankly I’d grown sick to death of religion, sick to death of everyone else’s personal opinion about what they think is God’s views, and sick to death of the nauseating hypocrisy. God is real and His Word is truth – that I knew without doubt. And I have nothing but respect for the rank and file of the ministry of the Body of Christ. But I saw that somehow, somewhere, something was amiss. Even if the Bible outright stated that marriage can only be between one man and one woman and any romantic affection between two people of the same gender is an unforgiveable offense against God (which, for the record, it does not), the church’s reaction to this issue is so blown out of proportion and so utterly far from the attitude permitted by our Lord that I really began to question the whole matter. Thus I launched my own investigation into the Holy Scripture’s definition of mating and marriage with open eyes, willing to accept in the end whatever God has to say in His Word. This website, transcribed from my book of the same name, is the result of that investigation.

This is a very heated subject and naturally there will be opponents to my presentation. In fact, in the many years since I first wrote this site I have received many violently hateful letters damning me to the 7^th level of Hell. Yet not one of those opponents has refuted my presentation. Rather, attempts at the assassination of my character typically becomes their holy mission. Character assassination of an opponent is usually the last resort of those on the losing end of a debate, even though the debate is about an issue rather than the debaters. Therefore, to prevent a cause for an accusation that the author of this site is a cultist or renegade liberalist Christian minister, I present here my

STATEMENT OF FAITH:

I BELIEVE and confess from my spirit that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh – a statement which cannot be professed by those without the Spirit of God, as it is written:

“Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God; because many false prophets are gone out into the world. Hereby know ye the Spirit of God:

Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God,

And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God - and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.

Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world. They are of the world; therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them. We are of God; he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us.

Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.”

I BELIEVE that the Bible, the Holy Word of a Holy God, was not only free from error in the original manuscripts (which have been lost for centuries), but I also believe that God, in His Singular providential care, has KEPT HIS WORD all through the ages right down to the present day as He Himself repeatedly swore to do, and that His Word is found accurately translated to English from the Hebrew and Greek Majority Texts in the King James Version (see the section “Why You Should Only Trust The KJV” later on this site). I consider the Bible to be the final and absolute authority on matters of Faith above and beyond all other authorities on earth, against which we judge all things, as it is written, “Thou hast magnified Thy Word above all Thy name!”

I BELIEVE that, since God proclaims that Man is made in His image as a triune singular being consisting of a soul and a body and a spirit (Genesis 1:26-27 & 2:7/1st Thessalonians 5:23), therefore God Himself must be a triune singular Being eternally consisting of Father and Son and Holy Spirit, Who are individually and collectively and singularly infinite in glory, wisdom, holiness, justice, power and love (see Genesis 1 thru Revelation 22).

I BELIEVE that Jesus Christ is both true Man (Matthew 24:30) and God Almighty (John 1:1), the Creator of heaven and earth and all that is in them (John 1:3), the fullness of the Godhead bodily (Colossians 2:9), who, in His incarnation, was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit (Luke 1:35), and born by way of a human virgin who was the descendant of King David, Jesse, Judah, Israel, Isaac, Abraham, Noah, and Adam (Matthew 1:1-23), making Him therefore both the Son of Man and the Son of God equally, in fulfillment of the prophecies pertaining to Messiah. In His earthly ministry He lived a sinless life (Hebrew 4:15), performed miracles as evidence and demonstration of His authority and of His love and mercy (Isaiah 61:1), and died on the cross at the hands of Man as a sacrificial Lamb for our sins (Genesis 22:8/Daniel 9:26a/Isaiah 53/ 1^st Corinthians 5:7/Hebrews 10:12-14). He rose from the dead (Acts 3:15/Revelation 2:8) in the same body now glorified (John 20:19-29) to secure that same resurrection for those who believe on His name (Philippians 3:7-12). He ascended into Heaven (John 3:13) where, at the right hand of the Father (Acts 2:33/Hebrews 8:1, He alone makes continual intercession between Man and the Father (Hebrews 7:25/Romans 8:34/1^st Timothy 2:5), until His physical and visible return (Revelation 1:7) to contend with the wicked and to receive unto Himself those who believe in Him, that where He is, they may be also (John 17:20-24).

I BELIEVE that the Holy Spirit, Whose ministry and gifts did not end with the primitive church but is fully active today, is co-equal and one with the Father and the Son; that He regenerates the believing sinner to new life; indwells, guides, instructs, chastises and empowers the believer for Godly living and service; and comforts the children of God. The Holy Spirit guides and gives power to the church - the individual Believers in the collective Body of Christ - to fulfill the Great Commission, and that He *convicts the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment (John 16:8).

[*We interrupt this program to deal with an annoying issue which is somehow sending some readers on a needless and distracting tangent. Please notice that I said CONVICTS "THE WORLD" - which is a biblical reference to those who are Lost, not those who are Saved; so kindly stop sending me emails saying that the Holy Spirit doesn't convict believers because I didn't say here that He does. Thank you. The problem of not paying attention to what one is reading is the very cause of all of the religious chaos in the world and is the very point that I'm trying to make in Gay Christian Survivors. A Christian should always double-check and re-read something they have an issue with BEFORE they shoot their mouth off and disgrace the Body of Christ. Remember, what you say and what accusations you make affect the safety of the entire Body of Christ. Now back to our regularly scheduled program].

I BELIEVE that while Man was created perfectly in the image and likeness of God, through the sin and disobedience of Adam, mankind - being the very offspring of the body of corrupted Adam - fell into sin and is therefore lost apart from Christ. Except a man be born again by faith in Jesus Christ, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Salvation, purchased for us by the shed blood of Jesus Christ, is the gift of God to all those who will receive it and includes the forgiveness of sins, total justification, communion with God, the imputation of the Righteousness of Jesus Christ, and the bestowal of eternal life. Union with this God alone provides all blessings in this life and the life hereafter. Salvation is received by faith alone, apart from all good works and merit - but with righteous and obedient behavior following as a visible proof of that faith.

I BELIEVE that the Body of Christ - the Church - is not contained in any particular organized or self-declared denomination of religion, but is composed of all those regenerated by the Spirit of God by their faith in Christ Jesus, by whom they have been baptized into one Body, of which Christ alone is the Head. The purpose of this church, this Body of Christ, is to bear witness and testimony concerning Jesus Christ according to the Scriptures, to contend for the faith against false doctrine, and to preach the Gospel among all nations.
