What the Bible Really Says About Homosexuality
By
Daniel Helminiak, Ph.D. 

Let us therefore no longer pass judgment on one another, but resolve instead never to put a stumbling block or hindrance in the way of another. I know and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus that nothing is unclean in itself; but it is unclean for anyone who thinks it unclean.
Romans 14:13-14

In America, it is widely taught that hating Gays and Lesbians is perfectly acceptable behavior. Hate and loathing of Homosexuals is even preached directly from the pulpit of many churches in the United States, with horrific results.

30 to 40 percent of the youth living on the streets are teenagers who were thrown out of or left their homes because they are homosexual.

Thirty percent of teen age suicides are among homosexual youth. Proportionately, this figure is at least two to three times higher than for other adolescents.

People lose custody of their children or visitation rights for being lesbian or gay.

Men and women are evicted from their apartments or their houses are burned--because somebody said they were gay.

Gay men and lesbians are routinely beaten up--and murdered--for being homosexual.

Public officials make abusive comments about the homosexual minority and easily get away with it.

A judge hands down a blatantly prejudiced judgment against a gay man's murders and then is easily re-elected.

A presidential administration and much of the nation ignore an epidemic that in the US was initially most prevalent among homosexual men.

A gay man dies of AIDS in his home, locked away from every outsider, without any medical attention, because his family did not want others to know.

Much human potential is squashed and wasted in people who live for years in secret self-hatred, taught to be afraid of their own hearts.

And now the time has come for all of that to end. Daniel Helminiak has published a book titled: What the Bible Really Says about Homosexuality. His work, along with the research of top scholars--such as Yale history professor John Boswell and New Testament professors L. William Countryman of Berkeley and Robin Scroggs of Union Theological Seminary--shows that those who perceive Bible passages as condemning homosexuality are being misled by faulty translation and poor interpretation.

Daniel A. Helminiak, Ph.D., respected theologian and former Roman Catholic priest, explains in a clear fashion the fascinating new insights of these scholars.

The Bible has been used to justify slavery, inquisitions, apartheid and the subjugation of women. Now read what the Bible really says about Homosexuality!
