The true Bride of Christ does not hold up hateful signs at gay people's funerals. The 'true' Church considers what they do a sin. We don't! We disagree with fringe groups like the Westboro Baptist Church and that kind of behavior. Lee address the Scriptures head on, but he started with, and continued talking about fringe groups, like the Westboro Baptist church, who are clearly hateful, as if the Bride of Christ behaves like that. Lee, your problem is what is written in Scripture, not with people who actually believes what Jesus said about marriage. Jesus clearly defined marriage in the Gospels as one man and one woman. Lee's argument should not be with 'The Christian Community.' His argument should be with the Apostle Paul and our Lord Himself. It's not my opinion, it is Biblical truth that sex outside of marriage between one man and one woman is sin. Sexual sin is not about 'us' verses 'them'- The Bible is clear.

People of all backgrounds, nationalities and all of us struggle with thousands of sins. The Body of Christ is made up of every tribe, tongue and nation. He repeatedly uses the terms: 'The Christian Community' and 'The Gay Community' which sounds like he is pitting one against the other. Lee had done just what he says he doesn't like. However, within the first 20 minutes of this audio book, Mr. No matter what your sin is, faith alone in Christ is all that is needed to be justified, sanctified and glorified. That's what I was hoping to hear in this book. It doesn't matter what their besetting sin is, adulterers, liars, thieves, homosexuals, and the list goes on, Jesus is able to save sinners fully and completely, no matter what they have done. Let me be clear, my hope is that all people come to know Christ. That is what is required to go to Heaven. He gave me the gift of faith in Christ alone. He has forgiven me for my abominable sins and has brought me into His Kingdom because of His finished work on the Cross, not because I 'did' anything. Sinners like wicked, sinful women, which describes me.

An Articulate Book that Misses the Biblical PointĪs a conservative Christian, I agree with the author that Jesus is love and our Lord spent most of His time with sinners.
