This book provides a biblical and constitutional defense against the persecution of Christians who do not support homosexuality (homosexual acts) and explains why their non-endorsement is a question of faith and religion, not of bigotry and homophobia. Dodds's intent is not to castigate those who identify themselves as gay or to inflame emotions, but to present a convincing argument as to why many Christians believe they cannot support the LGBTQ lifestyle. There are Christians in America who have been persecuted (fired, jailed, sued, maligned, physically threatened, expelled etc.) for not supporting, approving of, or participating in the affirmation of homosexuality. Dodds emphasizes that there is a difference between tolerance and support, but that the line between the two has been blurred causing many Christians to be unjustly accused of intolerance and discrimination. While the main focus of most books on either side of this issue is whether or not homosexuality is right or wrong from a biblical standpoint, this book focuses primarily on the injustice of persecuting Christians who believe that the Bible says homosexuality is morally wrong and thus do not condone it. The book supports the position that says it is reasonable, when taking into account the Scriptures that address homosexuality, for Christians to believe that homosexuality is immoral and that it is therefore a violation of their constitutional rights of freedom of religion and freedom of speech if forced to go against this belief or if persecuted for upholding it.TABLE OF CONTENTSPreface. i Introduction. iiiChapter One . 1Sex is a Privilege.Not an EntitlementSexual Immorality Defined . 2Sexual Immorality Identified . 5Premarital heterosexual sex. 5Polygamy. 11Adultery. 13Incest. 17Prostitution. 22Bestiality. 28Homosexuality. 30Marriage according to the Bible . 33Main Point . 37Conclusion. 37Chapter Two . 39The Scriptural Arguments.A Detailed LookThe Six Passages 40Leviticus 18:22. 41Leviticus 20:13. 46Romans 1:18-32. 501 Corinthians 6:9-11. 55Genesis 19:1-25. 581 Timothy 1:8-11. 64Main Point. 65Conclusion . 65Chapter Three . 68Popular Gay Affirming Arguments.
