This argues the author is all that would remain of the Old and New Testaments in
the Bible when pro-homosexual liberal theologians, revisionists and activists are finished
with it. An empty testament, "detoxified" from condemnation of the unrepentant
sinner and sin. Indeed, an "empty testament".
One could hardly imagine a more contextual issue currently under debate than the much
discussed topic of homosexuality. It has become the number one issue under consideration
within all Church denominations in the entire world. The alarming thing about the current
debate is that there is a marked paradigm shift away from the account of Scripture to an
inductive and narrative approach, taking up the case and cause for the Gay society. This
is a dangerous route for any church to embark on. After all, the Church should stand or
fall by the standards set forth in the Bible as the Word of God, not the standards of the
world.
Chapter one highlights the contemporary situation with reference to the same-sex
controversy. The role-players in the debate as well as the agenda informing their efforts
are noted. Same-sex marriage will impact four very specific theologies and in chapter two
the changes brought about and envisaged for the theology of sexuality is discussed. The
concerted effort to change the church's attitude towards homosex; is in actual fact an
effort to change the traditional definition of sexual sin. In chapter three the impact of
same-sex marriage on the theology of sin will be considered at length. An in-depth look at
same-sex marriage and the implications thereof for heterosexual marriage follows in
chapter four whilst the logical effects on the traditional family will be discussed in
chapter five. Chapters six through nine explores in detail the biblical view on
homosexuality.
The book had been written with the following objectives in mind: First, to communicate
anew to the church the biblical witness regarding homosex. Secondly, to resist the spirit
of revisionism in the church that reinterprets the biblical truths to suit 21st century
liberal theology. Thirdly, to reiterate the biblical sexual standard proclaimed by the
Bible. In the fourth place to defend the biblical views of sin, marriage, sexuality, and
the family and lastly to support and strengthen those who believe and feel the same.
