Christianity and Homosexuality Reconciled New Thinking for a New Millennium! by Rev. Joseph Adam Pearson, Ph.D. Copyright Copyright © 2021 by Rev. Joseph Adam Pearson, Ph.D. All rights reserved. This work is a revision of these earlier versions: Copyright © 2017 (TX0008375353) Copyright © 2014 (TX0008250314) Copyright © 2010 (TX0007334420) Copyright © 2008 (TX0007219804) Copyright © 1999 (TX0007459583) Paper Book ISBN: 9780985772888 Published by Christ Evangelical Bible Institute (SAN: 920-3753) Library of Congress Control Number: 2014908419 Last edited on March 5, 2021 Dayton, Tennessee ii Dedication This work is dedicated to the untold number of gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender(ed) people worldwide who have been rejected, abused, tormented, and murdered in the name of the Lord God Almighty and to those who have injured themselves or taken their own lives because of the pain they experienced from victimization, oppression, ostracism, and abuse. The message of this work is simple for those who are still alive and struggle with the unjust condemnation of others: Take back your lives and be victorious. Today, in Christ Jesus, you can have new hope! This work is also dedicated to those in the future who will live in more sensible times — when Christ Jesus rules on Earth for 1,000 years.

This book was first copyrighted in 1999 and has been available for free on the internet in various digitized formats from 1999 up through the publication of this edition. During that period of time, this book has had hundreds of thousands of downloads. This book will remain free on the author’s website in its digitized pdf format because: (1) it is a free-will offering from the author to the Lord God Almighty; and (2) the information contained within it needs to be widely disseminated and easily accessed globally, especially in economically-emerging countries. This book was written through the prompting and guidance of God’s Holy Spirit. Therefore, the God of the Holy Bible deserves all praise for this book because it is He who has blessed the author with: salvation, spiritual gifts, wisdom, understanding, longevity, and success as well as all opportunities for education, personal growth, and Christian ministry. Indeed, this author is grateful that the Lord has used him in spite of his considerable weaknesses, frailties, and vulnerabilities. Because this book needs to be available in pulp print (i.e., in paper media) to satisfy instructional requirements as well as to satisfy requests for gift copies and paper copies for highlighting and handwritten notes during personal study, it is available for purchase through print-on-demand at www.amazon.com. If you have not paid for this book because you have accessed it for free in its pdf format via the internet, and if you would like to make a financial contribution to Christ Evangelical Bible Institute (CEBI), then please purchase paper copies of this book to distribute for free to others, especially those who may not have access to it on the internet. vii All net proceeds from the sale of paper copies of this book go to support branch campuses of Christ Evangelical Bible Institute outside of the United States. If you like, you can also make financial contributions directly to Christ Evangelical Bible Institute to help promote Bible education internationally. For additional details, feel free to contact the author via [email protected] or [email protected]. As an educational textbook, this book is meant to be read, reread, and studied. I pray that you take to heart the truths contained within it, that the truths help you to grow spiritually, and that you are inspired and better prepared to discuss and share these truths with others. Finally, this book is intended to serve God by serving others and to serve others by serving God. Although it is the author’s hope that this book is pleasing to its readers who have struggled with the topic, this book can have no value unless it first pleases the Lord God Almighty. Consequently, I submit this book to the God of the Holy Bible for His approval, and I ask that He bless this book in the name of our Lord and Savior, Christ Jesus. Much love in Christ Jesus, Rev. Joseph Adam Pearson, Ph.D. viii P.S.

(3) Published paper copies of all translations must include facsimile copies of the original English title page, the original English copyright information page, and the original English Foreword. I encourage you to send digitized pdf copies as well as paper copies of this book to family, friends, colleagues, and others who might benefit from it. You also have my permission to post the entire book in its original pdf format on your own web site or in other media formats that do not currently exist in 2021.
