DESCRIPTION:
Paul Weidig said Gay and a Follower of Jesus. I am a gay man, in the sense that I have undeniable same-sex attraction and have never felt any other in my 70 years on this planet.

What do we do with the argument that the Old Testament laws (such as the prohibition against homosexuality and the dietary laws) no longer apply?Gay a
Michael Brown has addressed carefully and comprehensively some of the most prevailing and difficult arguments concerning theology, the culture and the Church regarding these topics. His latest book is no different and I heartily recommend everyone read it to be equipped on this hot button issue of our generation.” —Larry Tomczak, best-selling author and director of T.A.G. Dr. Michael Brown for over three decades, I know that when he handles a subject he does so with thoroughness, integrity and charity. This is certainly true for me, as I said ‘goodbye’ to my own homosexuality over 32 years ago. “This book is one of the very best to date that tackles the subjects of homosexuality and Christianity together. “Having served alongside of Dr. Ja
