Howard Books is releasing a new title by lesbian CCM artist Jennifer Knapp in defense of her stance that homosexuality is not contrary to Christian faith. In Facing the Music: Discovering Real Life, Real Love, and Real Faith, Knapp “talks about the importance of her faith, and despite the many who claim she can no longer call herself a believer, she maintains that she is both gay and a Christian.” Howard Books is a member of the Evangelical Christian Publishers Association (ECPA). Earlier this year, another ECPA member, Waterbrook Multnomah, published God and the Gay Christian: The Biblical Case in Support of Same Sex Relationships by Matthew Vines. The “God” who accepts homosexuals without repentance is not the God of Scripture who made man male and female and created holy matrimony between a man and a woman as the only legitimate sphere for sexual relationships. “Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge” (Hebrews 13:4). Homosexuality is another illicit lust of the fallen nature, like every other type of fornication. It can be forgiven and cleansed through the blood of Christ, but only if repented of. The justification of sin is a high road to eternal hell. (Friday Church News Notes, May 30, 2014, www.wayoflife.org, [email protected], 866-295-4143) Comments are closed.
