About this series
"A Biblical Response to Same-gender Marriage" was written to encourage participation in a discussion of one of the most troubling moral questions of the current generation. "A Biblical Response" will inform and arm Christians with biblical truth and encourage them to take the Gospel of Salvation to everyone, including the sexually immoral. This book is a shorter version of my book "Biblical Homosexuality," with new material focusing on same-gender (same-sex) marriage. I explain what Jesus said in the Gospels about marriage as the union of one man with one woman, and what he said about sexual morality in Revelation. Taking the premise that Jesus is God the Son incarnate, I discuss what God told Israel in Leviticus, and Christians in Romans and 1 Corinthians, about sexual immorality. Discussions of Genesis 2:24 (the basis for Jesus' teaching in the Gospels about marriage) reveal God’s design for marriage and sexuality. Discussions of Leviticus 18–20 show that the prohibitions against sexual morality, including homosexuality, are not based in a prohibition of pagan religion practices ca. 1445 BC, but are applicable in every generation from Moses' time to today. The fallacies of homosexual arguments, such as the “I was created this way,” or the “genetic predisposition” argument are revealed. Homosexual caricatures of the unloving Christian are also discussed and the true character of God's love for sinners, including the homosexual, is revealed. The low cost of the book has been deliberately set to encourage the widest distribution and participation in the religious and cultural discussions of same-gender marriage.

- Adam and Eve, A Biography and Theology
1
The best way to describe Adam and Eve, A Biography and Theology, is to give a very brief synopsis of each chapter. One: the authenticity and historicity of the biblical account; the method of interpretation. Two: nature and attributes of Adam and Eve’s parent, God; salvific necessity of a common human nature derived from Adam. Three: characteristics of the created human nature; image and likeness of God; reasons God had for creating mankind. Four: the four responsibilities God gave Adam to guide mankind’s interaction with his Creator, the earth, and its creatures. Five: life in the garden pre-sin; location of Eden; exercise of Adam’s responsibilities; formation of the Woman; why God tested Adam’s faith; consequences of Adam’s choice. Six: their crime, Genesis 3:1–8; actions and motives of each participant; immediate and long-term consequences. Seven: their confrontation with God, Genesis 3:9–24; their responses; an assessment of the hope innate to God’s chastisement. Eight: how mankind will live in a world changed by sin, as seen through Cain and Abel; the legacy left to Woman’s seed and the serpent’s seed. Nine: the spiritual problems faced by their descendants. The biography proper concludes with this chapter. Ten: their contribution to theology; topics include the doctrines of God, man, sin, and salvation. Six appendices discuss certain issues in more detail. A glossary provides definitions of certain terms.
- ANTICHRIST, His Genealogy, Kingdom, and Religion
2
Why buy a book on the Antichrist? Because while other books focus on when he will arrive and what he will do, this book does much more. The Antichrist has an historical past as well as a prophesied future. He will inherit the biblical-world kingdoms of his ancestors. He will exploit their religions and create his own. He is a recurring theme in Satan’s designs to rule the world and receive worship. He will fulfill those evil designs. He will cause the death of millions and be responsible for world-wide destruction. He will be almost as evil as Satan himself. The Antichrist, His Genealogy, Kingdom, and Religion discovers the biblical portrait of the Antichrist through an in-depth discussion of every prophetic mention in Daniel, the Gospels, Paul’s epistles, and the Revelation. The conclusions reached are fit together to form his biblical story. The study includes a review of the Antichrist’s career and an imagined scenario of his entry into the world, rise to power, evil acts, and certain destruction at the return of Jesus Christ. Two appendices provide a time-line of the events of the tribulation and answer the question, Are the Rapture and Tribulation Near?
- God's Choices
3
Few doctrines are more difficult or more controversial than foreordination, election, and predestination—nor more misunderstood. Human beings fight against the idea that God makes choices that affect their lives, preferring to think of themselves as the captains of their destiny, sailing the ship of their life wherever free will chooses. God’s choices, however, incorporate man’s choices. God’s sovereignty works through man’s responsibility to infallibly accomplish God’s will and a person’s free choices. How does God do that? Come, study the Scriptures with me, and learn about God’s Choices. The book is divided into four parts. Part one presents a brief background, a discussion of what really matters, definitions of certain terms, scriptures that define pertinent biblical words, and a brief analysis of those words in context. Part two is an explanation of God’s choices in foreordination, election, and predestination. Part three discusses man’s choices in relation to God’s sovereignty, man’s sin, and saving faith. Part four examines God’s and man’s choices in persevering faith and good works. The intent is to provide Bible students, Pastors, and teachers with an explanation of how God’s sovereignty is effected through God’s choices by working through man’s choices. Included are discussions of how sin creates culpability and inability in man, requiring God’s electing choice to effect man’s salvation. The book concludes with thoughts on how the doctrine of predestination affects man’s choices in exercising persevering faith with good works.
- Dispensational Eschatology, An Explanation and Defense of the Doctrine
5
The book begins with a brief review and defense of dispensational theology. The question of hermeneutics (interpretive methodology) is thoroughly examined, with a separate chapter on hermeneutics for eschatology. Then Dispensational eschatology is thoroughly discussed and contrasted with related issues in Covenant eschatology. Is the New Testament Church the New Israel, as Covenant theology claims? Are the Rapture and Second Advent two separate events, one advent, or both? What are the differences between the judgment of the church and the judgment at the end of the age? Does Christ reign a thousand years (the Davidic-Messianic-Millennial Kingdom)? Is there a Tribulation, or is it just tribulation? Is Christ’s advent before or after the millennium? These questions are answered from Scripture. A discussion of words pertinent to eschatology with biblical definitions is included.
- Biblical Homosexuality
6
What does the Bible really say about homosexuality and other acts of sexual immorality? The God who prohibited rape, bestiality, incest, prostitution, and, yes, homosexuality in the Old Testament did not change his moral values in the New Testament. The biblical view of sexual immorality and the Christian’s necessary Gospel response are detailed in this thorough study of what God, Jesus, and the apostles said about same-sex attraction, lifestyle, and other immoral sexual activity. Every important Old and New Testament scripture is examined and common objections to the biblical view are discussed. This is a work designed to strengthen and arm one’s faith in God’s moral values and Christian duty.
