Excellent resource. A firm Biblical stand with the empathy of someone who's been there. Everybody needs to be educating themselves. This is a must read for every Christian.

This is an updated edition of "A Strong Delusion" (1996). As he was once under the strong delusion himself he can speak from first-hand experience. This is required reading for someone wanting to understand pro-gay propaganda and theology. The information fed to us by the pro-gay lobby usually consists of half truths (i.e. lies), Dallas exposes these. I highly recommend this book.
For me, his word study on the Greek word "arsenokotai" (1 Cor 6:9, 1 Tim 1:10) alone is worth the price of the book. Paul is using the Greek version of the OT the Septuagint, (LXX). He coined the word "arsenokotai" from the Greek version of the OT, the Septuagint, from the Levitical prohibitions on male-male sex. Thus in Paul's mind the moral law of the OT was still valid in the NT. The pro-gay theologians have to pretend that they do not understand the meaning of "arsenokoitai". Robin Scroggs gave us the meaning of "arsenokotai" in his 1983 book. New Testament and Homosexuality

I am a student of the Christian religion and I'm glad this book could help "straighten" out some misconceptions of the religion that I had. At first I thought Christianity was an insightful, psychologically healthful faith. The kindness, the love, the forgiveness, the equality of all: rich, poor, ill, inflicted; the rejection of materialism, the struggle to do what is right was very appealling.
On just reading the New Testament, as opposed to having someone tell me what it means, I even thought Jesus might be a homosexual. He certainly isn't homophobic. The 12 guys, the kissing, the foot washes, all the love talk, they all sleep together and where are the women? His mom is there but......? At his excution he tells his mother and "beloved" (John) to take care of each other. These people really care about each other! That seems to be the real lesson Jesus is leaving.
Joe Dallas tries to make important the "lessons of Genesis". And yes, he really quotes the Sodom and Gomorrah story as a morality tale? Every man "old and young", turns into a rampaging Homo-rapist and this guy (Lot) wants to throw his virginal daughters into the mob and yells, "take them!" These shockingly disabled angels just stand there as this Lot makes this horrible offer to the mob; are you kidding me? (Later he impregnates both his daughters himself after a night of heavy drinking!, this after his wife turns into a pile of salt!) Can you take this seriously? Christianity uses this bizarre story to ruin people's lives?
Of all the religions I've studied, this one is among the most pathetic. I feel sorry for any homosexual young people in your religion. I've read about your young people's suicide rates. I see how even this grown man (the author) fears who he is. Is Christianity really just another disempowering religion attended to by weak-minded and sad sheep? Judgemental, petty, bickering, prejudiced, non-accepting, hasn't the world had enough of this?
Too bad you're nothing like your Jesus.
Well, it's on to Buddhism.

Christians need to be firmly grounded in what the Bible really says so that when popular culture tries to revise scripture to suit its own hedonistic appetites, believers are aware of the deception.Joe Dallas does a fine job in exposing some of the revisionist tactics of the militant gay agenda. I would also recommend Dr. Robert Gagnon's writings as he is an acknowledged expert in what scripture actually says about homosexuality.Jesus himself upheld the Old Testament admonitions against same sex unions and He reiterated in the Gospel of Matthew that God's intent was for a male and a female to join together in one flesh. Anything else is not scriptual and not of God.Those people who identify as gay and lesbian would do well to research what the scientific community says about the origens of homosexuality. What is known from studies supports the idea that there is a constellation of factors which cause a person to have same-sex attractions...one is NOT born gay.God did not intend nor design men and women to have sexually relations with someone of the same gender. Mr. Dallas provides a clear, well thought out rebuttal of the incorrect distortions that the miltant gay agenda tries to peddle...distortions which neither science nor scripture supports.
