GOD’S GAY AGENDA: GAYS AND LESBIANS IN THE BIBLE, CHURCH AND MARRIAGE by Sandra Turnbull is an incredible, eye-opening book that every believer should read.
Turnbull has had personal experience with the issue of gays and lesbians and enough religious training to make true believers in Christ take a more in-depth look into this taboo subject. This book is phenomenal in its scope, covering areas of this persecuted, often condemned ‘nation’ of people I have never heard before. Extremely well researched and well written, GOD’S GAY AGENDA: GAYS AND LESBIANS IN THE BIBLE, CHURCH AND MARRIAGE has given this believer an entirely knew perspective on the matter. Although I cannot say I am totally convinced, I have certainly come away with new eyes and fully intend to learn more, through seeking God further on the matter and doing my own research.
GOD’S GAY AGENDA: GAYS AND LESBIANS IN THE BIBLE, CHURCH AND MARRIAGE does an excellent job in discussing the three types of eunuchs from Jesus’ perspective and also the role they are to play in the future of the Church. Having looked up the Scriptures and Hebrew/Greek meanings of the terminology Turnbull discusses, it is clear she is right on the money. By looking at the clobber verses she mentions, that most believers are aware of in Scripture, it is easy to take the meaning of them at face value. But, as Turnbull discusses them more in depth, referring to history and the true meanings of certain words as shared in Greek and Hebrew, it gives the reader cause to consider that, perhaps, all we have been taught is indeed a lie or a misinterpretation of the truth.
I cannot say enough good things about Turnbull’s courage in writing what may very well be the truth on this subject, and I strongly urge every believer to read GOD’S GAY AGENDA: GAYS AND LESBIANS IN THE BIBLE, CHURCH AND MARRIAGE, to ignore the critics and naysayers, and form your own opinion about these unique individuals who are so special to God. The time is indeed short, considering all that is happening in our world, and it is interesting to note that, perhaps, this particular ‘nation’ of people, as Turnbull refers to them, are indeed some of the people that God may use to help bring about the final harvest of believers throughout the world.
I must again make it clear that I am not completely convinced on this matter, particularly regarding marriage among same-sex individuals, but I am going to do my utmost to learn the Truth for myself.
I urge anyone interested to read GOD’S GAY AGENDA: GAYS AND LESBIANS IN THE BIBLE, CHURCH AND MARRIAGE, to consider the truth for yourself. Because if we have been wrongfully ignoring, hating, persecuting, judging gays and lesbians all these years, then major changes must take place in our own hearts and, more importantly, in the Church before Jesus Christ returns. Because He wants His Bride spotless, and it never will be if those He loves are continually rejected by other believers.
