    About this ebook

    Jesus' prayer was "that all may be one."

    In this clear, concise, and compelling book, Paul Flaman addresses ways in which we can contribute to fulfilling this foundational prayer of the Christian life when it comes to the issue of homosexuality -- an issue that has caused much division in countries, churches, and families around the world.

    Flaman argues that Jesus' example and teaching help us focus on what is most important, including his call for us to:
    • Treat others the way we would like to be treated
    • Respond to the real needs of others in loving others as he loves us
    • Live according to the truth
    • Take up our cross to find fullness of life
    • Avoid sexual immorality
    • Forgive and be reconciled and healed

      The book should be entitled “God’s approval for homosexuality”. The book is ecumenical, all inclusive and clearly deceptive. It take a neutral stance between scriptures and Catholic teaching . A Historical fact is that the Catholic Church traditions exceeds sola scriptura(only scriptures). The Pope is the Vicar Christus (representative of Christ on earth)- that according to Catholic doctrine means that the Pope’s word is final & ultimate. This book goal is the promotion of neutrality, acceptance and compassion-packaged as truth and love. There is no truth and love in leading people at stray into the harmful consequences of sin in the here and after. Many speak the same words, but not all mean the same by it. That process of deception is called redefining and it’s been a pretty successful method employed at destroying humanity since Adam & Eve in The Garden.
