Welcome to "Come Out Believing!"

Dear Visitor;

There likely exists no greater battle that an individual man or woman can engage in than that of personal identity as it relates to their relationship with God. Mainstream churches, the fundamentalist right, and zealous evangelicals have long condemned Gay-Lesbian people in wholesale fashion. The truth concerning homosexuality and the Bible is very difficult for Gay-Lesbian believers to embrace as they have so long been indoctrinated and brain-washed into believing a myriad of lies relative to an issue over which they have absolutely no direct control.

Many think that the only way in which one is able to reconcile homosexuality with the Bible is to rewrite that sacred text. But nothing could be further from the truth! In fact, the Bible does not at all need to be rewritten, but rather re-read! Texts often used to banish homosexuals to an eternity in Hell are grossly misunderstood and misrepresented. A more careful, scholarly look at these texts reveal in a nutshell that the Word of God flatly and clearly condemns sexual conduct which is directly related to religion. Religious prostitution and sexual perversion tied to religious ritual were rampant in Biblical times amongst the phallic pagan religions who virtually worshipped the make sexual organ and valued the "seed" of man like gold. Often times the practices referred to in Scripture were homosexual in nature, requiring individuals to do things which they would not ever do, naturally. They would have to go against their own natural sexual orientation to engage in same-sex conduct which promised blessing or prosperity.

A careful examination of the story of Sodom alone is so eye opening for the average Christian that there can be no doubt whatsoever that priests, popes, prophets, pastors, and preachers have twisted this story so grossly out of context so as to use it to condemn a segment of society that the world often ignorantly and hatefully walks hand in hand with the church to condemn. The fact that secular society and the church are so much in lock step over this issue should clearly suggest that something is amiss.

This site is designed for those who are struggling, or those who have just recently discovered the truth that grace is available to all who will hear, believe, and obey the wonderful message and plan of salvation articulated within the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We make no apologies for the positions we take within this site. They are the byproduct of years of personal struggle and discovery, as well as many years of careful and exhaustive Biblical research. We pray that by the time you have finished using this resource, you too will have fully discovered your liberty in Christ and the joy of knowing grace and love in truth.

Sincerely In Christ,
