No Heart in the Issues

Revisado: 09-18-22

Obviously the author's title is "Doctor" but from such a title you get "knowledge" but not "heart." Dr. Hoffman pointed out key items but he doesn't at all mention the heart in the issues. He mentions in varying chapters that, "The Bible doesn't say homosexuality is a sin" or "The Bible doesn't say a marriage should be 1 husband 1 wife," etc. Although he points to examples in Scripture where Scripture does refer to his points he fails to point out that when we read and look at Scripture we must look at it with the heart, the eyes, the lense of God as a Father and Jesus as the Church's future groom.

When we take it from that view we can see that the Bible may not explicity say "yes" to certain things or "no" to certain things, but we see the Father's attitude towards certain things. Although God may not say anything for or against 1 husband 1 wife marriages, if we put ourselves in a father's shoes we certainly wouldn't want our children to go marrying multiple partners because we don't want them to go astray.

Homosexuality and marriage mentioned above are just 2 of many things that Dr. Hoffman address and I just so happen to use those 2 items in this review because out of Dr. Hoffman's other topics, these 2 were the easiest to relate to and 2 of the hotter topics in the book.

So, fair warning, if you are a weak believer and you think this book may shake your faith, please DON'T READ IT. But if you have such a discerning heart as our Father above, then proceed with caution.
