Jesus, explains Jennings, was "fundamentally critical of marriage and family values."  This, he says, "may be heard as good news by those who are regularly denigrated because their very existence is regarded as a threat to "family values."  Furthermore: "A reconsideration of the Jesus tradition in this regard would also allow recognition of the importance of nontraditional families and the value, so often emphasized among gays and lesbians, of 'families we choose'."  The church has misunderstood the Scripture, alleges Jennings, and has insisted on "compulsory heterosexuality." 

But Jennings is not even satisfied with this vocabulary.  In an Orwellian twist, he suggests that the word "heterosexual" should be replaced with "cross-sex" to match "same-sex" for homosexuality.  He promises that this will free our vocabulary from some of the "intellectual baggage" associated with the more commonly used terms.

In order to justify homosexual relationships, Jennings must also sever sex from procreation.  As a matter of fact, Jennings accuses the church of linking sexuality and procreation in a way that distorts true humanity.  "The realignment of sexuality and procreation together with the extreme suspicion that tradition has directed against the sexual sphere has produced the monstrosity that is traditional Christian sexual ethics."

Clearly, Jennings’ obscene theory is the monstrosity.  His book is not only an assault upon traditional Christian sexual ethics, but upon the person of Jesus Christ.  His work is properly identified as heresy because it is explicit denial of the true humanity and true deity of Christ.  Furthermore, it is an obscene and pornographic slander against the character, holiness, and sinlessness of the incarnate Son of God.  In all its ugliness, it is a desperate ploy to undermine the Christian faith in order to support sexual practices and lifestyles condemned in the Scripture.
