J. Warner responds to the claim that churches overly focus on homosexuality while neglecting adultery, noting that cultural trends shape which issues receive attention and most churches today generally remain silent on both topics. He stresses that true salvation requires repentance, not mere intellectual assent, and addresses misunderstandings about faith, sin, and grace with clear reference to biblical teaching.

This book teaches readers four reasonable, evidential characteristics of Christianity and provides a strategy for sharing Christianity with others. The book is accompanied by an eight-session Forensic Faith DVD Set (and Participant’s Guide) to help individuals or small groups examine the evidence and make the case.

Both adultery and homosexual behavior are immoral. The huge difference in amount of public discussion and sermons on these two types of immoral sexual behavior is due to the huge difference in the amount of false teaching.
Very, very few Bible teachers are claiming that adultery is moral behavior.
Many Bible teachers are claiming homosexuality is moral behavior.
In fact, there are probably more that claim pedophilia is moral behavior than who claim adultery is moral.
