The Amish Voice 6
Response #1
The following is a response to an
article we printed in the September
2015 issue, called Fornication,
Adultery, and Homosexuality.
D. Miller:
I beg and plead with the
Amish Voice, please, for Christ Jesus’
sake, unto the glory and praise of
Almighty God the Father, our Creator,
please don’t publish about such
perversion.
Read Ephesians chapter three, and
especially verses three and twelve. There
may be many innocent young girls and
boys who have never heard of any kind
of perversion, until they may read what is
published in the so-called Amish Voice.
What a shame. What a shame. Please!
Please! Please publish and distribute only
the New Testament, the gospel of Christ
Jesus our Redeemer. You could set up
tables at shopping malls, schools,
anywhere Almighty God would open up
doors. I believe I would be willing to
help with money.
Joe Keim:
Thank you D. Miller for
taking the time to write. We do take
your response seriously. I realize that
topics, such as the one I wrote about in
September are very sensitive. However,
it is also important for you to know that
not everyone felt quite the same way you
did. A large number of parents ordered
the set of books we offered — Teaching
and Equipping Our Children for Life.
I would love to hear from the parents
who are going through the books with
their children. If you would rather not
have us publish your response, please let
us know.
Lastly, let us not forget that God has
plenty to say about the
gift
and
curse
of
sexuality.

Please do not send any
more of these foolish questions and vain
babblings . . . . Print the Holy Scriptures,
please. No more and no less. All
commentary or commentaries are foolish
and vain babblings.
Joe Keim:
I’m sorry to hear you feel
that way, Anonymous. In Acts 17:11,
the
Bible says:
These were more noble than
those in Thessalonica, in that they received
the word with all readiness of mind, and
searched the scriptures daily, whether
those things were so.
The Bereans listened to Paul as he taught
in the synagogue. Every day, they
searched the Scriptures, saying, "Let's
check out the teaching Paul's giving.
Let's consider what he's saying as it
relates to the Scriptures." And because
the Bereans searched the Scriptures
daily, they have been noted throughout
the ages as being noble.
It is our goal and passion to challenge
and encourage men and women to study
the Word of God, to compare what we
write with the Scriptures, and to let us
know when we write something contrary
to the Scriptures.
Every week, a group of us gathers to pray
for those who write and read the articles
in this publication. We are very much
aware that we must stand before God and
give an account. Please pray for us and
feel free to write to the Amish Voice.
We would love to hear from
you! —Joe Keim
