Writer and author Bradley Fowler established Esoteric Secrets.org
in an effort to promote biblical wisdom today's church refuses to share with its congregational members. He admits, "I was
raised in the church and always struggled with my sexuality. Even though my minister preached that being a homosexual was
against the will of God, I knew differently."
In fact, Bradley became so enthralled with biblical studies,
he began an extensive three year self -study that helped him compile enough evidence against today's Bible publishing companies,
to file a civil complaint in the U.S.District Court of Eastern Michigan.
As a result, two of the three civil complaints filed have already
been dismissed, even though one of the defendants, Zondervan Publishing, L.L.C., accepted that all of
Bradley's allegations were true. But since Bradley didn't file the civil complaint before the three year statue of limitations
expired, the District Court judge dismissed the complaint in its entirety. However, one complaint still stands awaiting a response
from the defendant William Tyndale Publishing, Inc.
Surprisingly, Bradley's allegations against William Tyndale Publishing,
Inc. seems to stand as trust worthy. So much, William Tyndale Publishing, Inc. refused to reply to the
initial complaint and summons that was issued by the Federal Court judge on March, 2009. As a result, Bradley had
the right to file a Entry of Default with the Distrcit Court Clerk. As such, Bradley followed protocol, yet the District
Court judge sided with Tyndale, who failed to meet the 20 day response time permitted by Federal Court Rule of Civil procedure,
and denied Bradley's motion for an Entry of Default. However, the District Court judge did order that Bradley re issue the
summons and complaint to William Tyndale Publishing, Inc. giving them an additional 20 day extention, which is forbidden
by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, unless the defendant request such an extension before the first 20 day extention
has expired. Nevertheless, Bradley complied with
the judges order and reissued both the summons and complaint to William Tyndale Publishing, Inc. on August 21, 2009.
But is there really a case? Giving serious consideration with all facts
pending, yes there is significant reason for such a civil complaint. Reason being, when William Tyndale Publishing, Inc.,
Zondervan Publishing, Inc., and Thomas Nelson Publishing, Inc. began revising the scriptures, each publisher
implemented the term homosexuals within its Bible, yet failed to follow what the scripture teaches
about doing so. As a result, homosexuals have endured a life long struggle of being accepted within the American culture.
In light of the scriptures that teach something completely opposite of
what these Bible publisher's believe is correct, Bradley seems to have a strong defense in establishing what he says is the
worst case of misrepresentation of God's wisdom for all humankind. In fact, the following scriptures convey a message
that completely agrees with Bradley's complaint altogether.

"Because the carnal mind is enmity against
God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God."-
Romans 8:7 & 8, the Holy Bible, KJV
"Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh
be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin."- Romans 3: 20, the
Holy Bible, KJV

Have you ever read these scriptures before? Ironically, there are more than five million people in
America who profess to be die-hard Christians, Muslims, and or Catholics. Yet of those five million
people, how many actually have read their religious doctrine thoroughly?
In fact, reality is, most religious followers
have never read the above scriptures, or many others like these. But why? In a country where religion dominates
societys thinking both morally and ethically, knowing what your religious doctrine instructs should be extremely important...shouldn't
it?
Surprisingly, its scriptures such as these that make biblical revision questionable. Since 625 A.D., the Bible has been the main culprit to
incite mass murders and human slavery. And while millions have accredit the wisdom of the Bible as the
very source that helped them overcome many life threatning obstacles like cancer, depression, drug addiction,
and more; scriptures such as this: "Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility
and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind."-
Colossians 2: 18, the Holy Bible, KJV
Or, scriptures like these:
"This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that
they may be sound in the faith; not giving heed to Jewish fables, and the commandments of men, that turn from the truth."- Titus 1:13 & 14, the Holy Bible, KJV
"But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this
wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven?(that is, to bring Christ down from above:) or, Who shall descend
into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.)- Romans 10: 6 & 7, the Holy
Bible, KJV
Revising the scriptures to convey a message that homosexuals will not
inherit the Kingdom of God is a blatant misrepresentation that has been kept hidden for centuries. This is why Bradley has
established Esoteric Secrets. org. In an effort to promote biblical truth, Bradley hopes to change the way Americans view
and embrace same-sex loving people. By doing so, Americans can relinquish their hate towards same-sex couples, and begin to
truly emulate the message of Christ: "Owe no man anything, but to love one another: for he that loveth
another hath fulfilled the law."- Romans 13:8, the Holy Bible, KJV. After all, "But
the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them,
because they are spiritually discerned."- I Corinthians 2: 14, the Holy Bible, KJV.
"I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress:
my God; in him will I trust. Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the Fowler, and from the noisome pestilence."- Psalms 91: 2 & 3, the Holy Bible, KJV
