I realize that after being told all of your life... and the constant programming of the traditional interpretations of the scriptures on the subject of homosexuality has been a total negative and self loathig experience. My burden is to see people like you come outside of that traditional box (mindset) of the interpretations of the scriptures on the subject matter of homosexuality and to understand those scriptures with clarity and illumination with the love of Christ. Staying in that traditional self loathing mind set will always take you back to the traditional Laws of the old covenant before Jesus Christ and the New Covenant. Homosexuality is not sin, sexual abuse is sin. <BR/><BR/>No one who truly loves themself and has a real relationship with Christ (serving him with their whole heart in spirit and in truth) will abuse themself physically or sexually. We all have to deny ourselves daily of our sinful nature and seek God for his love and his peace to abide in our hearts.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00401541588931573016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-835418469077874220.post-1219251802192335352007-08-15T21:09:00.000-04:002007-08-15T21:09:00.000-04:00Whatever happenned to 1 corinthians 6:9,10?

I personally am going through the same struggle. the king james version says "abusers of themselves with mankind" we ALL know that anal sex abuses the anus of the man. so according to that verse people who do that, AND all those other things listed will not inherit the kingdom of God. regardless of if we think we were born that way or not. are we forgetting our lords command at Mark 8:34???Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-835418469077874220.post-15153153232569700262007-08-13T09:20:00.000-04:002007-08-13T09:20:00.000-04:00Hey,Well I am glad I came across your site.

It's refreshing when there's<BR/>someone who can identify with me. Just to know that I<BR/>can talk to you is a blessing. I look forward to<BR/>our dialogue. <BR/><BR/>I am happy that you took that step with you dad, that<BR/>is something that I can only dream about!! (lol) I<BR/>hate to say it like that but that is how I feel. Have<BR/>you ever felt like if you can change one thing about<BR/>yourself that it'll be that? I used to!! Sometimes I<BR/>wonder if I still do feel that way. It just scares me<BR/>to disappoint my family, and in my mind my reveal<BR/>thing would be the ultimate betrayal.<BR/><BR/>Anyway I won't keep you, I'm sure we'll talk more<BR/>about that. Thanks again for this avenue. I've always<BR/>felt alone, not really having anyone to talk to or who<BR/>understands. Be blessed.<BR/><BR/>Until nest time,Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-835418469077874220.post-54719544093922355102007-08-13T08:18:00.000-04:002007-08-13T08:18:00.000-04:00Absolutely awesome!!What a privilege it is to fina...Absolutely awesome!!<BR/><BR/>What a privilege it is to finally find someone who is serious about their spirituality and not view their sexuality as an "abomination". I'm really going to need your help. To be honest with you, I know what I feel but I can't back it up scripturally. Tell me... where do we start? Where do I start? <BR/><BR/>The conversations that I have with close friends of mine who are in ministry are those concerning the depiction of Sodom and Gomorrah in scripture. We agree that what God condemn was the lasciviousness of the people - the orgy-like behavior and not the homosexuality (because there were heterosexuals, bisexuals, etc. involved). Are we on the right track?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-835418469077874220.post-89627453062503224002007-07-27T09:09:00.000-04:002007-07-27T09:09:00.000-04:00Hey man..I finally read a whole days worth.lolThos...Hey man..I finally read a whole days worth.lol<BR/>Those are some powerful messages you are giving the people..I will talk with u later... <BR/> <BR/>Jarret LawAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-835418469077874220.post-15803087048052672582007-07-27T08:39:00.000-04:002007-07-27T08:39:00.000-04:00Sam,I'm go glad u sent this 2 me.

It's so great 2 me, because some of my thoughts & views R in agreement with the article. I'm glad that articles like this R being written & put out there. There is so much ignorance in the world when it comes 2 Homosexuality. Even though this article may not make a difference 2 someone who firmly believes that Homosexuality is a "choice" , it still may make someon who does believe that way "think" about it. I do know 4 a fact that my twin brother's perception has changed 4 the better. He knows now & understands that I didn't "choose" 2 B this way & he loves & accepts me & now he has gay friends.<BR/>Some of them R his frat brothers. (He's a KAPPA) He's teaching his sons tolerance & about diversity & about not being judgmental . It's wonderful!!!<BR/>Thanks 4 sharing this. I can't wait 2 read the rest of this!!!!
