Quote From: mommyjenna

 Well, the psychologist, here Mr. Lion would disagree with you - that babies and young children DO have sexual tendencies.

I personally disagree with that.

I have no doubt that gay people experienced feelings that they were 'different' when they were children.  However, i think a lot of heterosexual children also have these feelings of being different.  Even Jeffrey Dalmer knew at a young age that he was different.   He had feelings during science class later in high school where he wanted to eat the animal (frog I think) that they were disecting.  Now instead of rejecting that thought, like most would,  he dwelt on it and allowed it to fester.  He then began fantasising more and more about relationships with men - picking up a hitchhiker, killing him and then eating him.  Well, this fantasy came into reality one night and after that there was no stopping him.

I hope there is no anger at the above example.  It IS an extreme one, but it goes to show how one thought that is wrong can lead to actions if we dwell on those inpure thoughts instead of rejecting them.  I do understand that homosexuals do not feel it is their 'choice' to be gay because they have been believing and thinking for many, many years about the subject.

Many of the gays here say they are Christian, yet we hetero Christians get slammed for quoting the Bible, which I don't understand.  Anyway, there is a scripture that illustrates the above point very well. 

Ephesians 6:12

For our struggle is no against flesh and blood but against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.

How does the evil one fight against us?  In our minds. 


Wy must you mention homosexuality in comparrison with vicious criminals who do so much harm? That is a very illogical stance. It shows fear too. I resent that you used Jeffrey Dalmer in comparrison to gay people feeling different when they are children. This is deeply offensive to me and other gay people.

The problem Jenna is that you believe homosexuality to be a sin and we do not. Have you ever studied the Scriptures closely that some condemn gays with? I would be more than happy to discuss these Scriptures one by one with you or anyone. I have no problem quoting the Bible - it's when it's misquoted that I have a problem with it. More than misquoted - misquoted to the harm of others. You, and others like you, have no idea how much harm you are doing the Body of Christ by falsly accusing gay people of being sinners and going to hell. Your very actions and hateful words drive away most gay folks from seeking the very Christ they need. You are the Pharisees of our age.
