Topic : 06/06 "I'm Gay, OK?"

O.K. 

  

First of all, Because I may have a different relationship with God and Christ than you do, does not make one right and the other less right. You do not know me, nor even know barely know of me, please do not assume that your relationship with God and Christ is far more superior than mine or any other person's. Woe to ye.  

  

What I oppose is when someone insists that someone else's sins take presidence over their own.  

  

Jesus did not say, "Those with less sin, or a lesser sin, or a more insignificant sin, may thow the first stone." 

  

No, the difference between me and you, is that you like to throw stones at others for a sin, that just might, in the eyes of God, be a lesser sin than your own. Both you and I will only know on our judgement day. Please, do not make that day today, as God has not called upon me to die yet.  

  

Just as I have not attacked you, or subjugated you by your sins, I ask the same of you.  

  

Thank you in advance. 

As long as we kneel and pray togeather.  

  

Both for better understanding of eachother. 

  

 I understand where you are coming from, but it is by ALL MEANS our business when it means that a God ordained marriage between a man and woman is endangered in our society.  There are probably ignorant people out there that truely ARE ignorant....but I do believe that twice as many,if not more, are totally eduated on the subject before giving a direct stand on such a serious issue that will affect our country and how our children are being raised. 

  Aids is an issue we are to be concerned with...... this is an ever growing crisis and dilima in the gay community..... the chance of contracting STDS are high as well. 

  Being "closed minded" and"ignorant" means not taking the time to understand the homesexual lifestyle, it does not apply to those who are concerned and desire to learn more about the homesexual lifestyle. 

 Good question.

God will not necessarily give us everything we ask for.  Often He'll say no. 

Like bad events as you mentions. God will allow events to happen - even bad ones.   When bad events happen, people naturally turn to Him.  He is concerned with each individual soul.  If you ask for something that is indeed good, He will give it to you.  Some may think that a brand new Mercedes is good, but it's probably not.  They will ask for it and not likely receive it.  And how would a brand new  Mercedes be of benefit to one's soul? It probably wouldn't be in any way.  It may even be harmful. So we have to look at what we know is God's will for everyone's lives.  For instance, if someone is a drunkard, we know from scripture that this is not a good and healthy thing.  So, if we pray and believe and really want and also take steps of faith in the right direction, God will see us through. 

God is a personal God, concerned with every heart.   In the vein of this discussion, we also know from scripture that homosexuality is not His will.  Therefore, if we ask for God's help, believe He can help us and take the necessary steps in the right direction, he will see us through.  there are thousand of recovered homosexuals to prove it. 

• The choice is most definitely yours.    Showing love for our God means doing his Will.  His will does not include a violation of his laws.  Homosexuality is condemned in the Bible, in Romans 1:28 (read to end of Chapter).  There is no room for misinterpretation here.  Read any translation you want. 
• Using the reasoning of:  "God didn't write the Bible", and "so much of the bible has been misinterpreted", is language used by those who have no understanding of his word.  They read it, but they don't understand it.  We must pray for understanding. 
• Homosexuality is a choice having to do with the desires of the flesh.  God gave you the proper appendages for their proper use.  Don't excuse yourself by saying it "honestly is NOT a choice".  Of course it is. 
• The alcoholism can also say he cannot change, nor the pedophile (who incidently could call his affliction his "sexual preference". Misuse is misuse, no matter how you try to make it seem otherwise.

 

 

Afraid???? Not even close my friend,  I have never been afraid of knowing the truth !  If anyone were to be afraid then you might think twice about seeking the word of God because are you even aware of what eternity in Hell would be like?  It's pretty simple to swallow when you think about it, all you have to do is educate yourself on the word of God and his promises of a better world, which by the way will not include you if you don't seek salvation and turn away from sin. 

 

BECAUSE HE LIVES I CAN FACE TOMORROW 

Everyone keeps misinterpreting what us Christian are saying. Everyone keeps thinking that because we speak out against something it means we hate the person we are speaking out against. Has anyone even thought that maybe they are doing it out of love. That maybe they care enough about someone they don't even know to try to say something to help them see a wrong. I guess only someone who has been born again could know what it is like to REALLY LOVE EVERYONE. Loving someone doesn't mean that we agree with what they are doing it means we love them as a person and we want the best for them. My father was an alcoholic (which I believe is also a sin) and I begged him countless numbers of time to stop. Does that mean I didn't love him. No, it means that I cared so much about him to try to help him see the errors in his ways. Has anyone thought that we believe so much in our God and we know the contentment we feel in our hearts that we want everyone to experience that same thing. I promise you that every true Christian that has posted here has said what they said out of love and in the hope that what they have said might change at least one persons point of view so that they will seek to know God the way only a true born again Christian does.

 If a baby boy is born gay, then he has sexual tendencies.  I don't think a baby boy has any sexual tendencies. 

I also think it's quite dangerous when people start saying that they knew they were gay at young ages like 5 or 6.   That means they started having developing sexual attractions at a young and innocent age, when Barbies and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles should be on their precious little minds. 

I personally don't have an issue with homosexuality.  I also don't feel that it is something that is "chosen", but rather something that is genetic.  I also disagree with what the guest said regarding not being gay anymore because you go through counseling.  I also feel that he has basically been hiding from his sexual orientation and he has accomplished that through becoming a priest.  To say that just because someone, who was once gay, is not gay anymore just because they are married and have children is simply ridiculous.  My uncle is gay and he has been married and he has a son.  My mother-in-law has been married twice and has 3 children, but she is now a lesbian.  So does that mean that theysuddenly became gay during their marriages or after their divorces? I think not.
