Sure there were some girls that came along that I thought I like, but I just couldn't get me self to like them enough. <BR/>I didn't choose my sexuality. If I had a choice I woiuld chose to be straight. I have cried to God during the last 9 years to please help me. I haven't heard from him. I'm still Gay. What I have seen though is he love for me just the way I am. I believe he accepts me. I don't accept myself though. It's a struggle. <BR/>Homosexeuality is often classified along other 'sins' like adultery, stealing, etc. But it's not like those other 'sins'. An adulterer doesn't say "I can't change, I've been like this since I was a child. I've always been an adulterer." You don't hear these things from them or from thieves, covetors, or even murderers.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09795939901928196504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22977090.post-70124211579549648842007-11-28T19:15:00.000-06:002007-11-28T19:15:00.000-06:00How many homosexuals have you met in real life? No...How many homosexuals have you met in real life? Not all of them have issues with their parents. As a part-time social worker, I have to deal with teens and young adults on daily basis. And even some of older adults come to our office. Some of them are gay and bisexual. Though a few indeed come from broken families, the number of these cases is small. Most of them have lovely families and their parents have been devoted entirely to their children BEFORE they 'come out'. Beside the issue of gay children, I have talked to these parents. Some of them are very religious and quite serious about their children. What I do find it amusing is that you seem to think being gay/bisexual is a sin. Some animals are gay/bisexual; some science journals have proved that with some evidence. If it is a sin, why do GOD create them? Then why do God create evil people accusing of adultery, drinking, and whoring? I do think there are definitely a lot of grey areas when discussing us. No one is absolutely sinless and we are not perfect. Maybe even God and his son are sinners too? The universe is too complex for us to understand all of religious issues during our lifetime. So you should not judge homosexuals just because of the principle of religion; religion is not 'IT' for humanity alone.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22977090.post-52286247948310085942007-03-22T19:36:00.000-05:002007-03-22T19:36:00.000-05:00Do you think God's image includes pride, envy, gre...Do you think God's image includes pride, envy, greed, rage, etc? Of course not, yet all of us heterosexuals are certainly characterized by them. So why is a disposition to sexual deviance related to God's image any differently than these other inclinations?Dutchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12919894439674469638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22977090.post-24108721325880211682007-03-18T21:30:00.000-05:002007-03-18T21:30:00.000-05:00OK, I am not sure what I think about this.

But just some questions: What about genetic defects? defects that have nothing to do with drugs, etc. Just deformities that happen? <BR/><BR/>BTW: I like Mohler but have been concerned about his consistent trek down the 'culture' path over the past few years. He is a brilliant man and I wish we could get more of his scriptural teaching and less commentary about the culture.Linhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04723395060585207854noreply@blogger.com
