TheCurtMan What is important is not whether your politically correct or not, what is important is living as God desires us to live. Therefore homosexual behavior can not be justified, must not be accepted nor condoned. The point I was making if the homosexual agenda can convince the world their perversion is a disease then it no longer becomes their fault they become victims. As victims they can't be held accountable therefore they must do what they desire to do and we would have to accept it. This is convoluted thinking on their part, because if homosexuality really was the disease they want us to believe than we should be looking for a cure not acceptance. If someone come down with disease we don't say poor thing they are a victim and we must all learn to accept this and learn to live with it. No we say we must find a cure! Further the homosexual agenda betrays themselves, they have produced literature and such that shows if they can a young person early enough the young person with become a homosexual. This is why there is such a push to eliminate age of consent laws. Right now if a anyone straight or homosexual sexually molested an child there would be guilty of child molestation laws. The homosexual movement wants those laws overturned so they can lure and introduce kids in the perversion. Studies have shown many homosexuals had been sexually molested at a young age by either a close friend or relative. If they can legalize sex with a minor the homosexual movement knows they would be able to increase the number. Your right in your question or statement to Hank we as Christians have not done enough. We need to be in constant prayer that God will move in this situation. The lawmakers are starting to weaken in their position supporting child consent laws. If something isn’t done soon many will be overturned and our children will be open prey for the homosexual looking to lead another into the perversion. Lord may it never be! EdB |

About human brokeness. The Bible is clear about homosexuality being offensive to God. A sin. But Christians really need to think about how to respond in this situation. You mentioned that many homosexuals have experienced abuse in the past. I think this is true and, more generally, that mis-directed desires are a result of brokeness. When we disparage homosexuals, and treat it as a sin more depraved than any other, we are distorting the facts. We are all broken, and fall short of God's glory. (Romans 3:28) We need to pray for the lives of people caught in this mode of desire. If the church cannot live out the gospel in a way that offers them freedom, our message is solely one of condemnation. This is not the gospel. I believe that the church has been so repressive about homosexuality, that we have not learned what is behind it -- or how to disciple and heal. I want SO MUCH for the church to handle gays and lesbians in a way that is sensitive to their hearts, and their personal histories. As for the politics of gay activism -- there is not a conspiracy theory. I think talking about "legalizing sex with minors" is missing the point. Homosexuality and pedaphelia are not the same thing. Gay activists are smart, know how to lobby, and package their message attractively --- look at the difference between a Pride march (the disgusting liscence aside, look at the exuberant costumes, humour, playfulness) and the March for Jesus (sanctity aside, look at the cliches and heavy-handedness)... Say, for instance, that you have strong homosexual desires. If you can do nothing about them --- which is many people's experience -- should you live in shame, or just accept it? This is why gays would be offended at calling homosexuality a "disease" -- it has become something to celebrate and take pride in. If there is no hope of change, find strength in the way you are. While people may not be able to change themeselves, with God everything is possible. We need to learn how to minister in these people's lives. Our track record -- even with faithful Christians within our churches -- is very bad. We need to look at this problem with humility, and try to see how we can reach these suffering people. We need to learn how to love, not shun. We need to find God's heart for their brokeness, and seek after God's healing for them. Leanne Payne's books on this subject are the best that I know of. Her book, "The Broken Image," continues to be quite useful to a Christian friend of mine who struggles with homosexuality. Yours JRM. |

JRM “As for the politics of gay activism -- there is not a conspiracy theory. I think talking about "legalizing sex with minors" is missing the point. Homosexuality and pedaphelia (sic) are not the same thing.” I don't know who your talking to or listening to, but I have read many books by proponents of homosexuality and almost to a person they target children in one way or another. There is actually a homosexual organization (amboy) that provides information how to lure children into the life style. Talk to any homosexual and ask their age of their first homosexual experience and you will see a vast majority were under age. The ask the age of the person that lead them into it and you find in most cases they were of legal adult age. So don't tell me homosexuals don't target children. The leading proponents of this move to legalize sex with children is homosexual activist. Another problem with homosexuality is their refusal to face perversions associated with homosexuality. When interviewed most admit to having hundreds of partners. This type of behavior is consider abnormal and discouraged in heterosexual person yet it is norm within homosexuality. Look at the AIDS even when faced with death many homosexuals refused to curtail their lusts. In fact that is exactly why AIDS spread so quickly. Have you heard of gloryholes? Where men have sex through a hole in wall one right after another never even seeing the person they are having sex with? That is not passion, that is not love, that is not an alternate lifestyle. That is nothing but sexual lust and perversion. The problem in America is we have left the homosexuals dress their perversion as harmless alternate lifestyles instead of showing the filth involved. There is never the mention of sodomy, the very act should turn a normal persons stomach. Nor is there ever any mention about young boys hooked on drugs that are passed around being used and abused by 20 or more men a night. The media never talks about the poor wretch that is forced to service untold numbers of unseen men at the glory holes. NO homosexuality is not about a clever sitcom it is about down and dirty perversion that is abhorred by the Lord. There are many people today constantly tempted with sexual perversions yet refuse to act upon them. To say that because a homosexual has this urge they are justified in following it through makes no more sense than saying a child molester is a victim of his psyche and therefore innocent. If a person really is born with homosexual tendencies (and I’m not saying any are) and knowing God calls it a perversion shouldn’t they live celibate rather than demanding that society accept it? It might not be easy, but then again a person born blind or crippled doesn’t find life easy either. EdB |
