Subject: How Holy Is Marriage? |
Bible Note: Dear Val, "You are correct save your knowledge about homosexuality". I was born and raised in San Francisco and I’m not and never have been a homosexual. I've known and do know homosexuals because I've lived in their community, have prayed with them and have felt the pain of those we ministered to. I gave some personal history about some family members. One is of interest because I've watched him grow from an infant. I could suppose that he was given a extra dose of sinful nature, perhaps to be an example to us? Or could it be that there is something else that may be going on. As an example, I can think of Autism and as suggested before depression and diabetes. I adopted a child who is mentally retarded. The cause for his affliction has been linked to one small chromosome missing (or dead). “so it is hard to see where a person is coming from when we talk about such a highly controversial topic as homosexuality.” Without a doubt! I am so sorry that I continued with these communications. I do understand the warfare our culture is in with an enemy who tears at the fabric of this nation on many fronts. And I do understand the words written by the forum that show this forum to be filled with caring people. i.e. That I need fellowship, that I need to hear hard words and face hard truths siad in love to benefit me, to name a few. These things I write only to ask why is it these folks must turn away from and not practice “their” sin without considering our own “repetitious” sins? How am I justified in my adulterous marriage? I've offended everyone and did not mean to do so. Respectfully, always learning |
