Subject: How Holy Is Marriage? |
Bible Note: Kind Kiley, I submit to you the reason, perhaps, the word Gay was invented is because it’s not in the Word. The Word uses homosexual to describe behaviors rooted in the pleasures of lust and perversion. As I watched my wife’s oldest sun struggle with his “orientation” I observed our church community’s behavior and listened to them as he went before the Lord in supplication to ask for guidance. He was rebuked and prayed for with words of the law and damnation. His sin was unforgivable unless he was able to do what these fine Christians couldn’t. That was to be sin free. I watched my grandson Michael during his toddler years “choose” or prefer to pretend he was a princes with a magic wand. In his early play years, innocent, a babe, he enjoyed his imaginations of being feminine. It came to me! At five he had no lust or perversion in his heart or home. (My son is a Godly man, a good shepherd and he loves The Shepherd.) By middle school age he discovered his difference as it was pointed out by his peers. I will call Michael gay if that is what he will become. I live in sin because I married a woman who was divorced for adultery. I’ve made choices. (Ha! I’ve made my bed and must sleep in it?) This brings me back to the unanswered question about the unforgivable sin. In this note and earlier notes I did not say that homosexuals or the gay practicing homosexuality are not sinners. I offered the perspective of one who has been in the world on the streets praying for and with sinners. What I’ve learned from that season of my life the people of the streets and even some who are comfortable with earthly treasures need or Lord. God works in mysterious ways and even uses sinners to share the gospel. I was just passing through, looking for some study materials when I saw your question and was struck by the sincerity of your words. I hope just me is following our conversation and if so, I’m sorry if I’ve offended you. My intentions aren’t to quarrel or in anyway be more than I am. You both are fine just the way you are. I’m just trying to get home. No more, no less. Do not follow me because I am not the leader. always learning robert |
