Subject: Disease or Bad Personal Choice?? |
Bible Note: angellightboy, You are right about one thing; "The way to God, I dont believe is being straight." It isn't being "gay" either. It is being holy. And chastity is part of being holy. Chastity applies to everyone, whether married or single, widowed or divorced, male or female, tempted by members of the opposite sex the same sex or another specie. Have you considered the possibilty of a chaste life? Yes, I know it is a hard teaching and hard to accept. We all are called to a chaste life. The single person who was never offered a marriage proposal, the handicapped who cannot marry or will not be asked for in marriage, the widow and widower, the married man or woman whose spouse has grown cold, is ill or who has abandoned them. Being heterosexual, married or single, is no guarantee of joy and fulfillment in the sexual or even the emotional realm. Identifying oneself as "gay" is even less of a guarantee. We are all called to and held to the same standard and it is not easy for any. "The gate is narrow and few there are that enter in." Only God's grace makes it possible for anyone. Take up your cross and folow Him. Believe me, it is the cross you refuse or lay down because you think it is too heavy that is lighter than the one you will have to pick up later. Been there, done that. People are not ganging up on you here. We all face similar temptations if not the same ones and they last a lifetime too. No special standard is being applied to you, just the same one as applied to everyone else, the Biblical standard, not what we wished was the Biblical standard so life would be a little easier.
