Of many of the Private Messages I receive daily (and I kid you not, I get MANY esp. from lurkers), I have found 8/10 times or so, the person trying to convert me is gay or lesbian themself.

Accepting YOUR OWN sexuality can be difficult. The facts do not lie...450 Vertebrate species are born gay, lesbian, bi and transgender. You cannot change your sexual orientation, it is genetic at birth.

The Founders of the biggest EX-Gay ministries such as
Exodus International have all admitted that it does not work, and they are condemned by nearly every single mental health foundation in America.


Do not be deceived by false doctrine, when the truth is right out there:

Coming out of the closet was the most difficult, but yet best decisions I have ever made in my life. I have never been happier.

...probably healed davedjy so that he could accept himself and his sexual orientation, and realize that he was still beloved by God and accepted as one of Christ's own.

I'm much more interested in my spirituality, and God is a much higher life form than invertebrates and such.

Now these mental health organizations and such -- do any of them state that humans have a soul? Does even one of them say that?

I mean geez, being a christian and all, shouldn't that matter?

You see, everybody wants to do it without Jesus.

Luke 9:23 - And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.

What you're saying is the exact opposite of what Christ instructed...but that's to be expected if your argument is to defend homosexuality.

So exactly did you figure out that people trying to convert you are gays in denial? I don't get how anyone can come to that conclusion.

:sigh:

So basically you want to spam us over and over with someone else's garbage because you can't speak for yourself?
I compiled it myself.

You have yet to disprove any of it. Your posts do not contribute to one side or the other. Technically YOU are spamming by questioning my posts without taking a side with scholarly backings, Miss.

Scholarly? You compile links - you did not write any of it. When you write your own thoughts down I will discuss it with you.

I cite my postings. You do not use a Scholar to back your findings. I write my own thoughts all the time, but I also post lots of times a day, and I get LOTS of private messages. I also have a life outside this forum.

I am sorry I don't appeal to human authority. God's words are enough for me.

Therefore no matter what happens, you should say: There is God's Word. This is my rock and anchor. On it I rely, and it remains. Where it remains, I, too, remain; where it goes, I, too, go. The Word must stand, for God cannot lie; and heaven and earth must go to ruins before the most insignificant letter or tittle of His Word remains unfulfilled.7
