Chastity for all homosexuals is wrong

Brieuse · Mar 27, 2007

I lived the life of chastity for until I was 31 years old because I believed the entire Bible was inspired by the hand of God.

In December 2005 I had a nervous breakdown. It was my third one.

I had gotten to a point where I was using alcohol to suppress the loneliness in my life. Big time. I used to get drunk almost every night. I was extremely lonely and greatly desired a relationship which I believed I was not allowed to have.

In January 2006, I made a decision that I have never regretted.

God will not allow you to be tempted more than you can bear. I also fail at following God's plan, I also get to choose if I will continue to seek His Will, and His Way for my life.

Does this mean you don't think the entire Bible was inspired by God? If that's the case, how does one figure out which Scriptures to follow and which ones to ignore? The entire message of the Bible crumbles if you start throwing out parts of it.

Hi, maybe you can tell me which part I threw out so I could explain myself better?

You will have a 4th nervous breakdown. You were blessed to have those first three, saving yourself for God, how unfortunate that you will be not so blessed when it is caused by living the gay lifestyle.

So far, in the last year, a huge weight has been taken off my shoulders. That in itself is a wonderful blessing for me.

Why are you wishing another nervous breakdown upon a human being?

Just because someone doesn't fit into your neat little doctrine or something?

This is so sad.

Loneliness may cause a nervous breakdown, it is not caused by chastity - it's caused by remoteness from supportive friends and from God. My guess is that you were hanging out with other homosexuals and the temptation got too great. God is faithful not to tempt us with more than we can bear, but we must be faithful to remove ourselves from temptation, just like Joseph did with Potipher's wife. He is a great lesson to all of us who are choosing to live chastely!

Your sexual preference was put there by God, of course, God allows you to be tempted and happy.

You actually believe that someone was "blessed" to have three nervous breakdowns, and you're wishing a fourth nervous breakdown on someone?

Chastity for all homosexuals is right and all homosexuals should be dedicated to chastity. Have you ever stopped to think that maybe your nervous breakdowns were caused by some other underlying problem such as untreated depression or anxiety?

I was going to ask if you had a history of depression. I had three nervous breakdowns myself (before I came to Christ), and I'm not a homosexual, although I was living a life of chastity at the time. BTW, I'm not *assuming* you had a nervous breakdown for any reason at all- I just wondered if perhaps you (like me) had a history of depression or anxiety.

And no, I would never wish a NB on anybody. They're all shades of awful, aren't they?

Did Jesus say homosexuals should remain celibate?

The closest I came was last summer when (in a two-month period), my father had a stroke and ended up in a rehab hospital; my stepmother died of a sudden heart attack; my step sister had a near-fatal stroke; my stepbrother had his 4th, 5th, and 6th DWIs (which my family decided my partner and I should bail him out since we had bought a house and therefore we had to be flush with money (!) -- and no, we didn't bail him out of jail! ); my uncle and aunt in the same family on my mother's side of the family died within one month of each other; my other uncle was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer; and I picked up a serious staph infection from the rehab hospital (where I was trying to help the other patients in addition to my father).

I didn't get "the full-fledged breakdown" but it was a two months I wouldn't care to go through again any time soon, nor was the six months' emotional recovery from that much fun, either!

"Aside from that, Mrs. Lincoln - how was the play?" That pretty much describes last summer.

No -- and neither did Paul.

(At least if one looks at the original Greek texts.)

I also have read the Bible from top to bottom and there isn't anything in there about having to change your sexual preferences.

Then we're on the same page!

(By the way, have I told you that your posts are really refreshing? Well -- they are! )

I got the impression from your original post that you no longer thought all of the Bible was the inspired Word of God. So, I thought you had come to a conclusion about what Scriptures were not inspired by God. Sorry if I was mistaken.

I have read the Bible as well. Leviticus 18:22, Leviticus 20:13, and Romans 1:26-27 discuss God's view on homosexuality. The Lord refers to it as an "abomination."
