How do you know that it is not a choice between being gay and being called to celibacy? What if in God's divine will for your life, you would be tempted by sexual sin, but if overcome, you would be called to ministry? We are all tried and tested before being conformed to God's will for our life.

We know that Paul prayed to be delivered from the thorn in his flesh. He was a Roman citizan and had likely been exposed to many diverse experiences. He was also a Jew, so homosexuality was forbidden. However, what if that thorn was attraction to other men? He never married although it was expected of him as a Jewish man. He was not a young man when called by God. Could he have been gay and from the moment of his conversion suffered still with the attraction, but sacrificed his fleshly desires to follow God's purpose for him?

There is a reason and a purpose for all those who love God. There is a reason we are afflicted and there is a reason that by the grace of God we are able to overcome.

I don't see much of a reason to live, if I cannot be in a relationship...a lonely, dark, depressing life that would be for me, personally. Others might be able to do that, but I don't see why God would even care to do that to me.

I will probably... well, nevermind...

Yes, I have that already. What is your question? God doesn't replace a human relationship, most of us are not created alone, hence why we are supposed to be in fellowship.

Is God calling you to celibacy? please share w/us!

Who knows the mind of God? On the other side of the pain, there may be great joy for you. We are to die for Him if called. There should be no limit to our sacrifice for Him.

celibacy is better than homosexuality. Please explain how God is going to bless something he calls an abomination. I would love to know the answer to that one.

Sexual sin is still a sin. Sex outside the bonds of marriage is still a sin. It doesn't matter what kind of sex.

Even if you are right, the US government does not recognize gay marriages...yet. Are you in the US?

God doesn't ordain that marrige. Therefor, it's not a real marriage unless God says so. And he didn't say so. Still looking for the verse that says Homosexuality isn't sin anymore. I would love to see that one.

You have to prove God forbids those marriages. It isn't a sin anymore, because the purity code violations aren't followed!!
ARe you wearing clothing of mixed fabrics?

Well, the fact that you can't have kids naturally is a good indication.

"I'm still looking for the verse that says it's OK to wear clothing of mixed fabrics".
Well, I never claimed there was one, now did I. You claimed it was real, it was either a lie, or it was true. If you can't prove it wasn't a lie, than guess what me and everyone else is going to think it is. And I don't care to argue with someone that would take it to that extreme anyway.
