Would the german shepard make yhou feel more masculine? Do you own a truck also?

Why is there so much emphases on what makes a man a man by what we perceive by sight ? I am I less of a woman because I can run with the "big dogs" and don't set on the porch and watch?( note I am not calling You MEN dogs) ;)

I thought BAFRIEND was stating that he was wrong for what he did. Who cares what dog we have or what car. It doesn't matter what we look like to others.

Matthew 6:25-34
25
“Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? 26 Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? 27 Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?
28 “So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; 29 and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 30 Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe
31 “Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. 33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. 34is its own trouble.
you, O you of little faith? Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day

Well the way he kept harping on feminine, made it clear he was trying to drive home a thinly veiled message. I got the impression that a macho Dog or large vehicle might be an extension of _____ ahh well you get the point. ;)

I think homosexuality is sin, but the way I've been acting here is wrong. When I read my posts, I notice I was sort of attacking people. Please forgive me. I have been in many arguments lately. I had had so many, I just freaked out. Some one said I was a false prophet even though I did nothing that a prophet would do except get a message from God. I blew up after that and got really defensive. I'm sorry guys if I've offended you. I respect your point of view. I don't want to have bad feelings between anyone here. Sorry guys. I hope you understand, if not, oh well. I acted wrongly and sinfully. This message is mainly geared towards Uberlutheran, brieuse, and everyone else I've acted wrong towards. Sorry.:sigh:

Wow, this is some powerful stuff. Why did it take me so long to find this thread? Nothing is more touching than str8 people, while not accepting homosexuality, reaching out and trying to understand, and not making all about their beliefs/stereotypes. That's great. It really makes all the postings on here worth wild. I'm not out here to change anyone, but to simply share life experiences with others. Those experiences, while some painful, all by those that call themselves Christian. We are all sinners. We all have lots to do. It isn't all about gay people getting acceptance, it goes the other way as well. gay people have to get better at accepting the heterosexual world, and not be so offended everytime someone says something out of ignorance. Comments are made sometimes because people just do not know. Embrace them. Correct them if need be and know they are human like all of us and we all trip over our own words. I love my straight world. They brought me to all of you. I love all my straight family....they give me comfort and made me who I am. I love all my straight friends...it shows true friendship embracing others different than yourself. This is Christ's plan for us. Love my brothers...LOVE!!! Sounds cliche, but it's the base of all the commandments. Luv your brother (and sisters) as I have loved you! It can really be just that easy....and with some hard work! :clap:
