No longer do I have stomach or anxiety problems that were due to the anti-gay doctrine still present in many Conservative Christian Churches.
I just got a job yesterday making $40 an/hour, plus a car, and new computer.
My family and friends see a new me...they see a new person, and in a good way...they have said it in a positive way.


Let this be a lesson to all who want to be set free from anti-gay doctrine, you can.
Jesus will heal you and help you.

I really wish people would stop posting dogmatic statements here. :yawn:

Or sharing from their personal lives, especially when their personal lives don't meet the expectations of those who believe (or hope) they should be suffering?

Well: if you won't say it, NewGuy101, I guess I will:

Congratulations, davedjy!
:clap: :clap: :clap:

(A $40/hour job ain't bad, y'know? :D)

This isn't the forum to share about your life thats beside the point that he is trying to bring his life as an example to fight biblical doctrine.

NewGuy101: what else do we HAVE to bring before God except our lives?

Do you think we'll be judged according to the quality of our doctrine or the quality of our lives at the Last Judgment?

Quite frankly, I've seen more real Christianity from davedjy, and more demonstration of the peace of God which passes all understanding from davedjy, and more demonstration of the fruits of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23) than I have from a good many of the legalists whose primary concern seems to be promoting their own righteousness and maintaining "proper doctrine".

The least you could do is congratulate him on his job.

Yeah -- $40/hour kind of boggles the mind, especially since I've worked eight years in the position where I am now just to get to $20/hour.

Thanks guys!

That is just to start, they have to promote to level 3 (the highest), to work on Mac computers, since they know I have lots of experience with Macs! This is incredible! God DOES move with power and victory to overcome!!!!!!!!

What is your point davedjy? Is your point that so called "anti-homosexual" doctrine is harmful to practicing homosexuals? Well, if that's the case then you are right. It is harmful to practicing homosexuals and it should be harmful to them. It should convict them to their very soul and make them sick. It should make them sick of their disgusting behavior. Then maybe they'll change their ways and practice chastity like they should do!

I like your post! :clap: I'm glad that your life changed in such a positive way :) It's sad to see how harmful the anti-homosexual views can be.

And congratulations for getting such a cool job! :clap:

A gay practicing chastity is like a heterosexual practicing chastity. God ordains polygamy in Exodus 21:10, read your Bible about how liberal God is.

"it should be harmful to them."
"make them sick."
"sick of their disgusting behavior."
"they'll change their ways and practice chastity like they should do."

Judging from this post, I don't believe it's the homosexuals who are having problems with the behavior of homosexuals.

Oh, but that's levitical yada yada that doesn't apply today... but that homosexuality stuff... God meant that forever.

What? It doesn't make sense? Well check this out... if I take my black sharpie and color over the verses in leviticus that don't apply today then they no longer exist. Isn't that like awsome.

LOL

OT law no longer applies?

And avoiding sin isn't the same as following his structured design and command in botht the OT and NT.
