Sorry

[bannaboat101]

Well Two Days ago I put up a thread telling people what I was sick and tired Of and I got kinda rude talking about it so I just wanted to say sorry and one person asked me why I believed what I did do I will share it here.

First I'm a gay christian teen. I understand that God says men who practice homosexuality are sinning and that is an abomination.

So my definition of Homosexuality is having sex with the same sex.

And my definition of Gay is being Attracted to the same sex.

So I feel that I'm gay because I'm attracted to a guy and I can have a relationship out of love not Lust.

True love is described in the Bible in 1 Cor. 13:4-8 and Love DOESN'T DELIGHT IN EVIL and I agree with that and having sex with my partner ideed is evil and we just love.

However since me and him are in love I feel that we can have a time that we come as lovers and get it done but it is more of a major sin when we make it a everyday part of life and lust instead of two lovers getting together.

So when I said it was nobodies business On how I believe was a little rude and If you disagree I will listen to you so Post away

Good for you for having a good head on your shoulders and giving your situation some thought and consideration. Not everybody agree, but at least you took some time out to review, assess, and articulate yourself in a meaningful way. Your parents are lucky to have such an articulate son at 16.

Thank You

As a former evangelical - or evangelical, it changes from day to day - I think God would want you to have the right to have a sexual partner. But you must do what you think is morally right. i grant, though, that such a relationship should be taken really seriously, unlike how the secular world or liberal Christianity portrays relationships (by such a relationship, I mean dating in general. i'm not referring specifically to homosexuals.).

Bro, we talked about this last week.

I see there is a conflict between your conviction that gay sex is sin, but that you are sexually active with your boyfriend.

I'll say what I said then:

1) I think it would be best if you were not sexually active until you are older and work through the issue of your sexuallity and your faith.

2) If you choose, as you evidently have, to be sexually active, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't have anal intercourse without a condom. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't take the risk of getting HIV/AIDS. A lot of young guys think that HIV/AIDS was a problem for the last generation, and that it isn't out there anymore the way it used to be. I live in New York City in a gay neighborhood, and let me tell you it's still out there!

Please be careful and practice safe-sex.

I'm not going to bring in the topic of you being homosexual, since you are already aware of the Biblical stance on this. However, having sex with a partner, regardless of thier sex, outside of marriage is a sin in and of itself. But, to each his own. We are all held accountable to the Lord for our actions.

If you love him and you believe it would be sinful to have sex with him, shouldn't you show your love by not having sex with him and thus staying out of sin?

 

[Moros]

You're 16. They're called hormones. It's called puberty. Sexuality can not be cemented until the reproductive system is. Biology takes precident over everything.

If I was you, I would be more concerned about reconciling being gay and Republican than gay and Christian.

Anyhow, that's just me and my smart aleck sense of humor. Don't everyone jump on me, but it was not serious.

In and out of itself, you apologized on a MESSAGE BOARD! I never see that happen. Good for you It takes a bg man to do that. You'll work out your issues. If there's one pairing that can NEVER be seperated its teenagers and issues. You'll be fine and give yourself a while to find out what you want.

Blessing.

So are gays allowed to be with other men but just not have sex?

If you're Christian read your Bible, if not why do you care what I think?

 

[Arnold_Philips]

If you're Christian read your Bible, if not why do you care what I think?

Because I'm curious? Do I really needa reason? Why so defensive?

Okay, I'm game. A guy having homosexual inclinations living with a guy you find attractive is as wise as being a heterosexual guy living with a woman you find attractive whom you are not married to. Both invite strong temptation to sin and would be foolish to do.

That didn't address my question. You seemed to imply that it was okay to be involved with another of the same sex as long as there wasn't any actual penetration going on.

I imply nothing and people who say I do are often trying to see something that isn't there. Sure its okay for men to be friends and not have sex. This is common friendship among men. Men who treat other men or allow other men to treat them like women are in error according to Christianity as the Bible presents it. Maybe Muslims, Jews or whatever other religion sees it differently. I don't know about them.

Um, yeah.. that's why I was asking you to clarify.

This is still muddy. So the real crux of the matter is whether or not men treat one another like women (and presumbaly vice versa for females)? Can you elucidate?

 

[lladybugg]

penetration or not, sex is the feelings, the endorphins, the connection.

 

[Arnold_Philips]

penetration or not, sex is the feelings, the endorphins, the connection.

So then it is a sin to just be gay, since the thoughts are equivalent to the actions?

 

[lladybugg]

in MY opinion, yes.

however im not going to force that on you - you've got a right to live in sin.

 

[wblastyn]

in MY opinion, yes.

Are you implying homosexuality (the feeling) is a choice?
