I understand that the attraction thing may be somewhat uncontrolable...but living that lifestyle is indeed a choice.

Searching for love and companionship is in fact a choice. It's not always about lust.

Welcome to CF!

As you will no doubt noticed, there are people here with a wide range of beliefs. Honestly, I would say most folks, at least down here in the open forums, have no issue with homosexuals. There are of course people here that are far too concerned with how others live their life, and like to be judgemental about such, but thats the bauty of an open(for the most part) discussion forum, you get OPINIONS of all types.

Just keep in mind that what people say is exactly that, opinion. Though I do not share your faith, I wil echo the sentiment of some here that do, how you live your life is no concern of anyone else as long as your life does not harm others. Your life is between you and your god, and as long as you feel no negative vibes there, do not worry about what others think or say.

Only when one reacts to negative tough or speech, do such actions affect you. Difficult at times to be sure, just ask any Atheist living in America, particularly those of us down here in the South.

But you should never destroy your lusts, that only represses your id to a breaking point!

Could you tell a pedophile to do the same?

 

[Chrysalis Kat]

Could you tell a pedophile to do the same?

I could. I would tell that to a glutton too.

I would much rather that people understand why they have the desires they do and come to terms with it appropriately rather than getting so freaked out that they develop maladaptive behaviors.

Could you tell a pedophile to do the same?

Well there are perfectly legal and healthy way's for a pedophile to deal with his lust that dont involve harming others. For example Lolicon or non nude pictures of children or even by reading erotic stories involving pre teens.

Welcome!! There are many of us on this site that have absolutely no issues with a persons sexuality. Thankfully I live in a country that believes in equal marriage!!! And I also wonder, why do so many people waste their time worrying about what others do in the privacy of their homes, between 2 consenting adults? Does that not show their own obsession about sexuality? Or fears of their own sexuality perhaps?

Could you tell a pedophile to do the same?

Definition time:

Paedophile - A person who is attracted to pre-pubescent children.

Homosexual - A person who is attracted to a person of the same sex.

See?

well, if nothing else, archie, you are predictable!!! always have the pedophile card at the ready when you are talking about the completely unrelated phenomenon of a victimless activity. i am reminded of a hymn:


sung to the tune of "let the circle be unbroken"

let your record, be unbroken,
play it over and over again.
let your record, be unbroken
and we will know how all your posts will begin.

when we talk of, two men sharing
a love that you think they should have to hide,
then you see them abusing children,
perhaps it's not them that keep this hidden deep inside.

Ok first of all yes i am gay, but what you all don't seem to understand is being gay is not a choice i was never attracted to girls even in primary school but my feelings for men started when i was 12, i did not choose to be gay it just happend i can't help it.

You think i would go through all the heartache of homophobia, My parents won't speak to me. people think gay people are people who act like girls well they are not (well not me anyway) i am just a normal guy who likes Guys

I know none off you will agree with me and you will think i should be dead and that i should be prayed for

I am just making my point

Welcome to CF. No true christian would condemn you...they may disagree with your behavior and pray that you will one day see past your carnal nature to see your Godly one. You are a child of God...That no one can take away from you...but just as there are christians that cheat on their wives, steal, lie, cheat, murder...their behavior is wrong... their choice of action..the wrong one. We love you...we don't agree with some of your choices...even the one's you make when your 12. The only part of you that should ever die is your sinful nature once you have accepted Jesus as the lord of your life.

Oh please, do you remember making the choice at puberty of whether or not you were attracted to men or women?

Very well said, brother!



To Simplelifenice,

the truth is that there is no sin in having a homosexual orientation, but God only allows Christians to have sex in marriage, and He's only created heterosexual marriage. Those of us with the sexual brokenness of same sex attraction are called by Him to repent from homosexual sex, and to live a godly life of sexual purity for His glory.

There are unrepentant homosexuals on here who will tell you that God wants you to have homosexual sex. They are disregarding the New Testament of our Lord and Savior Jesus the Christ. Please read it and ask God to reveal His truth to you.

I know what the bible says. I can offer you no advice. However, I would stay in the word everyday and seek Gods Guidance for all of us have sinned and fall short of the Glory of God. Not one of us is righteous, no not one. So do not listen to others. Pray and seek Gods face and Listen to him, because his word is all that matters and no one else's.

I am one of those people who believe that 'love' is caring about what happens to someone, that they are safe, comfortable and happy. It means I don't want you to get hurt or be sad.

It doesn't mean that I want you to change who you are because I see it as wrong (I don't) and I need to guide you on a path that is less hellbound (I don't believe you are on a hellbound path by being gay).

The point being, you will always get love from me-what I consider to be love and caring. Never any hurtful comments. Those who say hurtful things, well that's their defficiency, not yours. They're easily ignored (I say that, but it upsets me all the time too). Be happy, there are many people who will truly love and care about you.

I would add that I think we should let Jesus speak for Jesus, and not the people who lived after him. And he didn't say anything about you being a homosexual one way or the other.

As Christians, we use the whole New Testament for our instruction, not just the Gospels. I'm sure the doctrine of the Anglican church agrees.

Actually I think that pretty much describes that statement.

 

[Jacob4Jesus]

You as a Christian, maybe, but don't speak for all Christians. As far as the Anglican Church goes, it really seems to depend on where you go. Besides, I go to church for the community. I don't let anything any church or any fallible human being will say supercede what Jesus said.
