Thank you for your reply and your compassionate honesty. However, and THIS IS NOT AN INSULT TO YOU IN ANY WAY< don't you think it's easy to say "They should remain celibate" when it's not *you* we ae talking about?
I think it's unjust to believe that God would create a whole bunch of ppl with a sin so powerful that they must deny their sexuality altogether. Isn't it easier to assume that the verses dealing with homosexuality are just the prejudice of those times and that God calls us to something better in THIS time period?
I've shared before that my best friend is gay and so this is a topic very close to my heart. The condemnation of who he is is the reason he walked away from Xianity as is now an athiest. I think its sad that he has to hold so much anger in his heart because he feels cheated and harassed by God. I don't think that God is that way. I think that, if he is righteous and just, he cannot be.
