ArchivedEleven questions and excuses.Here is a list of questions I've seen posted on various Christian message boards regarding the homosexual lifestyle. Along with my responses, of course. Remember, just because people criticize your lifestyle, does not mean that they hate you. If you criticized my lifestyle or beliefs, I would not accuse you of hating me. So please, before you accuse someone of hating you, at least take the time to see their point and to think before you type. USE YOUR HEAD, in other words. Now, on to your second point: yes, you are. Maybe not directly, but you are hurting me. Have you ever heard of Sodom? That city had become so corrupt, and was buried so deep in sin, that God destroyed it. Only a handful of people made it out alive, because they had chosen not to partake in the sinful lifestyle of those around them. I don't want our country - our world, in fact - to suffer the same fate. And yes. I'm aware of the fact that homosexuality is not the only sin that's out there. It's only one of many. But I think you understand the point I was trying to make. And if you don't? (Shrug) Oh, well. Life goes on. 4 - "God made me gay." No, He didn't. He did have a part in your creation, but He did not make you gay. To me, that's the equivalent of saying, "God made your cousins deaf and blind." What happened to my cousins was hereditary. And while God did not make them deaf and blind, He has been helping them lead very productive, happy lives. One thing you might ask yourself is: why would God make me gay when He stated, time and time again, that homosexuality is an abomination? 5 - "Why can't you accept me for who I am?" There's a big difference between who you are and what you are. You are, first and foremost, a human being. And I accept and love you because you are my sister/brother. However, I refuse to accept your lifestyle, because by saying that "gay is okay," I would be damning myself. I don't want to spend my afterlife separated from the love of God. I don't want to subject myself to that torture. 6 - "It's only a sin if I have anal sex with my boyfriend." Perhaps the following Scripture will shed some light. That means: no anal sex, no oral sex, no manual sex. No sex at all. And no romantic smoochies, either. Especially when you have morning breath. Okay. I so need to get new material. Even I know that one was lame. 7 - "Why is homosexuality a sin?" The following Scriptures will answer this question nicely. And of course, the obvious: men were not meant to have sex with other men. Just as women were not meant to have sex with women. Take a look at our anatomies. To be blunt, why on earth would Man #1 want to suffer from the uncomfortable sensation that is caused when Man #2 jams his whoo-hoo up Man #1's butt? YEOWCH!! I mean, there's a reason people are terrified of visiting the proctologist's office! 8 - "It is only a sin if I have oral sex with my girlfriend." I believe you should read what I had to say in response to question #6. 9 - "Can I find salvation?" Yes. If you truly believe that your lifestyle is a sin, and if you truly want to be saved, you will be saved. It's not easy. Visit Aineo's website and read his story. I suggest you read the advice he has to offer. I think the advice rings true for everyone who wants to abandon their sinful lifestyles. http://www.aineotheos.org/ One thing you must remember, above all else, is this: trust in God. He is the the Heavenly Father. He created Man. He created you. He loves you, and He will not lead you astray. Trust Him completely. 10 - "You're not perfect. What right do you have to judge me?" You're right. I'm not perfect. I've sinned. I sin at least once every day. That is the nature of Man. We stumble. Sometimes, we fall. But just like a kid who's fallen off of his bike, we get up, we dust ourselves off and we try again. Eventually, we get it right. Secondly, I'm not judging you. I don't know what it's like to be in your shoes. I don't know what it's like to be confused about my sexuality. However, I do know what it's like to be different. Everybody knows what that's like. Every one of us was created to be unique. Some of us were created to be artists. Some of us - myself included - were created to be writers. Not one of us is more special than the other. As the Constitution states: "All men were created equal." Although I'm not presuming to place judgement upon you, I refuse to keep my mouth shut and hold back my opinion. I've found that no matter what a person's opinion is, there's always at least one person who's offended by that opinion. And as a citizen of the United States of America, I am entitled to the right to express myself freely. Just as you oppose my views on homosexuality, I am allowed to oppose your views. I may not respect your opinion, but I do respect your right to have an opinion. Please respect my right to have an opinion as well. 11 - "What will you do if your child announces that he's gay?" I'll explain to him that, although I will never accept his lifestyle, I will continue to love him. He is my son. He's part of me. I could never hate someone who's a part of me. Anyway, I don't think I'll have to worry about that for a very long time. Need to get me a boyfriend first. |
