ArchivedEleven questions and excuses.And what is the first commandment? “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind, and soul”. How can you accept the Decalogue and then deny the truth of: We find them both in the Jewish law. Since when did Christianity become a smorgasbord of pick this and discard that at the desires of God’s creation? I take it from your screen name you are a psychiatrist, and I discern from your arguments that you and OBQ agree; so are you a member of his church? First I have a difficult time accepting psychology and psychiatry as a science. Homosexuality was removed from the DSM III without any good science to back up the decision. These “disciplines” seem to change with culture and what they can and cannot cure through drugs, electro-shock therapy and other barbaric therapies that cause enormous physical and mental damage. Lets face it psychiatrists and psychologists cannot agree among yourselves what is right or wrong. It is not you I am seeking to gain some ground with, it is those who are seeking real help in overcoming a lifestyle God calls a sin. Homosexuality is not a disease that can be "cured". You are assuming a lot from a little. Since you can determine my state of mind from reading my website and not knowing me as a person what am I angry about? It is easy for someone to analyze words without knowing the person behind the words. You are making my case about psychiatrists and psychologists who refuse to acknowledge that my reality goes against your theories. I live in the real world where people hurt others with words and actions. I am against gay bashing in word or deed since gay bashing does not accomplish anything, especially the will of God. BTW, what sheltered place do I live in?
Where do you come up with 18 years? If you start counting from when I left gay life at age 40 to when I was free of the desires, it was less than a decade. If you count the period from my profession of faith to my leaving gay life it is 30 years (age 10 to age 40). By whose definition yours or the Bibles; a counter-cultures or the one that I found true peace in? There are 4 Scriptures that label homosexuality a sin and a many more that state heterosexuality is God’s design from mankind. So you have 4 that state one truth and many others that state the best alternative. It is a matter of choosing who you trust; God or man. One quote I really like is not from the Bible, it is from Loretta Young, here is it: Why is it the three who stand on the inerrancy of Scripture are the ones who lack anger in their posts? As to BQO and your belief that Romans 1 is the only reference to homosexuality he was not able to show me the truth of that statement. I know what gay theology teaches about “malakos” and “arsenokoites” and debating these words will not change your mind or mine, but to ignore the Old Testament is a bit arrogant don’t you think? Man is born with a sinful nature and praying all day will not change that either, but God did not tell us to change our nature, he told us to trust in Him. You and BQO have put your trust in this world not in God. You have put your trust in the sovereignty of man and demoted God to the role of your servant. What I find interesting and telling about you and BQO is that the people who disagree with you are judging and hating. Have you read his posts? Who was judging whom? Have you studied God’s word or have you accepted the Bible is merely a compilation of myths? If the Bible is not true then Christ was a liar and Christianity is nothing more than a philosophy of life no better than pantheism. You can attempt to obfuscate God’s truth until Christ comes again but you can’t force God to redefine “abomination” no matter how much education you have. And BTW, if you want to discount Paul’s writings be my guest you can show all of what he taught in the Old Testament, even grace. Jesus did add two new concepts to this world, “love your neighbor as yourself” and motivation or thoughts are equal to the action. When Paul praised the Berean’s for “searching the Scriptures to see if what he taught was true”; the only Scriptures available were the Old Testament. You and BQO are simply ignoring this in an attempt to justify as normal for some a lifestyle the OT labels an abomination. When I read and hear Christians state that we are know approaching the sin of Sodom I have to smile since this is so true: The Bible labels homosexual activity, adultery, incest, lying, gossiping, etc. as abominations therefore it is not just homosexuals who are destined for the lake of fire, it is all who deny God’s truth. |
