homosexual

[sherryh]

As I was thinking about this, this morning, I wonder if because he’s been rejected many times in his life maybe he was giving me an out, so I wouldn’t have to be a friendly neighbor. I don’t know why this homosexual stuff keeps coming for me, as you all know my grandson last summer told me he was homosexual. I have written several years ago a whole journal on homosexuality medically speaking, their is a whole host of medical problem associated with this lifestyle.

I don’t understand why this has to be interjected into conversations constantly by the homosexual community. I went and borrow my neighbor’s saw recently. You know what I didn’t do: say something like this “Hey, can I borrow your saw? By the way, I’m straight.” It seems completely unnecessary to bring up sexual orientation during these conversations. As if my sexual orientation would somehow qualify or disqualify me from being able to use a hand saw. And honestly, my neighbor wouldn’t care anyway.

Most people are so consumed with their own lives they just want to be left alone. Yet the homosexual community wants who you choose to sleep with a constant topic in the forefront. The last thing they believe is leaving people alone. They want total acceptance.

Calling attention to something constantly doesn’t make it right. I guess I’m just tired of hearing about it. And what’s scary is that I am feeling this way and it isn’t even the month of June.

I think for homosexuals it is all about the lifestyle, it seems like they are always recruiting.

200 congregations.... TWO HUNDRED entire congregations.... Just voted to break apart from the United Methodist Church in Alabama over this LGBTQ acceptance stuff.
Apostasy in the church is definitely ramping up.

Recruiting doesn’t make sense if your ideology is based on homosexuality being hereditary. How could you recruit someone if you were born that way? Of course no one can explain to me how a trait that prevents reproduction could be hereditary in the first place.

Based on surveys the percentage of the US population that claims to be gay has nearly doubled in just a few years. How is it possible for anything to increase that dramatically in much less time than one generation if it’s hereditary?

Well we know they DEFINITELY were not born that way.
There is no gay gene (biologically) I'm sure there is a gay guy named Gene.
Like Sherryh said, it is a lifestyle , and it is.
It's hip and trendy to be gay today.
No matter what pseudo science states, homosexuality IS A CHOICE.
This is the truth that frustrates homosexuals .
They don't want to own up to the fact that they are involved in an abominable lifestyle.

Wish you could have seen the 'boy' that waited on me at the store yesterday. Longish hair dyed cherry red...perfect eyebrows...actually he is a very handsome boy.

Very * sweet* if you know what I mean. Probably very popular with his friends.

It made me sad to see this young man
living that lifestyle....so young..

I have a family member engaged in that lifestyle...young, handsome..it's heartbreaking.

Another victim of "hospitality".

There maybe a seed of truth in this however.

If the only love we receive is godless, if only the godless in our lives have show us compassion, sharing, acceptance, is it really hard to fathom that one's sexuality would be adopted from such people?

And when the godly wield a cruel to-do or be damned list, many would reject such, regardless if they are right or wrong in their facts.

Is it a wonder?

May we in our stewardship always have foremost the Grace that was expressed to us. God's Word is Truth and it is painful as it does its life giving surgery.

Yet We need to remember we are patients, and even if we know first aid, we need to administer it with the utmost of humility.

I handle things pretty rough. I’m real upfront. If I get in an uncomfortable situation I speak up pretty quick. I would have said I’m a Christian and I believe it’s a sin. Past that, it’s none of my business. Now what’s the matter with your cat? You want some coffee? Let him see Jesus thru you.

Good one, I'm similar, be honest then show God's love or try to.

Yes, but even the softest approach can be rejected and labeled as hate.

I can say that I had a 2 hour conversation with my homosexual brother-in-law last year. It was all about me being Christian and his anger towards Christians. I shared the Gospel several times and used myself as an example. He said he was upset that everytime he went to church with his mom, members wanted to speak to him about him being gay. Then again, he shared he would bring up having a boyfriend to them.

I think the issue, imo, is that they fear rejection so much that they force it in your face waiting for a reaction. Then they are hurt when the person focuses on the very sin they brought up. Maybe they are hoping for a different response but struggle to get it. That's just my observation.

I've worked with clients who have been so rejected and fear abandonment so much that they push the boundaries to the point where they end up rejected. It's like a self-fulfilling prophecy in the end. Then they leave thinking, "you see, you never loved me", not realizing how they contributed to being rejected.

I wonder if that could be the case with the loud and proud homosexuals. "Look at me and all my perverse ways, but when you tell me I'm going to hell and scold me it confirms you're just hateful."

Idk just my thoughts. Maybe they need a hug and to be told God loves them even despite their sins (emphasis on the sin of unbelief as the one ultimately condemning them and the plurality of how we all commit several sins). Ones that we all have to repent of.

Even though my brother-in-law didn't accept the Gospel, he left saying how he wishes more people on opposing sides could converse and still be respectful. I attribute that to the Holy Spirit for that all of the way. It helps knowing his abuse from his childhood. I just feel sadness for him and his brokeness. My husband is the "normal" one out of all his brothers. The other two were raped. One became homosexual and the other a pedophile. My husband didn't experience that. Yet, they were all abandoned by their fathers and raised by a cold inattentive mother.

My Pastor's wife befriended a homosexual man. She never saw him converted. She visited him at his workplace to see him because he had AIDS. He begged her not to visit because he worked at a sex store but she told him she would go wherever to see him and spend time. Her and my previous pastor visited him that last time and he shortly died of AIDS.

She has a homosexual brother and has a soft spot for the LGBT people. I have noticed they have a lot of anger and pain often from traumatic pasts. It's just tragic. They may hate us and who we represent but I have to remember that they don't know Jesus Christ.
