The thread was about divided believers, not homosexuality per se. I don't really know what else to say to you. It is difficult to share with you genuinely. You tell me what I " fully understand", what "I know" to be true and how "I am deceiving myself". Can you judge me better than God? Do you know the genuineness of my intentions and motivations? I,m simply sharing my ideas, thoughts and contemplations......I claim no divine sanction for them. It is for others to decide how useful they find them and for God to judge my soul. Peace x[/QUOTE]
that is what it was suppose to be about, but it was you who put homosexuality in the forefront, not me, or any others here. Just saying.
I find it difficult to take you serious when you have ignored the comments of those here who have tried to sympathize with you and help you, and continued to try to rationalize your beliefs about gays being acceptable to God and the Church. Even going as far as putting forth this person who wrote a Book in an attempt to do the same thing. Having read some Reviews, it's clear he had an agenda, and in my opinion, that agenda is yours as well.
As for judging, again, you need to study the Scriptures. On one hand you denounce the Scriptures as NOT being the Word of God, and, when it suits you, you refer to them. Can't have it both ways. I am sincere in my concern for you, if I were not, I wouldn't bother even communicating with you. But you have been far less than honest with the people here, and that is not the fruit of a good heart is it?
Christ told us we would know a tree by it's fruits/a man by his works...that is Biblical judgement, and Christ instructed us to do it. Your "works" here are your words, and that is what I am speaking of. As well, being quite experienced in dealing with troubled souls (Veterans), I am quite sure you are well aware that Scripture speaks directly against the homosexual lifestyle.
Why don't you start by being hones with the folks here? There are many here who would jump at the chance to counsel you, and help you through a spiritual crisis, if that is really what this is about. As for me, I began that way, but the Old Soldier in me, and my experience with those who practice deception to advance their agenda began to sound the alarms.
And, having read comments of yours on other Threads, I began to see a pattern quite familiar to me. Sorry, I can not accept your proposal that you are being sincere. Some will be upset with me for this, but, in the long run, the Truth will out! It always does.
Go in peace
