Yes, I did say I am seeking absolution, but not by talking about sin as if I have ever allowed it a place to captivate my common sense.

The passage uses the word "h*mosexuality* which is not anything I teach others to practice. But I have been captivated by repressed feelings that I'm not capable of entertaining.

Were that the reason I could not be a part of confession and absolution, my conscience would be dead and I like a wild donkey sniffing at the wind. May it never be.

The intimacy of fellowship is damaged by that kind of talk and mainly I need to understand that Paul is not saying the failure to be married is spiritual death. Instead I am concerned that my deeds have not all been that generous.
I said a prayer for you that the Lord would give you the wisdom you seek.

Ninety-nine percent of the time I fully encourage people to be more poetic in their writing and speaking... however, I think you would agree, in serious situations if the speaker/writer starts engaging in poetic language the listener will naturally become dubious about the speakers seriousness, as I have.

Speaking for myself, if you're seeking any serious reactions, insights, etc. I think it'd be more beneficial if you're more direct and explicit rather than poetically nebulous.
