I'm "gay" and married to a woman. I don't have physical sex with other people outside my marriage. I do watch gay porn.

I don't think of myself as any less "pure" "worthy" "christian" "insert spiritualized qualifier", than any average run of the mill straight christian, who is also physically faithful, but watches porn.

When straight people Christian or not, point the finger at whatever disability another Christian has and decides for them if they are Christian or not, based on the disability.... well, that person needs to read their bible more thoroughly. Last I checked, we were all sinners (who deserve DEATH, not just a harsh scolding).

Is PTSD a disability? is the syndrome that effects survivors of childhood sexual abuse a "disability"? Just trying to get clear on terms here.

You are perhaps ignorant about the inner conditions from which homosexual impulses arise. And for that I forgive you. :)

with this logic, as a 'straight' woman, it is ok to lust after other men and desire things I should reserve for my husband alone

and even better, I can watch straight porn to enflame my lust and indulge all the sin I want

seriously dude?

you can do better.....:p

I don't think your sins are worse than any I might commit or have committed to make myself clear

sexual impulses all arise from the same place in every one of us...I don't think your impulses are any more special than the next person who is intent on continuing in sin

this in particular is plain baloney

you do not seem to realize the struggle against sin is real for everyone...Christian or not...the difference is that we ADMIT we have sinned and some of us have far worse struggles then you could begin to realize

God does not hand out excuses and a frame of mind that makes excuses, is not wanting to end the cycle IMO

Does having sex twice a year qualify as bisexual?

The capacity of the human mind to rationalize sin is incredible.

Now committing sin is ok because it's a disability!?

No. Sin is a disgusting monster, that smells so horrific, God can't even be in it's presence.

Someone tells us that they're a bisexual Christian and people think it's okay to be rude to that person? It's not. It's not your place. I'm a food addict and I swear sometimes, you want to knock me too?

I once rationalized a situation to the point of thinking I was an exception.

I was not.

God in His mercy, pulled me out...He gave me a choice through someone, and I picked the hard choice...I left the situation.

I suffer the consequences to this day.

However, God makes good come out of even that!

In fact, He refines us like silver and gold until we come out pure!!! (not saying I am pure yet LOL! well, positionally, which is where God WANTS us to see ourselves )


Behold, I have refined you, but not as silver; I have tested you in the furnace of affliction. Isaiah 48:10

And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the LORD an offering in righteousness. Malachi 3

so that the proof of your faith, being more precious than gold which is perishable, even though tested by fire, may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ; I Peter 1:7

Therefore prepare your minds for action. Be sober-minded. Set your hope fully on the grace to be given you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. I Peter 1:13

Just curious. What makes you a Christian?

Christian:
noun

  • 1. a person who has received Christian baptism or is a believer in Jesus Christ and his teachings.

Ge 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
Ge 5:2 Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.

Not according to the Creator I'm afraid. God only made male and female kinds and determined how they should relate to each other.

For the cause of Christ

This is irrelevant. Physical/sexual attraction is not dependent on gender. Besides, if God embodies both male and female characteristics... and created MAN in his image... then man also has both male and female characteristics.

If being a Christian is dependant on believing in His teachings, then can you really claim to be homosexual and a follower of Jesus Christ? Aside from claiming to be from the God of Abraham, who does not accept homosexuality, He also told us Himself that God made man and woman, and that no one was to separate the two.

Figured Id add scripture to this post here-

19 When Jesus had finished saying these things, he left Galilee and went into the region of Judea to the other side of the Jordan. 2 Large crowds followed him, and he healed them there.
3 Some Pharisees came to him to test him. They asked, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any and every reason?”
4 “Haven’t you read,” he replied, “that at the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female,’ 5 and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’? 6 So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.”

EDIT: Matthew 19

Can you be a sinner and a follower of Christ?
Can a murderer follow Christ?
How about a glutton?
Or one who is profane with their word?

I brought up the term 'bisexual', not 'homosexual'.

Attraction is not action.

I think Luke 6 is a good topic for this thread:

"How can you say to your brother, 'Brother, let me take the speck out of your eye,' when you yourself fail to see the plank in your own eye?"

No, I dont believe you can do any of those and be a Christian. If you do not repent of them, you have not accepted Him.

And bisexuality is an attraction to the same gender, even if it includes the opposite gender as well, therefore it qualifies as homosexuality.

Ever heard of: King David? The Apostle Paul? Jeremiah? Noah?

By your same logic, bisexuality is an attraction to the opposite gender, even if it includes the same gender as well, therefore it qualifies as heterosexuality.

I don't know... I doubt it! Why do you ask?

Depends; depends on approach. There is a wrong way and a right way to call your brother or sister to repent.

Using Paul as an example, we know from his own writings that he was a repentant sinner. Yes, he was guilty of sin, and yes he repented of what he did. Just like all Christians, we must repent of our sins.

And thats completely irrelevant, the issue is is that practicing homosexuality is a sin, it doesnt matter if you also participate in heterosexual relations. And even with that, if you do it outside of marriage, you are in sin. We are given rules to live by. If we repent of sin, He will forgive us, that is written all over the bible. But if we continue in them, and refuse to repent, we will not be saved. That is the message of the bible, the very book that makes up Christianity.

Yes, telling them that God has called for us to repent of our sins is what we must do.
