Especially your body, right?

Hey, we gotta be able to laugh about this, isn't that right?

Seriously, though, I don't quite understand the same-sex attraction. I mean, yes, you can really, really like someone of the same sex, but to have a sexual attraction to them? I don't grasp that concept...

The natural assumption would be that you are somehow "repelled" by men.... what I really don't get is how many lesbians are disgusted with the idea of having sex with a man, but then try to find a woman that is doing her dead-level best to look and act... like a man.....??

What's up with that? When I asked my co-worker (avowed lesbian) that, she thought about it for a minute, and said "I don't know why that is".....

Anyway, while we may or may not agree with/understand God's reasons for saying that practicing homosexuality is wrong, He still tells us that...
I know the bible says homosexuality is wrong.

Your problem is iniquity. Remember this: there are 3 words for sin in the bible. Sin, iniquity and transgression. Iniquity is root, sin and transgression are the fruit. Your iniquity is where your tendencies come from. It's the sinful bent inside you. That's what God wants and commands you to overcome. For me, anger, lust,food, etc... some stealing or covetousness, gossip or critical spirit. Certain things tempt me and certain don't. The same is true with everyone. That's why we need God's word to measure truth. Otherwise I can just say, don't judge me, or that's just the way I am. Stay in my sin and miss out on the fulfilling life that God has planned for me.

You will be able to overcome that after you surrender your life to Christ and He washes you and cleanses you by His Word and the sacrifice of His blood for you.

You don't have to clean up before coming to Him. You just come, bumps, bruises and mixed up thinking and all

I'm doing fine thanks. I have awful pain but with meds determination and yaoi anime I'm good.
Gods love is never done love , He will always be there waiting..... He is better than meds, His strength means you just have to trust, and you will have a good friend to always enjoy your show with...

I want no part of a relationship where I am expected to let someone have control over me, and where if I resist I am wrong in doing so. Sorry.
Ya, well Im married and my husband does not control me,nor I him. We are partners and we are equal. I didn't even say "obey" in my wedding vows. We talk things out,we decide things together. We respect each others opinions and ideas. He tells me that Im the smartest person he knows and he likes to hear my ideas. I feel the same way about him. Marriage can be a wonderful thing.

That's all fine and dandy but you and your husband are the rarity. I'm not a crazy man hating feminist I'm just a"Tell what to do and you die" feminist. Heck I voted for Trump.

the thing is marriage goes beyond a sexual relationship, it a beautiful spiritual union between man and woman that mirrors Christ and the church. thats why believer get soo crazy when its distorted and unbeliever doesn't understand why we get all nutt to them. to each other we both seem crazy, the church is crazy to the world and vice a vesa.

So... out of curiosity, why do you think you are attracted to women, and not men? Any ideas at all, or was it just "always that way" ?

Please don't be defensive, I'm just curious... if you'd rather not answer, no problem.

Lol, you voted for Trump! You're deplorable!! Just like me! I somewhat know where you're coming from. Im a pretty strong person and I never saw myself getting married. But hey,if we're a rarity it means there's still more out there.lol My husband tells me we're like Doug and Carrie from the old sitcom "King of Queens". Im pretty straight forward. I do hope that you will stay close to your Christian friend. You may change your mind.You can still love a person even if you disagree with them and their lifestyle. Id just say have an open mind.God has you in His sights,thats why you have a Christian friend. He wants you to turn to Him. Do some honest research and soul searching before it is too late.

That's correct. No one is entitled to any part of you unless they have your consent. Non consensual sex is rape, whether it be with someone you know or someone you never met in a dark ally. Just because you have a marriage license doesn't mean 'he's entitled to anything he wants'. Context makes a distinctive difference.

Ya, well Im married and my husband does not control me,nor I him. We are partners and we are equal. I didn't even say "obey" in my wedding vows. We talk things out,we decide things together.

See the difference in that OP? The above post is a healthy relationship. Compared to "he's entitled to anything he wants" - those kinds of statements are very dangerous and going to backtrack your spiritual progress even further. A happy, healthy relationship, if it's in God's will, is what you should be aspiring to, look forward to and embrace what the Lord gives you in your path ahead.

Um, the last I checked... all members have an equal right to speak here... unless they're pushing an anti-biblical agenda... like... oh... like the OP of this thread.

So... you have a problem with ME speaking?
: )

Please... give me your opinion on who should be allowed to speak, and who should not.
I think your views on free speech will be FASCINATING.
:)

The same thing could happen if a man were to cheet on me with another woman. Did you think about that? It's no less likely.
And currently I am a virgin.
By currently I assume you mean not practicing or are you saying you are a virgin. If so then you are being tempted and we all are tempted you haven't done anything wrong until you act upon the temptation. It really makes me sad when religion goes straight for the jugular in condemnation rather than trying you show you God's love for you. Until I understood God's love only then did I truly understand salvation. God is not waiting around for you to mess up so He can zap you out of existence He loves you and wants you to love Him back.

Hi Melita.
:)

I think the OP didn't return because the OP never had any intention of engaging to begin with.
Just typical activist trolling stuff.
No big deal.
Very ordinary stuff.

Hope you've been well.
:)
