If you were told that you could never even entertain the notion of a romantic relationship of any kind, while others were free to seek out those relationships, you don’t think that would be an isolating and lonely place to be? You don’t think that would be more difficult?
You bet that would be a hard place to be. Are you saying the church should not classify homosexual relationships as a sin because of this? I am still confused on the extra burden you spoke about.
All true. It’s a difficult situation. Now what?
I’ve encountered your point before but it was with someone who was trying to use same-sex feelings to support the view that God approves of homosexuality. I objected with the point that what’s natural doesn’t mean that an all-good God caused it otherwise all innate conditions like genetic abnormalities would have to be called good as well. God could’ve also made it naturally possible for homosexuals to have kids with the person that they love rather than having to resort to a 3rd party. God nor nature has allowed this.
I very much agree with this
I agree with you that “God’s truth is God’s truth” I understand SSA is real a temptation and SS behavior a sin.
I can understand your desire to speak about this topic again, but this is kind of distracting from the current topic of the this forum post. If you would like to talk about your concerns, it would be best better served as a new post. Thanks. Have a good day and God bless.
Thank you for your concern your view on what “gay humans” are is still not clear to me. I dojjr9 - I realize that you are somewhat OCD concerning this issue as indicated by your many posts. If you really believe that gay people are not gay, then you have no problem because you made it magically disappear in your beliefs concerning mankind. I’m happy that in the real world of 2016, the majority of adults who are educated would just laugh off your assumption. When you grow up and have children, what exactly would you do if one of your own offspring was born LGBTQ? Would you tell them that they are wrong, that they really are attracted to women and not men? I think my nephew who is a psychiatrist would love to pick your brain concerning this issue, but then of course, he’s invisible since he’s gay, as is his partner of 19 years who is also a physician.
If he discovers it at birth, I imagine he will publish a paper and become quite famous!
“Gay” is a colloquial word meaning the person experiences SSA. It tends to be non-specific as to whether it implies any embracing of that experience or not.
What is “it” in this statement? People being together? People loving each other? Or people of the same sex having a sexual relationship? The latter is rather distinct from the former two.
That comment wasn’t meant for the OP, it was for another poster who commented to me. However, you are correct that homosexual couples have probably wanted to “be together” for many centuries, but our secular society has started glorifying that movement in the recent decades.
Glorifying? Really? Which secular society has been doing this? I’d certainly like to learn more about such a society. I’ve seen some signs of ‘acceptance’ and even ‘equality’ in various societies around the world, but I seem to have missed the glorifying.
I think the person meant encouraging people to come out and be proud of their sexuality. I don’t think anyone is encouraging people to “turn” gay, if that’s what you are thinking
Yes. Gay Pride parades, legalizing same sex “marriage,” the secular media’s increasing portrayal that same sex relationships are moral are signs that our society is promoting (and in the case of gay pride parades and media) glorifying the sin of engaging in same sex relationships.
Yes.
No, that wasn’t what I was thinking. I simply don’t recognise what has been happening in the many societies that have outlawed anti-LGBT discrimination and legalised same-sex relationships as a ‘glorification’ of a gay lifestyle. The word is inaccurate.
Simple Definition of glorify
