I entered college with the the-only-good-gay-is-a-dead-gay attitude.
Though I am not gay, I suffered this attitude because some of my friends were gay. And so I kind of took flack for being gay like they did.(yet it pleased me to let them think what they wanted to think, and remain ignorant)
So I mean, it's just small minded people really, that have this attitude.
I fail to see what message one is trying to achieve. Quite clearly people are gay, so what? And you are also straight Jason, and God says that if you even think an adulteress thought you are in danger.
Can I now make a topic "An argument for being born straight"????
Message one is pathetic, "lying to support there cause" - what cause is that then? Why should they even have to explain to you in the first place? I am angry that Lam has had to explain himself like this when he hasn't done anything wrong.
What man hasn't fornicated in their hearts?
Therefore Jason, what is your excuse for this attitude of almost judging your brother? Are you perfect like Christ? Why then do you set stumblingblocks?

Re: Thanks Mike
Hey - no probs Ned, I apreciate that comment!
It is nice to be reminded that some professing Christians actually act like they are "supposed to" sometimes.
That's the goal I aim for, but might sometimes miss. Tis a tough goal.

Hey, come on now - no thanks needed from you guys. Stop this confusion. If anything Jar - you have been more of an example of this;
If a few more Christians would worry a little more about themselves and not quite as much about everyone else,
Don't think your efforts to humble yourself - haven't been a good lesson to me!

I have and I am guilty of adultery for sure, but I can’t condone my sin.
Nor do I condone mine. But then, why do we "pick" being gay? Is it a special kind of sexual sin? Or are straights sinning according to bible anyway? (I bet most fornicate or have fornicated in this age)
Biblically speaking, being married is the only correct course, and we all know that. But I don't think a certain type of people should be hand picked as an example, when for all we know, they are abstaining monks. So I hope you can see, that since we are all sinful, we can hardly go picking on some certain people, with some silly premise that they are "extra sinful" when for all we know, they could be abstaining moral giants, strong in the spirit,- ignoring the flesh.
