Agree. We all must make choices daily and sometimes we miss it but go back and ask for forgiveness when we discover we have transgressed.

But for humans to be so decieved and turn to others and impose on them to except their sins is taking away freedom of choice for those who choose to live by God's word.

If the Gay lifestyle promotes freedom than that is a lie as they are imposing on my freedom of choice.

Actually that is true in many segmants of society but most choosing destructive life choices leave others alone.

I have never been pressured to accept other vices I have come accross. Been exposed to just about everything and never had to except what is being offered.

I even have dealt with well meaning Christians who insist being married or having a husband is a must for all Christians. This is just not true.

Excuse the expression but it is ok to be an "old maid" by choice.

Have you ever read about the Desert Fathers? There is a famous one (can't remember his name, google will tell you everything). I read a book about them a few years ago, with a lot of quotes from their writings. They were a fascinating group of mostly hermits and monks, living in the Egyptian desert (IIRC) from about (IIRC) 100AD to 300AD. They were very holy, lived a life of celibacy, poverty and renunciation, and actually meditated and prayed on ropes with knots, like beads or a rosary.

There were some Desert Mothers, too!

A life of chaste singlehood is infinitely better than being married to someone who has no faith in God or tries to derail your relationship with Him.
