Not enough sex talk in churches or seminaries, report says

The psychologically healthier approach I think...

Homosexuality is not psychologically healthy to begin with. They want to push their perversion on others as a way to try to justify what their entire lives give testimony to as wrong. They want to silence and demonize all who remind them that their behavior is perverse as a means of drowning out their own consciences. They desperately must make us wrong because if we are right then that means that they are behaving sinfully. When one is being sinful it can be easy for the darkened soul to become full of hate.

Also:
Rom 1:26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:

Rom 1:27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

God loves and will accept us just the way we are, through the atonement of the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ, providing we admit that we are sinners and are willing with His help to change. He does not accept sinners for them to remain as they are. He knows if we are genuine about wanting His pure and perfect will for our lives. If we think that we are coming to Him merely for “fire insurance” without intent of giving our lives over to Him to begin our endeavor to become conformed to the holy image of Christ we are deluding ourselves and remain unregenerate.

Thank you for your comments on this thread.

Very well said!

I attend Mass to worship God and take Communion. On the rare occasions the subject comes up in the homily, we are taught to follow the teachings of the Holy Scripture and what the Church calls “natural law,” that is, what is set by nature, ie male and female. If people are interested in more detailed information, it is made available to them by the Church. But I do not want to sit through unasked-for lectures on sex when I attend Mass.

Did you post this as a joke?

I can pretty well guarantee you that to the MORMONs it's no joke!

I almost fired off a reactionary response to this, but thankfully I read onward to this and am NOW ok with the first!!

 

 

 

Darned good theology!
