What’s a 24 watch party..? What are snapz skillz..?
A “serious Christian” is not going to be a homosexual unless they are celibate and repetent about it
Thank God his college friend knew how to respond in a loving and healing way to his confession.
We all struggle with one call to the wild or other. We are blessed if it is not addictive mind altering, soul distroying substance abuse, criminality or sexual obsessions and addictions. That is a hard row to hoe.
That’s an infected row to NOT hoe.
I knew a number of gay men in college. One was grad student who rented a big house off campus, from which some friends and I sub-rented rooms.
“Dave” was a bright guy, funny and didn’t really “act gay.” We would occasionally meet his “boyfriends” though. Its where I started to get the idea that homosexuality is inextricably linked with mental disease. These “boyfriends” were almost to a one quite troubled - addictions of all kinds, unstable family backgrounds, flighty, nervous, sometimes suicidal, and even often victims of violence (from other gays).
I felt sorry for most of them, as they all seemed to be fighting some very strong demons.
Marvelous. /s
A 24 watch party I’m familiar with. Its getting together with friends to watch Keifer Sutherland kill terrorists. Snaps skills? Haha, you got me there!
As I read the article, that’s the decision the gay guy made. He couldn’t help his inclination, but he decided to resist them and center his life on Christ.
>>> voices from within the Church encouraging him to embrace his inclination to homosexuality.>>>
In the 1930’s the Church was invaded by Communists pretending to be Catholic in order to enter the seminaries. In the years since, they’ve become priests, pastors, bishops. Their stealth and lying went unknown until the law suits began. Pray for your church, whichever Christian religion it is. Report them to whatever authority is above them.
That’s what I got out of it too. I believe homosexuality is a form of sexual addiction, it’s not unlike other addictions. It doesn’t need to rule you either. He’s finding power through Christ to live a life on a better foundation. I hope he gets a wife, has kids, grand-kids - all to enjoy and support him as he gets old...all while avoiding the very real health implications of being in the gay community.
The mistake our society is making is telling people that if they think, at a young age, they have some “same sex inclinations” that they should embrace them, engage in and celebrate. It doesn’t mean though that a young person can’t be influenced by culture to be less likely to adopt a certain orientation (naturally, not intimidation) - I don’t believe it is fixed at birth, just influenced by many factors. In our pop-culture, good luck - the message is clear, go for it (for all things “sex”). You can only ignore the consequences of sexual immorality to be okay with it. Even when the consequences happen, the connection isn’t made either (blame others).
An article on the subject:
How Support for Abortion Became Kennedy Dogma [and the priests who encouraged this heresy]
...most of the ones I’ve known are the most insecure and emotionally immature people I’ve ever met. I can understand the insecurity, it’s more of the emotional maturity that seems to be more of the issue.
So...yes, many demons, I also feel sorry for them. Many never knew much of a normal life and have embraced a lifestyle that will never give them one either :( ...it will only bring them pain. Nobody likes to talk about the negatives of being gay, there’s so many (health, no kids, etc.)...how can that lead to happiness?
True. But it sounds like this guy decided to be celibate.
I believe “snaps” means photography.
This is a very touching post.
Revealing.
