I have very good neighbors next door that are a lesbian couple. My prayer is for their enlightenment through Christ. I cannot judge them for sexual sin, as I have had sexual sin in my life, and I cannot condone their lifestyle.(same as I cannot condone the lifestyle of a heterosexual couple living together outside of marriage) But I can still love them and pray for them.

Thank you for posting this.

[Mr. Mulliner]

Good for you. They do need enlightenment and they're not going to be argued into enlightenment. Only Christ can reveal the truth to them and help them see the lies that have held them captive.

Incidentally, until December I had a boss who was a lesbian. I know that she attended Wheaton College, a conservative Christian college, so it seems a little incongruous. When I asked her how she ended up there, she kind of laughed it off and said it was a "long story." I really wonder.

Most lesbians I knew in college were converted by meeting a handsome and prosperous Ivy alum. But hey, if Jesus wants to get in the game, too, that's cool with me.

Hey, once you become an expert in "sexual" or any other sin, you most certainly can criticize others for such indulgence.

For one thing you recognize it. You also understand the consequences. Failure to witness, even if it were to be perceived as mere judgment, would be yet another category of sin.

If homosexuality were a genetic trait like skin color, no amount of "intervention" could have saved her from lesbianism.

Of course, the cynics would probably say she was never "truly" a lesbian.

That's probably exactly what they'll say. She will be extremely hated in Austin and Houston.

Oh, I do witness, trust me, and they love me for my candor.

When the mother of one of them passed away, her girlfriend asked me to call and pray with her.(the one who lost her Mom)

After praying with her on the phone, she asked an interesting question; Why will the church, and God, not accept our relaionship? Is love wrong?

I had prayed myself with the Lord before calling, wanting to be His servant, not the prejudiced, intollerant, very human rightwinger that is me.

The answer rolled off my tongue without me thinking;
"It is not your love that the Lord and the church have a problem with, it's only your sexual relationship."

This was met by silence for about 30 seconds, then she thanked me for calling and "being there" for her.

This was two years ago, and we are still close friends. My wife and I pray for them, my church prays for them. They even attend our church dramas when our son appears in them. They come to our church festivals to hear my Christian country band, and one of them came to church one Sunday with us. My pastor did not know she would be there, and at the time did not know she was a lesbian, so it was not planned that he had about a five minute section in that day's sermon dennouncing homosexuality.(not that he would hold back or lay it on thicker because of her presence)

I'm going to keep being friends with them, answer their questions when they ask them, and keep praying for them.
I love them.

That was my first reaction too. The only time the Statesman portrays religion in a good light is when they get some heretic to tell us that sin (abortion and homosexuality, mostly) is actually good and that God approves.

How did they let this bit of liberal apostasy slip through?

[scripter]

Good news for once on this issue. Thanks for the ping.

This is a nice concidence - today I got a phone call from an acquaintance I haven't seen for a long time. For some reason she told me the story of a man she and her husband got to know who, in the last couple of years, overcame his homosexuality as well as alcohol and drug abuse through a relationship with God. My friend has small meditation and prayer meetings at her house, and this man started attending, and he underwent a complete change of heart and life.

God works wonders!

Britton traced her lesbianism to an alcoholic, physically abusive father. She remembered witnessing her mother being beaten and the words she silently screamed inside.

"I will never, ever let a man treat me like that," Britton recalled thinking. "If that's what a man was all about, why would I want to be with one?"

I'm sure this is the main cause of why many lesbians had turned to lesbianism in the first place.

[Clint N. Suhks]

The lies, Britton said, were the notions that she was born gay and couldn't change.

The APA believes in “notions” instead of science, it’s NOT unusual that their “big lie” has taken root in place of truth. God helps those who help themselves.

[L.N. Smithee]

As those on the ping list know, the gay activists use as a strategy intimidating mainstream media outlets into telling only their side of the story. It looks like the tables have turned.

It will be interesting to see how shrill the response to this article will be.

If homosexuality were a genetic trait like skin color, no amount of "intervention" could have saved her from lesbianism. Of course, the cynics would probably say she was never "truly" a lesbian.

What is to be a "lesbian"? It is a label applied to a woman addicted to mutual masturbation with another woman. Sinful? - yes, special? - not really. It is possible to be freed from sinful addiction.

I saw a vanity license plate a couple of days ago here in MI. It said LSBNLVR. I gasped, my husband didn't understand why. I didn't tell him. I still hope my first reaction was wrong.

This is a wonderful story with that undeniable ring of truth. Praise The Lord!

With God all things are possible!
