Love and sex do not have anything to do directly with one another. Sex between two women eg., "lesbian" is entirely a sin. Not judging specifically you in this, but it is almost an oxymoron for someone to claim to be homosexual and a Christian in the same breath. But again, you are absolutely right the bible doesn't restrict us on who we can "love". We are told to love anyone and everyone, even including those that persecute us. But again, that doesn't mean we are to sleep with them.

Crystal,

First As you post in the Religious section, you will get a little more pointed discussion than in the non religious areas. If this is not what you want, you wont get it in the other areas. As a fellow Christian, I felt compelled to reply.



I am sure you will do fine posting on Mingle finding like minded people. And no one is attempting to not accept you. And you are right. As Christians we are to love everyone as God's creation. And I welcome you to this awesome family here at mingle.

But I will put the Christian hat on first for this discussion as you chose to post here.


Our heavenly father calls us to love each other knowing we are all flawed and sinful and no one is without sin. He also calls us to seek to do what is righteous (right) and to grow and learn and seek to be sinless knowing this will only make us less sinful as we mature in our walk with our Father. As we grow and get to know Him more. And we will not truly be sinless until we are with Him. My sins are no less destructive than yours.

He also calls us to hate sin. Hate the sin in ourselves and the sin in others. Not to hate the person or ourselves. Again we are to love the person, and hate the sin. Thats how we come along with another believer in their walk of growth and healing. I am coming along with you as you state you are a believer.

The Lord is also very clear about seeking right relationships and He defines what wholesome thoughts and behavior is and He clearly describes what unnatural relationships are and warns us what happens to us when we chose to continue with those thoughts and behaviors. You and I and the Presbyterian church have no authority to redefine what those things are. Actually its a slap in Gods face. Thats what fills the cup of wrath at our arrogance against our father.

Crystal, we fell out of harmony with God, its us that needs to find harmony with him, not change him to fit what we want. So if being a Christian is truly the higher priority than being a lesbian, then seek Him first. the two ideals are not congruent or compatible. I will suggest to you that you wont find personal harmony or peace trying to make the two ideals fit together. They never will regardless of what church building you walk into.

I hope I have been compassionate on a challenging subject. I truly wish you peace or I wouldn't have posted.

Your brother in Christ.

Have you by any chance read what's been written about Sodom and Gomorrah in the bible? God created Adam and Eve not Adam and Adam or Eve and Eve.... Man to man,woman to woman...is it not abnormality? Loving one's neibhour as oneself does not mean one should be a gay.... God help us......
