Because I am a newbie I apparently am unable to respond to any of the comments, etc. In fact i have tried to e-mail or private message a moderator and I get an error message telling me I am not allowed. This is OK I understand the rules but sometimes you get comments that are inaccurate for example: In Gay Marriage or Civil Union I stated Reasons often given for being gay and a possible Biblical response: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am a firm believer in the Bible and trust the Holy Spirit to reveal truth to me. In a conversation with a close friend who is gay - he said I have been this way since I was born - (how do I know)- so i discussed the pertinent scriptures with him and said something like - because of sin all of creation is messed up - mutations, diabetes, blindness, etc. - Only the Lord really knows what we may be going through but He is righteous and will always forgive our sin if we repent and ask. I then said, You know what, I think God is more concerned about what we want to do than what we do. We cannot just deny Him to indulge in the things of the flesh. I aslo reminded him that, "Greater is He that is in you (me) than he that is in the world." I was able to have this discussion because we had a relationship based on love and respect not my opinions or his or our own thoughts. I always try to use the Bible as my proof and basically say - don't argue with me, I'm just the messenger. What iif the Bible is true? Debating the WORD, in my opinion, only leads to alienation - I try to show them God's word and leave it up- to the Holy Spirit to reveal to them the truth and to convict them ofther sin.
