I think it's sad, that you are picking apart what I say and making into something mean. I think it is you who is trying to make homosexuality something different from other sins because I have lumped it into the category of all sexual sins and said they should all be treated in the same way. You seem to want a special category where an adulterous woman does not counsel with a pastor alone, but homosexuals do counsel each other alone. I gave some good advice. You are right. This conversation should end. You are turning it into something that never was.

You assumed that I have weakness regarding homosexuality. I don't know how you came to that conclusion for only God can see my heart and know where my weaknesses are today. You mentioned a couple of your struggles with sin, so let me ask you if you consider them weaknesses today. I found that the Holy Ghost has empowered me to not have to fear what I've been set free from, namely homosexuality. I would never put myself in a situation if I didn't feel that God would go before me.
You mentioned that I want a special catagory for a woman struggling with adultery to not counsel with a man but a homosexual couseling another alone? I never said anything like that at all. Go back and the posts. What I'm hearing is that you are making false assumptions/accusations that many people throw out because of their lack of knowledge. I never turned anything that was written her around to be mean....I was just repeating what you were writing.
You assumed that because I WAS a homosexual that I couldn't counsel someone seeking deliverance from homosexuality for fear that I would be tempted. That is a very presumptous opinion. Let me explain that even when I was a homosexual, I wasn't tempted to give into any sexual desires with every man that crossed my path.
I would agree that a sister "struggling" with adultery shouldn't counsel with a man because she was still struggling with that sin. Now, if that sister were to be delivered and restored in God's sight, there shouldn't be any problem with her counseling with a man of God. Agreed?
