I still hold to what I said, anyone struggling with sexual sins should use precautions in who they counsel with. Most pastors will not counsel alone with a woman, period, unless the door is open and a secretary nearby, etc. Homosexuality is not so different.

I totally agree with what you just wrote. I wasn't getting that from your earlier posts and if I read too much into what you were trying to relay, I apologize. At the time, I was busy receiving several PMs and switching back and forth between this thread and those PMs.
Your statement about being creeped out about people struggling with sexual sin could be damaging to someone lurking that may be looking for some compassion if there were caught in the grips of one of those sins.
Also, I don't even see myself as a sexual being. I couldn't make the connection of a heterosexual male minister counseling a adulterous woman with me counseling someone struggling with homosexuality. It may be hard for some to understand that I'm what many would consider asexual. I don't have any desires or thoughts of sex at all.
I tend to be somewhat sensitive to that type of language, because it does make it personal not to me at this stage of my life, but to others. Can you you understand?
