Re: Gay Children
bbyrd, I must tell you...
Everytime I open a post from you it's like walking into a curiosity shop! It's interesting to be sure, but I'm often left to wonder what I'm looking at... Between the parsing and scattered quips there are treasures many, no doubt.
Not saying anything should change. Au contraire, it's fascinating in more ways than one, and I wanted you to know!

Nutty, the very attitude that pushes a "Jacob" away!!
The Deacon Blues has some great stuff on the subject, right on!!!
We live in a broken world, it is how we respond to it, of which our works will be judged. One of my best friend's son recently, completely out of the blue, came out. I can tell you your attutide becomes much more objective when it is someone you love.
Why is it that we almost universially consider "same sex sins" worst than most other sin? Why are "crooked straight's sins" considered more natural???
Our pastor has mentored seven "gays" over the last twenty years, five of which he has performed their weddings, and all these five are still married to the same ladies and have children. Two are still in "church" and living celibate lives, and loving Jesus. Pastor Jim has written a book of this journey, and with input from these men, called, "Lepers Among Us". The title was chosen by the seven, explaining how they were treated by the culture and also by many in the church. This whole subject is about the church, as much as it is about the victims of this particular sin.

Sometimes people try to beat the gay out of their kids and it only causes resentment and distance. If my kids were gay, I would not be happy about it but I would hope that I would not burn the bridge between us.

Yup. I hear a reflection in the way child molesters are treated by
murderers and rapists in prison; and see a reflection in the way
my dog helps me scold the cat.
(ah; here, at least, is something I am superior to)
this is so their premises can be revealed.

Rare to find someone who respects their own pov; ty, Hoovie.
Sorry I can mostly only reflect a "curious" pov about the mundane,
at this point...
