I don't know if you're trying to bait me or what not, but I'm not going to fall into this. I'd suggest if you'd want stuff like this not commented on to not stick them on a public forum.
I put it there to be commented on and prove a point. I am not afraid of what i have done in the past nor will I ever be. I take responsibility for my actions. I also believe it happened for a reason and we were put there at that exact time to meet each other. I believe a higher power had a hand in that meeting. It was not just on chance I have met the woman of my dreams. I do not believe it is by chance that I have met someone I feel so comfortable around and someone I feel so in touch with. I do not believe it was by chance that the love we share for each other is so strong and growing stronger by the day. I do not believe it is chance that she has lead me to believe that God does exist and he can make you the happiest person alive. Even if the road to getting there seems to be a bad one. I am not ashamed of what I have done. I feel it was a necessity to get to this stage in my life and it was planned out for me in advance to do what I have done in my life to get to where I am today. God works in mysterious ways.
Oh so every homosexual/bi-sexual, who changed orientation, must have done it because of reticule? They couldn't actually have changed with the help of Christ? Time to dump that pocket sized God you believe in because God can do anything. Also please don't pretend to know me because you have not a clue. I don't harass or reticule gays.
No I do not believe God would change people. Not that he can't, but he wouldn't. He can help you if you ask. He gave man free will to make his own choices, but your sexual preference is not a choice. It can be masked or put into the closet of your mind, but you never change orientation, unless you were bisexual to begin with and liked both men and women. Then you can give the impression of converting, but if you are truly gay and are not attracted to the opposite sex at all then, no I do not think you can really change, but instead deny yourself your true feelings and make yourself miserable trying to live a lie.
You seem to be harassing them here in this thread. Wanting to deny someone the right to be recognized as a family in insurance eyes. Or have the other protections awarded to married couples is shameful.
I never claimed to know you and expressing my views that counter yours. I don't agree with you and explaining why. I do not believe it is right to segregate one group of people based on sexual orientation, yet say it is not alright to segregate because or race. They are both segregation yet one is viewed as ok and one not.
What about tolerance? I think you and your GF are a little out of touch in this thread, and are making one too many assumptions.
Are we? I don't think to. I believe when minds are closed of to other view points then it is not showing tolerance.
God knows your motives and your heart. If you are purposefully doing something to intoxicate yourself, then gee golly you might actually become intoxicated. Having a glass of wine is not a sin.
He also knows when your sleeping and knows when your awake.
So your saying when you get buzzed on a glass of wine but were not intending to get intoxicated its ok? BTW if you believe Jesus turned water into wine just enough for people to have one glass with dinner your mistaken. Wasn't the wine plentiful? It stands to reason there were a few drunken people there then. Oh BTW smoking marijuana is not a sin either.
I forget the verse number, but I know the verse by heart. "I have given you all the seed baring plants and herbs to use."
Ohhhhhh shoot. Gluttony is a sin too yet the church is not jumping all over fat peoples backs? If they did it might actually save some lives in the process.
