Glad, you shared that Robert, it is true, Jesus was trying to show people what God was like and so develop a faith and trust in Him via himself, the people of old just believed by faith (pre law) but then religiousity got a hold of them (after law)”written code” and they put their faith in IT instead of God. Jesus I guess you could say then I guess re-birthed faith but all part of Gods plan thru him, would this be on the right lines?


I have faith in God, that I always had even as a young child of 5, I loved him but the only example of the character of God we have is Jesus and if I cant embrace that………when I was in rehab recently(brain & spinal unit) I know I couldve led a moslim woman to Jesus and so by this faith in our God and Father but not because of what I said, I said not a word about my faith, the way I helped her and treated her and understood her regardless of her brain injuries caught her attention but her husband was the block but he admitted himself that he wasnt zealous about his faith so over time who knows?, he entrusted me with his wife and shared his struggle in Australia, only later did he know I was a christian and the ground we both stood on was at least our faith in God to help us. He was so happy because he said I helped bring a happy spark back into his wifes eyes, no one gave her any attention to try to communicate it was quite the challenge, I even helped an old bloke (whose wife had gone deaf) learn that homosexuals arent pedophiles, his opinion completely turned around……if we dont seize opportunities, how is the truth ever going to get out there about God or so many other things (it takes time to get the courage and wisdom for this I know, I still stuff 🙄 😳 up but I cant give up 😉 )


So if our actions arent there, then the things, the good things we claim to have in God, will fall to the ground and we will have nothing better to offer other than empty words. I admit to anyone my life isnt perfect but that just shows how good God is that even in my imperfection he still loves me and helps me soldier on if I let him.

I was just talking today with my partner about Bi-sexuality and how we would feel if we found out either one of us was bi-sexual, personally I felt I would be very insecure knowing that my partner was, she said the same but also said well you are with who you are with at the time but even so I would keep thinking “what if you start having feelings for a guy?” and want to be with a man because thats where your sexual preferance is at the time being, what would happen to your current partner?


I can understand a period of bi-sexuality before one embraces an orientation completely but I guess I dont understand someone who is geared to both men and women in every way. None the less it left me feeling a bit rattled, I can fully understand someone who chooses to be celibate sometimes 🙄 😆

Hmm heres a psychological question for you Mags. What is it that is so much more threatening about the possibility that your partner could fall for a guy as opposed to the possibility that she could fall for another woman? It would piss me off more if it were an man but I think thats got more to do with my background a “dammit if one more person in my family decides to switch teams I sware I’ll…” kind of rant. And also because I can’t understand it or apprecaite it, not being attracted to men myself.

If you ever coose to embrace celibacy Maggie I’ll embarce you with open arms… which now I think of it is not very celibate behaviour is it? 😆 😆 Honestly, I don’t really get bisexuality either but more because I seem to go off on a very mature and sophistiacted “eww men” tangent so I can’t fully appreciate it 😆 😆 I will say this though, spend any amount of time around a college campus and you will realise it exists. Kinsey was a bit of a duck but his sexuality spectrum may hold some merit. From what I have gathered the attraction is not always, and not usually in equal quantities. Someone may be more attracted to women in general but still find themselves attracted to men on occasssion or vica versa. I have no answers really but I don’t think bisexuality is an exact middle ground between male homosexuality and lesbianism.

Interesting that you should point out why I would feel threatened by a man, if my partner left me for one, Ive pondered this question before and I dont really know, I guess the fact that I would feel that maybe I wasnt good enough as a woman and that she was just playing “what feels good” at the time and she had no real feelings for me, it was just the sexual aspect that mattered.

I do understand where you are coming from, Ive been there when I was celibate for 6yrs, you want to be friends with another lesbian christian woman without the sex but eventually you either become co-dependant or you have an intimate encounter of some sort or other, I mean it can happen with any woman but the chances of sex would be higher. I guess its the knowing that someone is walking the same walk you have chosen and you could hold each other up through the hard times and really understand what the other is going through.

I can appreciate that. For me I would see her being with a man as more of a sex thing because well men are rather different to have sex with aren’t they? Maybe she bored of me. But I guess it works both ways.


The celibacy jab was more of a joke than an invitation to join my little club 😆 😆 I don’t actually mix socially with other celibate lesbians for the very reasons you mentioned. In fact all women are dangerous, like spagetti they are all straight until you heat them up! 😆 The amount of times I have been hit on by straight women, honestly they are far worse than gay women sometimes.
