Oh, magzdragon, that’s wonderful…. I am such in awe because of what you’ve posted…. if you were wondering if the bullets would fly…. well one of them has, my own heart!
‘What happened to the call?’ Oh, indeed!
Why is it that when we ask God to be delivered of something, it always means we give up our sexuality – or become a priest.
I’ve done that so many times now – and He rescued me each time.
Now I feel my calling is this – to help other Gays find their place.
I don’t think the Bible is out against homosexuality, I blame the translations of the Bible for creating a massive mess.
I won’t go into it let lest I be shot down, but I believe the important message of the Bible is LOVE. Without any doubt.
When we start denying THAT, that’s when we run into all sorts of problems, psychoses, depression, breakdowns and so on.
It’s that simple.
‘What happened to the calling?’. Indeed.
When I was broken-hearted at 27, I came to God and said ‘If you deliver me from this I’ll become a Priest’, and I also said ‘I won’t love anyone (including males) that I haven’t loved before’.
Well God accepted me on that.
And the next time I met my Italian lover in Rome, we had an impassioned evening, hugging, kissing and embracing. It was pure heaven. And it was all sanctioned.
But after a few years (without giving all of the details), I kept asking – whatever happened to the calling to become a Priest?
Is it still there?
What would my particular calling be?
To preach to the broken hearted, the sexually abused, the gays, confused and straights; to bind up their wounds, to anoint and heal them with oil.
I feel so much more empowered because of your message magzdragon, I appeal to you, please follow your calling – the desert is a very dry place, and many cannot survive too long, they simply give up on life – keep your passion fuelled.
Look at David and Jonothan’s love for each other – the King’s son and the future King of Israel – hugging, kissing, crying in each other’s arms, ‘exceeding’ (what ever that means), and even the equivalent of a same-sex civil union – a sworn love pact between the two of them, with all of their love explicitly explained in the Holy (emphasis) Bible.
No sodomy though. It’s only sodomy that was explicitly banned in the Bible, one specific homosexual act – not homosexuality as an orientation or in general.
And even Leviticus does NOT say “A man shall not sleep with a man”.
It says “A man shall not sleep with a man in the way he sleeps with a woman”. That to me directly refers to pegs’n’holes – once again, sodomy.
In fact, I think we would all be a lot healthier if we removed every word ‘homosexual’ in the Bible and replaced it with ‘sodomite’ – and I think you’ll see why David and Jonothan got the blessing whilst it was still a homosexual relationship – it wasn’t a sodomite relationship.
I for one have never agreed to sodomy, the anal chamber was I believe made for but one purpose – and not inserting things. Whilst I have every empathy for AIDS sufferers, anal sex is sick, and perverts natural laws.
Can I still be considered to be a homosexual?
