resources for gay Christians

[Atlavocat]

(As I've said before) I think you're great. You may have recommended these before, but I recommend inquiring Christians (straight and Gay) to check out two (2) cheap books, "What the Bible Really Says About Homosexuality" by Daniel Helminiak, Ph.D. and "Openly Gay Openly Christian: How the Bible Really is Gay Friendly" by Rev. Samuel Kader.

If you have money or have access to a good library, check out: "The Church and the Homosexual" 4th Ed. by John J. McNeill; "Thou Shalt Not Love: What Evangelicals Really Say to Gays" by Patrick Chapman, Ph.D.; and "Christianity, Social Tolerance and Homosexuality" by John Boswell.

I love you so much, Sweetie. Thank you...again...for following what Jesus called one of God's most important commands - to Love thy neighbor. You're an amazing witness for that Love. As He said, if He be lifted up, He will draw all people unto Himself. So many people think they're doing God's work by preaching fear, hate and rejection, but it's so refreshing to see His real work being done through messages such as this. Go! Go!! Go!!!

Patrick Chapman, is this the anthropologist that once debated Glen Stanton of the AFA on boxturtlebulletin?

OH MY yes he is the anthropologist.

Now i want to get to know you canyon just for knowing this guy. j/k you sound like someone i want to know too

Im not a christian but i admire values gay christians have for the most part. Commitment, monagamy, and the 'body is a temple of the holy spirit' which prevents them from damaging themselves with harmful drugs/too much promiscuity/etc...

[leojboby]

lol.."you can ask questions"

Ye, you can.. as long as their not too critical(id say close to not at all) of the gay identity, ex-gay therapy or the pro-gay reading of the bible.

At least that was my experience.

Its more of a place of solace for those that have already accepted their sexuality and dont think God has anything substantial to say against them.

For those that live under anti-gay rhetoric.. its not that good of a place to reconciliate gay with christianity.

You spread lies, miss. Sadly being decieved and decieving others.

You compromise the gospel message. The Good news that Christ died for sins, and that through Him we overcome the world and sin.

Instead, you would rather keep sinners from truly coming to Christ.

thank you for your opinion. i have haeard all this before and SOMEHOW God is calling me to do this and I am NOT deceived, perhaps I have insight with mercy. Do you KNOW any Gay Christians? Why not think about checking out some of the resources for your own information. I am blocking you, thank you for watching.

CW thank u very much again...and may i ask, what motivated/motivates u to help out n vouch for the LGBT community, especially those who r gay and christian?

[canyonwlkr]

simple answer...God. I have always had a sensitivity about injustice. About 7 years ago, on a hiking trail, I came across a lesbian that used the same isolated trails to hike her dog and we kept bumping into each other. I started walking with her and planning to meet her. I knew shewas gay and not out, she knew I was Christian and would not come out to me for fear of losing my friendship. It took her a year; i just waited. continued in next pane

[canyonwlkr]

We built such a close friendship over hundreds of hours on trails and one day she told me she felt like the "lowest of the low" because she is a woman, a Native American and a lesbian. It physically hurt me to hear that and some buttton pushed in me an I wondered WHY it was that I was any better esp in God's eyes.

[canyonwlkr]

I entered more into her circle of friends, she into mine and we became very close friends with very different backgrounds...st8, gay...Christian,agnostic....wh­ite, woman of color. It was those trails an the hours on them that built a deep freindship and sensitivity. I guess I think Godlooks for people He can express Himself through and I got picked.

[canyonwlkr]

I gave up a five year relationship with a man I wnated to marry becase he is homophobic. His discrimination offended me. I knew then that I had to pick btwn purpose and person and i did and then God filled me with HIS compassion and there you go and here I am.
