@tuberobotto 68% of aids patients are in sub-saharan africa. and 58% of those people are women according to surveys done by unicef and several other world medical organizations. i doubt those women get it from gay sex. probably should check your facts before spouting off useless speaking points.

"Being gay has been one of the great stretching and growing experiences of my life."

I lol'd hard.

@MSus92 you were borned with it, came from Demon, not God.

[MrPjet77]

@RainfulPhenix you are a christian , then you need to controll your mouth. Fuck all this bible shit. This sentence that come of your mouth is sure not good.

@MSus92 Cont..5)..the commonest way one gets it is thru indulging in gay sex, few or many times doesn't matter. If it was by other circumstances, that needs to be studied. Getting HIV is a consequence of one's acts and should God allow it I would think it a grave reminder to put us back face to face with Him. In the end, we have to make that choice, an eternal life with Him in heaven or a life separated from Him. Life here is temporal. Heaven isn't imaginary and neither is hell.

@MSus92 Cont..4) But out of God's deep love for us, He punishes us to remind us of where we are in the relationship, like reminders. God certainly doesn't want any of us to go astray like lost sheep and I can tell you that being gay is not in the center of His will. For a time He allows us to go our way but there's a limit and then reminders come to put us back into place. You might say that a gay friend contracted HIV and you ask why does God allow it to happen? First of all (Cont)

@MSus92 Cont..3)..is why "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." (1John1:9). The keyword that I offer for you to live by is "Love". God loves us and He wants us to love Him back and obey Him but He will never force His hand upon us. But picture this, if you know that your dad loves and cares for you, he will punish you for misdemeanors or mischief, right? Otherwise, what the heck, who cares? (Cont..)

@MSus92 Cont..2)...your faith in the saving grace of Jesus's sacrifice for you, accepted Him as your Lord and Savior, then you can avail of the strength God gives to those who want to follow Him, to change and be transformed. Paul knows of the struggles and pains when he wrote "O wretched man that I am...". Everyone fights his own demons, so to speak. Peter with his flip-flopping, Paul with his ailment, Moses with his anger, etc..No one's perfect and Jesus knows that which (Cont..)

@MSus92 _1) "Sin loves misery and misery loves company". Believe whatever you want to believe but please bear in mind that all this is just temporal including the so-called lusts and pleasures that we seek. Being Christian and gay is like being christian and an alcoholic. God knows that we are not perfect and will falter at times to do the same old mistakes. Some go back to drinking, etc.. But forgiveness always abounds and God never fails to forgive. If you have truly put (Cont...)

Why does everyone suddenly assume its all about religion?

Im a christian but the reason I dont see being gay as attractive because I dont like the nature of it, not because "god" tells me to.

Fck all this "bible" shit.
