Yes, I have a problem with men being gay. It offends me as a single woman. Especiall the really fun, cute ones.

Usher: Hey Deak, this reminds me of something I ran into the other day – a non-believing friend of mine mentioned the very distasteful sexual behaviors of a certain person (with his wife and friends – whom I know attends the bible study of my very best friend)

Deacon:And……

Usher: Well he told me he couldn't do business with someone like that and that even though the guy in question had a business proposal, the fact that has seen videos of the unseemly behavioir was enough to keep him from ever doing business with this man.

Deacon: So what did you do?

Usher: Nothing. Even though I struggled with the knowledge of the whole thing because I know all of the parties mentioned.

Deacon: Isn't it your responsibility to tell your friend that leads the bible study?

Usher: Says who? Is that not simply more gossip to fuel the flame? None of my business. I did something like that once when I was a very young buzzrd and it got me thrown out of my nest and into a lot of hot water. Sometimes God tells you things you just have to keep to yourself. That's why stones are part of your craw – so you can digest it without it comin' back up:)

Get over your holier than thou selves would ya? NONE of us is without sin, and if we say we have not sin we decieve ourselves… but of course not GOD. Personally I simply don't understand how men can lust after men nor women after women, but men lusting after women and women lusting after men is still the same sin. Lust. And so many LUST after other things and think nothing of it….money, possessions, power, fame… to name a few. Far too much time being spent worrying about everyone elses walk with God— work out your OWN salvation in fear and trembling. Stop with the who's the biggest sinner. NONE of us will get to heaven without JESUS. Let HIM do the saving. Was David less a sinner than a gay man? Adulterer, lustful, murderer, liar, and still beloved by God. Hard one to figure, but its all right there in His Word. Get on with what God wants you to do in this life, how He wants YOU to serve Him. And JOHN seems to be alive and caustic in MANY forums and blogs. What's up with that?

I agree and disagree with what you wrote. I agree with it in that people pretend that sex is some secret rite, when, (let's face it) if you are married everyone knows you are doing it. If two people are unmarried and believe in premarital sex EVERYONE knows they are doing it because the parties can never keep it quiet.

A jewish wedding (old tradition) has the couples get engaged, throw a huge party in which the guests are in a large room ajoining the honeymoon suite as newly weds 'consummate' their marrige while the grooms best friend stands outside the door until the act is done! How's that for attraction to other people's business?

On the other hand, I discarded my fixation with sex when I realized I could be doing something else! In other words, I've found something else to fulfill my personal (non-sexual) desires.

Thumbs up for a good piece!

The song "What If I Stumble" by DC Talk says it best….

"The greatest single cause of atheism in the world today

Is Christians who acknowledge Jesus with their lips

Then walk out the door and deny him by their lifestyle.

That is what an unbelieving world simply finds unbelievable."

Jesus would have attended a gay wedding and changed water into wine..oh no I just opened another can of worms
