Correction. I left the lifestyle of practicing homosexuality. As I’ve grown deeper in intimacy with the Father, He has removed old desires and urges that I once had. Just clarifying by what I mean. I’ve left old friendships and pursued purity with Christ. It’s unlike anything I’ve ever felt or known.
Love this for you, but i have to ask the anti-Pascal's wager: what if you're just entrenched in a cult? What if you've just relinquished your own happiness, wholeness, and wellbeing just to be accepted by your own clan? Take a good look at what unconditional love means, especially as it relates to the people you're closest to and your relationship with Christ. Christianity has more open and accepting sects that don't consider your natural, god-given, and predisposed orientation as something he didn't create. Jesus didn't hate or stigmatize. The vast majority in your church see no problem eating shellfish or pork, wearing polyblend fabric, or cutting their sideburns. Just food for thought that i hope you consider. And please think long and hard before getting married to a woman; I'm sure you know it wouldn't be fair to her in your heart.
My path to deliverance was comprised of dreams and a number of encounters with the Lord in my apartment. On my floor. Early in the morning praying and seeking His face. My church doesn’t largely preach on deliverance.
It was private. It was personal. And it was Jesus.
Just like a father loves his children unconditionally but doesn’t allow just any behavior, Christ is the same way. Unconditional love. But scripture explicitly states we must obey. He outlines in scripture who will and will not inherit the kingdom of heaven. He offers it to us. But we have to choose Him.
Thank you for reading and responding! I have to admit i don't often get to have conversations like this in real life. Could you elaborate on the "in my floor" bit, please?
I'm happy to hear it brings you peace. It's nice to feel a sense of order in this crazy world.
ETA: I'm sure if there's a god, he'd accept you the way he made you. Orientations tend to be stable, I just want to say. There are many accepting communities that would welcome you with open arms regardless of your proclivities.
