There you go talking again about what you don't have like its something you once knew?
Not so much the talking part, but that desire is in all. If you lost something, you once had it, right?. Typically we look for God on the outside, the last place we normally look is on the inside.
Wished I had a dime for everytime I found out I was wrong about something.
You are rich just admitting this, but don"t dwell on being wrong. Let the haughty of heart look down on you, they just haven't seen what you are seeing yet.
Why should I? You intentionally misled with your post. Or perhaps not. Were you too stupid to go back and read what I posted just three or four posts prior?
Still trying to make it about me
Warden, the king of deflections, and denials.
No one misled you. Own your words man.

While I'm in agreement with your 'Yes' ...it really doesn't make any sense. One cannot be repentant of the very thing one keeps on practicing. The truly repentant would discontinue the particular 'sin' they are repenting of, i.e. the remarried couple would have their second marriage annulled and either return to their former spouse or remain celibate for the rest of their lives. Just as the majority of conservative Christian would expect of a repentant homosexual. It's not too good a proposition, is it?
So, let's just get this straight.
The man who committed adultery, and whose marriage failed 10 years ago, then he married again (yes, wrongly, we both agree) should NOW divorce his second wife and go back to the first? What if she doesn't want him? He should still divorce the new wife? Leave any kids in that marriage and her as a single mother?

But this is where the rubber meets the road. And this is where Christians come undone. While you, BF, give your personal approval to repentant homosexuals (though I'm not sure what they are repenting of exactly) being accepted by the Church, the majority of conservative Christians would not. I'll bet Jeff, Finn and others of like mind would not agree with you. I would also bet that these same folks (Jeff, Finn, etc) would not have any qualms about those who sit in the church pews every week who are on their second or more marriages either. This is SO a case of double standards that those who hold to these positions of major inconsistencies cannot be taken seriously.

I think they would, actually. And this is what's so frustrating, when people like you and others on this forum continue to spout bigotry and hate by lying about what we actually believe.
It's a sin. One repents of it and moves on.

What does one do? Well, they ditch the Bible - or at least their interpretation of the Bible - in situations where human reasoning should rule the mind. The Bible should not EVER dictate who one should be attracted to, who one should fall in love with, or who someone should choose to marry.
That's really the issue, isn't it?
I'm sorry for whatever happened that must have just about ruined your faith. You call yourself a former pastor? What happened?
