You made the choice a long time ago. You do not struggle because you have given into the sin. See you were and are so hatefilled you dishonored your parents, another level of sin you have given into. No you have no time for truth and choose to live the lie.



I found happiness when I made the right choice and married my wife. You would not be living in contradiction to your true self, you are doing that now. God did not create you gay anymore than he created Hitler evil. Ted Haggard is happy with his wife now and realizes he made a mistake by dishonoring God.



If it goes against scripture then it is not moral and you are merely happy in your sin. As for healthy there is nothing healthy about the gay lifestyle.

You're a lost cause. Good luck in the closet.

You don't have to bow to it. I'll fight along side you to ensure your church has the right to not marry gay people. I'm saying this because this seems to be the false argument used by fundamentalists - that their church will be force to marry gay people. Not true, and not what gay people want. Churches have the right to marry or not marry whomever they choose.

Oh yes, we are all repressed, latent homosexuals.....I love that one. Denverian, if it wasn't in the bible then we wouldn't be having this debate.
Unfortunately for the world it is so what are we as Christians to do?

Yes it's true under the law of discrimination and civil rights. A Christian photographer was sued because she refused to take pictures of a civil union. Do not fool yourself. This will happen. Churches who do work for the homeless funded by the government can't anymore unless they hire gay employees. These things have already happened. I can go on.

Of course we do, the bible commands Christian to respect and obey the law within reason. If the government tries to stop us from worshiping our God, well then they will have a fight on their hands but if it is about homosexuality? then that is not that important.

Keep trying though. I applaud your effort (golf clap)
Contractors are paid via their contracts.

Your numbers may be fine, but they do not reflect me.

I am outside of your numbers.

Most US service members who today receive a monthly paycheck from DFAS, are likewise outside of your two listed groups.

You have not yet considered the largest group of US service members currently receiving Federal paychecks.

More than AD and part-timers combined.

You seem to have an indepth knowledge of the subject. I look forward to your source for your numbers and the number of personnel in the United States who are governed by military code. Thanks for the input.

Sorry but I have never been in the closet. I am pretty open about who I am and what I deal with.

I think that the christian sister not photographing a gay couple's civil union is very extreme. The photographer was not providing the service for them to get their Civil Union, and had that been the case, then I would be in agreement and perfectly understand why she wouldn't want to do the civil union for the gay couple.
