| Also, guys... I'm looking for an educated discussion. This is just not going to be about one specific thing but a number of different Christian concepts that I will discuss. |

| In my spiritual studies I work with this idea of liberating oneself mentally. It occurred to me, perhaps, this idea of salvation could have possibly originally meant liberation from mentalities that limit or confine one's joy. So, if I find something is causing me psychological pain, freeing myself... |

| Here’s a thought for you guys . . . Because we were condemned to sin (and I know I’m going off on a tangent now, but I’ll tie it in later), how do we have the option of cleansing we as the people of God? This will test your knowledge of the Christian Faith and I already know the answer. I’m just won... |

| One of the clearest, most pertinent and most humble comments that has been made on the subject of homosexuality and Christianity came from the current Pope, who is a man of God in the truest sense: 'If someone is gay and sincerely seeks God, then who am I to judge?' Although I am Orthodox and not a... |

| EXCELLENT post, elysian1969----BRAVA!! I'm not here to share personal experiences, but recently I have been straying away from homosexuality the more I've become a Christian. This raises the question in my head. Is God changing the hearts of LGBT people because Paul and formerly He as Himself indoc... |

| And guys, refer back to the original question (mine please). It's quite annoying when some people share their ideas and don't refer back to the main subject. Sometimes I do it too, so it's okay. |

| I come from an extremely conservative and orthodox (small-o) Christian background. However, one of the main things I got from that background is that I'm not the Judge. I'm glad I'm not. I can't see into other people's hearts to discern their motives. I have enough trouble discerning my own heart a... |

| I would also argue that these are not disorders, but normal variations within human behavior that have been pathologized for no other reason but the rather eccentric and unusual behavior of people within, which makes them more difficult to manipulate and control. Hey, I think you ideas wrong about ... |

| What I was trying to say is that christianity and homosexuality have always existed together, the problem only arises when people are are able to be open and discuss it, coming out and saying that they have the RIGHT to exist. The same goes for Islam, or at least that's my perception. Staremaster..... |

| Staremaster, read this! =) Here's an idea. "I am the light of the world. He who follows me shall not be condemned but have everlasting life" By the very definition of that, we are not condemned. But look at this "He who condemns sin is already condemned. But he who condemns sin not is... |

Hey there, cam here. I share many of the same interests in music, but I can pretty much appreciate anything from metal to Jazz to classical. I'm not that much older than you, and I'm probably in a worse school situation, but no matter. Haha!

I've had high-functioning autism all my life, so I know how it feels to be strange (I mean, who hasn't felt they didn't fit in with this stuff in them?). I warn you I am an... |
