I Waited Patiently . . . Ps. 40
avatar

As the  third of eight children, four boys and four girls, I was always very shy. And being less than a year younger than my elder brother, always hid behind him and actually looked to him to ‘protect’ me. At the same time, I wanted him to leave me alone. I remember that September morning … Continue reading –>

Gay Christian – An Oxymoron?
avatar

“How can one be gay and call oneself a Christian?” These words bring back memories of the time when I thought that “gay Christian” was an oxymoron. Since then I, a conservative Christian who believes that sexual activity was designed by God as a special bond and procreative act within heterosexual marriage, have gained some … Continue reading –>

Bisexual – Somewhere in the Middle
avatar

Although most men identify themselves as straight, some will say that they are gay, and there are a others who would rather be called “bi.” I have trouble with these labels, for I am not sure whether a person is talking about orientation or actions. Instead of representing human sexuality as three separate boxes, I … Continue reading –>

Gay marriage has been accepted in Canada since July, 2005. From media reports, one would think that probably ten or fifteen percent of marriages in Canada were between people of the same sex. Statistics Canada (2006) listed six out of a thousand marriages as being between same sex couples. That is just over one-half of … Continue reading –>

Sins of Sodom
avatar

Many Christians believe that homosexuality is the worst of sins because, after all, God destroyed Sodom for it, didn’t He? But does the Bible really say this? For the sake of completeness, I have done a digital search of the Bible for all references to Sodom. I haven’t copied them all in this post because … Continue reading –>

Is homosexuality a sin?
avatar

Most conservative Christians answer Yes to that question. And same-sex-attracted persons listening feel condemned because they understand homosexuality to be their sexual orientation, just like heterosexuality is a sexual orientation. But when conservative Christians say “homosexuality,” they usually think of gay sex, rather than sexual orientation. And that creates a lot of misunderstanding. … Continue reading –>
