Amen to that sir!
It does me too.
I keep hearing television and radio ministers saying that our sexuality is either male or female. Yet we all know there are those with the reproductive organs and genitalia of both sexes. That doesn't seem to mesh
The prayers of this HOuse be with Alan Keyes and his family.
The rebellion of his daughter must wound him terribly-
only Christ can heal such hurt.And reconcile the errant
child to her parents,and to God.
Quote?
Do agree-- The response seems Biblical. If Dr.Keyes has
taken it to his church and they have attempted to reconcile the rebellious child to her parents,and to God.
But if she has continued to ebrace her error then there
can be no room and no support for her wicked ways from a godly house.
The numbers of gay and lesbian people are a lot at least where I live. I seem to run into them a lot.
They are from all racial backgrounds, My observations not scientific, have shown me that something is lacking. Maturuity or lack of, strikes me as a possible reason. People that have had hurtful relationships sometimes head in that direction because they don't want to be hurt again.
Men that a couple of generations ago would probably marry, are openly gay I think because of the womens movement.
My statements are only what I have observed.
There has also been much talk recently about the possible connection between abuse (physical, verbal or sexual) and homosexuality. I first heard this from a person deeply involved in matters of faith a several years ago. It now seems to be being discussed more and more. I wonder.
I love my son--But True Love does NOT mean one must embrace
what is an abomination worthy of death. I will Not support
my sons' gay lifestyle. HE has chosen error and must accept
the consequences. I have written VP Cheney on several occasions They are entitled to their opinion even as I am
entitled to publically declare my own. I think your error
is you confuse Love with licence. and the two are not
compatible.
48 posts and no pic of maya yet? wow you guys are slipping.
Sure. Not speaking to her? Throwing her out of the house? Cut her off financially? That just screams love to me.
The old "hate the sin, hate the sinner more" at work.
I haven't met anyone who was gay since I was in college, many moons ago. Even then, they tended to date the opposite sex and being gay was far more political than practical for them.
As to speculation on the internal state of the Keyes family, I don't want to go there. I will say, however, that every person I know who experimented with homosexual behavior, to a one of them - all experienced difficulties in their relationship with the father. In the case of many dads, it's not physical or sexual abuse. It can simply be a result of absence/unavailability/distance.
There's a fine balancing act between simply letting what will be be, sending a message that I will support you through love and encourage you through prayer but your lifestyle cannot be permitted in my home nor can I support it and simply being a cruel individual. It's a tough call.
Thanks Annie- as usual you say it better than I could.
As someone pointed out, she could be the prodigal daughter, but if she isn't, then it's a bigger problem that needs to be looked at from both a conservative perspective as well as a faithful perspective. To much of this is happening to young folks who have had the proper faith based education and come from strong faith based families as has Maya. Soemehow, there's a disconnect and something larger is happening or being exposed.
I've wondered the same thing. What's with the hyphen?
And as far as I know, FRC's Robert Knight is still alive, if he's the same guy. He is the one who focuses on homosexual agenda items.
Dan
I also am not sure they stopped loving their daughter.
I am not sure they ever did.
Keep in mind that Keyes was perfectly happy to haave his known to be lesbian daughter delay college and work for him in his election campaign, living in his house.
Keep in mind also that Keyes thinks we all owe him reparations for his ancestors being slaves.
WHile I'm not saying it can't happen, doesn't that give people a lovely start down the road of victimhood?
BLame anyone but the person who makes the choices, it is the liberal way.
