I’m (also) attracted to women who are not my wife. Statement of fact. Does this mean I am also not seeking God?


Do you tell everyone you are an adulterer? Do you identify yourself as an adulterer?

Asking people who they are is always revealing. Some will say they are their job. Some will say I am ________ son or daughter. Sadly most of us (me included) don’t identify us first as a follower of Christ.

PeterPrinciple: She spends the whole, entire article identifying herself as a follower of Christ.

She also identifies herself as a sinner. So do I--- and right out loud --- every time I go to Mass.

I notice you identify yourself as a GOP party animal. Would I be justified in thinking that means you're not a follower of Christ? No, I don't think I should make that kind of judgment. I suspect you don't, either, my FRiend.

I don't because I'm not. Temptations are not sinful. Acting or dwelling on such temptations is. In that vein, this woman is not a "practicing" homosexual. She has left behind those sinful acts but the attraction remains.

This is a subtle but very important difference.
