Matthew 18:6 "But if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a large millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea." Are you actually encouraging someone struggling with lust to give in to it?? I would hope not! There is freedom! I've experienced it personally. You CAN stop being infatuated with boys. It happened for me. It doesn't take heroine or murder or gluttony - what a ridiculous statement! It takes prayer and accountability to string Christian pastors and mentors. And here is an epiphane for you - there are people in this world who can be a great encouragement to boys and build them up emotionally and spiritually without at the same time desiring to see them naked or kiss them or embrace them romantically. You can get over that stuff. God did it for me. And I can still encourage many boys appropriately. I do so now at church under the supervision of four pastors with whom I have confessed my lusts and desires and sought counsel. And it works fine. The lusful desires have subsided to almost nothing. Why encourage Tempest to give in to desires to sin and remain mired in thoughts of boys (and use heroin?) when he can be free, and relate to boys positively? My life has changed tremendously as a result of what God has done to heal me emotional desires toward boys. God CAN heal. God WILL heal. Only if you refuse to admit that you want or need His healing is it impossible to be healed. Let's humble oursleves before the Lord and admit our need for Him and His power in our lives. Let us admit that God has a greater vision for us than to justify a boy lust under the auspices of a 'greater spiritual desire' to 'encourage' them. "Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and HE WILL LIFT YOU UP!" James 4:6-7: "But he gives us more grace. That is why Scripture says: "God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble." Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you." |
