F.O.D. -- I read your post (which is basically addressed to Forgiven), and I found your last question too intriguing to ignore. I know a lot of people would think it's an oxymoron to say "godly gay" in the same way a lot of people think it's contradictory to say "Christian boylover". How I define a "Christian boylover" is usually much different than how someone who just walks into this forum might define a Christian boylover. We've seen these differences in definitions many times before -- and this has caused many arguments and misunderstandings. I think the same applies to how each one of us may define what it means to have a "godly gay relationship". Is it even possible? Is it possible to be a "Christian" boylover? How? Why? Is it possible to have a "godly" gay relationship? How? Why? Should Christian boylovers engage in sex with boys? Should godly gay men engage in sex with other men? Should Christian boylovers lust after little boys? Should godly gay men lust after other men? How different is a boylover from a Christian boylover, and how different is a gay man from a godly gay man? Should there be a change in the way one acts? Should there be a new limit on one's behavior when he becomes a "Christian" boylover? What about a gay man who becomes converted? Is there a new set of standards that comes into play? Is it okay for a Christian boylover to live alone with a boy? Is it okay for a godly gay man to live alone with a man? Even if that man is the object of his desires? Is it okay to sleep alone with a boy, or for a man to sleep alone with another man? If so, when does it become inappropriate, if ever? Isn't it okay for a man to love a boy, and a man to love a man? But to what degree can one love another before it turns into something that can no longer be defined as Christian or godly? When people see the word "gay" their minds probably think of a gay "sexual" relationship in the same way that the word "boylover" often makes people think of sexual activity between a man and a boy. When we add the word "Christian" or "godly" to the equation, what's the difference? I mean, we must be implying that there is a difference -- why else would we add the word "Christian" or "godly"? So, what exactly is a "godly" gay relationship? Or, more specifically, what does it mean to be "godly" and how is this definition compatible with being gay? ~Splash* |
