WOW, someone who agree's with me! Im glad someone is on my side LOL! Yep, we all have temptations, not just boylovers, I for one struggle with temptations constantly, but as Ive said many times, its not the temptation that is the problem, but what we do with it. I wont say I know what it means to be a "boylover" or what your struggles feel like, because I DON'T! But in all honesty, I still find days when I struggle with my sinful nature, the desires of the flesh, as Paul says. And find that, satan often tries to lead me back to a life of homosexuality & sometimes its really hard to resist. If Im totally honest, there have been times (very few, but some) when I have given into those temptations and found myself in compromising situations, I guess that just makes me human, right? Ive come to accept that, there is NOTHING wrong with finding another man attractive, I don't believe that it is sinful to admire another man for his "good looks" I suspect some will disagree, but thats cool. The way I see it, God has given us the ability to appreciate beauty, lets face it there are some good looking men (and women) out there, right? God has shown me that, there is nothing wrong with acknowledging that someone of the same sex is attractive. Where that attraction becomes tainted with sin, is when the attractions goes a step further and we begin to lust over the person. When we begin to think "ungodly" thoughts, you know, "man, that guy (girl) is hot! I'd give anything to get into his/her pants" Or "Man, I'd love to be able to sleep with him/her" you get the drift. Or when we give into that attraction (that is often followed by temptation). I think its the samething thing with "boylove" I can't see anything wrong with finding some boys cute, good looking or whatever! Everyone loves boys (and girls)there are some really cute kids out there. So on that level, I don't see it as sinful. But as I said before, if we take things further and start lusting for the boy, or fantasing about him or even finding ourselves, wanting to have sex with him, thats when sin is an issue. If we act upon our attraction or temptations and find ourselves engaging in sexual acts with the boy (or anyone else for that matter) thats when we sin. I guess what Im saying is, there is nothing wrong with you guys finding some boys attractive (even I do)or find yourselves "drawn" to some boys, I mean there are just some kids that, just have this thing about them that makes you love them and spend time with them etc.. Again there is nothing wrong with that and if thats what "boylove" is than, thats cool by me! (not that it matters what I think LOL!) But if "boylove" is about having sex with kids or seducing, coercing or manipulating kids just to satisfy your own sinful desires, than thats WRONG! And in that respect, I dont see how anyone can say that you can be a "boylover" and a christian. I hope Im making sense LOL! |
