Hi Wolfie, I respect your honest questions. Many years ago, I would have asked the same questions. I have very much felt as you did at one time so I completely understand where you are coming from. I guess what I have learned is that we all have cravings and desires, which are natural and God given. We are compelled to eat, to drink, to be sexual and to pee when our bladder gets full. Jesus' life could have been anything he wanted it to be, after all, he was God in the flesh. Yet, he spent his life doing things for others, finally to the point of giving up his own life so that others could be saved. Jesus understood that true fulfillment NEVER comes from serving our own desires, but from giving to others. Sex, I believe, is something that was created so that others could give to us, not so that we could give to ourselves. In a sense, our sexuality is a mouth that another, one who we love, can feed. Practically, it is easy to argue against this, I realize. I would only believe this now, because I have believed what you believe once and it didn't work. I could never supply myself with enough sex to satisfy. I always needed more. For me it is enough that the bible is clear on what sex is for....something to be part of marriage. But from a practical standpoint, I absolutely believe that children who are sexual early, crave sex and are less able to exercise self-restraint than those who come across it later in their lives. Our overly sexualized society brings out sexual desire in children much earlier than needed, encouraging them to explore sexuality which robs them of their innocence. I don't have any problem with loving boys. Loving boys doesn't equate having sex with them. A boylover has sex with a child not to give to that child (the child doesn't need sex...curious or not, they don't NEED it any more than they need candy) but to gratify themself. I don't mean to sound self-righteous. My position is what I believe, not necessarily the way that I have always lived my life. I am trying to be what I believe is right. You are not alone. Love, Ben |
