You have shown great courage. Only you can know what God is guiding you to do. I enjoyed reading your well thought out post and it has given me a lot to think about. It's strange, because while I agree that it is best for us to expose our secret sins, so as to make it easier to deal with, I still am very pessimistic as to the tolerance levels of those I am around. I think I would be able to come out to them if it were homosexual feeling that I was struggling with, but I can't see them accepting this. I don't think I would be able to accept it, had I not been afflicted with this problem myself. I think this is why so many homosexuals became such adversaries to Christians. I believe they were treated wrong. Instead of hating the sin, and not the sinner, many christians hated the sinners as well. Satan used the intolerance of many christians to turn homosexuals away from God. I believe there may be churches out there that I could confide my secret with a minister, or other member, however, not in the area I live in. My fear of being cut off from children is a large factor why I remain silent. I would sooner kill myself, than inappropriately touch one of them, however I can't see how I could convince regular people of that. They have a set stereotype, in their head, of what a pedophile is, and it would take a long time to change that. I will pray that all goes well for you, and that you are blessed with support. In Christ, RF |
