Yes, I've stated that I am biased- show me someone who isn't. Yes, I am re-examining my beliefs. Remaining biased will not allow you to completely re-examin your beliefs in total objectivity. This is already a moot point because you have stated that you are currently living with your old beliefs! They are obviously well ingrained and you know this whole thing is a farce! No, I am not looking for loop-holes- but yes, I am looking for truth. Yes, I have been raised to believe things about sexuality that I no longer feel comfortable supporting. Yes, I feel a certain degree of uncomfortablilty with the things I've experienced as well as the things I'm starting to believe. This is because there are things that you want to do that your current beliefs will not allow you to do. Where is the reasoning in that? Why change your beliefs because they don't fit your wants? On the same scale I could want to kill somebody but should I seek out beliefs that would allow me to do so? That is unhealthy thinking! No, I don't believe that is because I am necessarily wrong but rather because I am questioning things that have been pounded into my head since I was born. I do hope the beliefs pounded into your head included being taught the difference between right and wrong! God forbid you were raised by a pack of wolves and taught to kill and take dominance over others! Yes, I do believe that the sexual aspect of some AF/YF relationships have "promoted" the relationship. If it weren't so I wouldn't have the views I do. This is going to be your fatal mistake! If you cannot draw on your own experiences to see that this is wrong then you wouldn't be here questioning it! I've yet to see an AF/YF sexual relationship that was completely and totally without some kind of tilted logic behind it. The apple on the tree looked good to Eve and she believed what the snake was telling her even though she new better! Will you choose to believe the snake or will you choose to believe what you already know as truth? YES, I most certainly do see my current YF on equal emotional levels. My current YF is by most standards a peer. No, I am not is parental figure- I am his best friend, possibly older brother if you want a familial comparison. You need to determine if this person is indeed your YF or a peer. It cannot be both! The definition of a YF is one where age or mental capacity brings them to a level where they depend on you for support and guidance. Sounds to me like he is a peer now that you've explained further but I question and you should question why you label him as a YF! NO, I am not involved sexually with him, nor will we ever be involved in that way. Then where is the questioning of beliefs coming from? Certainly you've thought of this person in a sexual way or you're planning for the future! Now which is it? Are you thinking of finding new beliefs that fit his own? Yes, I am here to serve others the way God would want me to. I do sincerely hope that is what you intend because I believe that God would not want to see you carry out the actions you're seeking to justify here! His teachings tell us about selfishness, for one. Funny though, I found nothing loving or Christ-like in your post. Nor did I find it deserving of a more congenial response, which is rare. Good! I now have your attention! I love all my Christian brothers and even sisters but unlike our dear brother Bach and others I will not candy-coat my beliefs when I see a brother about to talk himself into stepping off a cliff! At least I have your attention of a response and the response of Bach, while very to the point as was mine, goes unresponded to. I hope you read it anyway. One question though, I am not familiar with your nick or any of your other posts- do you claim to be a follower of Christ? I am a follower of Christ and Christ is a follower of me mostly because he needs to kick my ass once in awhile to get me back on track! It should also be apparent that this conversation pushes the outer limits of what can be allowed here and what has to be deleted. Additionally I've made reference to AF/YF relationships that are best left a mystery in the same way that "Questioning" has done below. Mans law is not always God's law! OHP |
