I have a very slow connection so I cannot read all the threads in this forum but from what I read so far, most if not all the people here seem to be very insightful and practice a good degree of Godly wisdom. Someone brought up the issue of Christian BL's as setting an example for other BLs. I am most interested in this for several reasons. First, as a psychologist/sociologist, I have worked with dozens if not hundreds of peds, in jail or otherwise. Surprisingly, a good number of them are what I would call "good" people (good being relative of course, none but GOD is good). They are confused, misguided, controlled by their passions. They have nowhere else to turn. The peds they usually get exposed to encourages them to "act out" while society often if not always casts them out as lepers. Isn't it our Christian duty to try to help them? Afterall, didnt the LORD associate himself with prostitutes, thieves, murderers, terrorists, et al (and got in trouble for it too, if I may add). There are several reasons why I feel this is important. First, the "church" is becoming more and more self-righteous again, at least in America. Consequently, it is turning off a lot of people who would otherwise be saved. Secondly, the number of young pedos as young as 12 is increasing in an alarming rate. Basically they get only two messages , "its okay to have wild sex" or "you are a monster". It would be great for them to be exposed to a third message , "God loves you for who you are and offers you eternity in HIS Love." I was wondering if we can do something about this, and how. (sigh) Again, I apologize for being blunt if not forward. In Christ, John Guard |
