Thanks for posting lawless. Your frustrations are familiar to me. I also wonder just how biblical or precedented 'the switch' in sexual orientation is. For that matter, being a 'good Christian' cannot mean being without a sinful nature, yet there's little room for that in most public Christian circles. Anyway, it's easy to point out hypocrisy, and I don't need to look farther than myself to find it... But what do we do with the sinful nature we aren't going to be rid of? I don't know. We deal with it I guess-- we do what God wants of us because that's the only thing that will last in the end. Perhaps slavery is a good analogy, but you have to play it all the way out and consider the character of the master. He'll be there in the end forever, and has a place so beautiful for us that we'll forget the slavery analogy and apply something more like the prodical son story to try and understand why he did so much for us. But that's easy for me to say, I'm not in your shoes.. Please continue to let us know how you're doing. - Jeremy
