You wrote, "Being a boylover is unacceptable to me, I hate it, and I feel guilty all the time. How can it be right? God designed the man to be with a woman. Having these feelings for boys, makes the purpose of God to me,impossible." But St. Paul wrote, "It is well for a man not to touch a woman. . . . I wish that all were as I myself am [that is to say, celibate]. But each has his own special gift from God, one of one kind and one of another. To the unmarried and the widows I say that it is well for them to remain single as I do." (I Corinthians 7) Whether or not God wishes you to be a boylover, can't you see that, from Paul's perspective, you have your own special gift from God insofar as you are unmarried? I think that Bach is right in saying that you can find ways in which to put this gift to use, whether through bringing good into the lives of boys or in some other way. Heather |
