>I don't understand why God has called someone like me. I don't either - perhaps it is to inspire people like me. You see, I am not a pedophile, but I have sin issues too. Most are transient, and none would get me into serious legal trouble if I gave into them. So when I see people on this and other boards living a life of celibacy, either out of respect for God or fear of the law, well, any "it's too hard not to" excuse with me and my sins goes out the window. I mean, if you, someone with as big an issue as this, can live in accordance with God's laws, and me, with my relatively minor issues, can't, then something is seriously wrong with me and/or my relationship with God. And if God uses you to point this out to me, praise God. This is Ben's line, but it applies here: "You are NOT alone." And Ben, if you are reading this - with Jesus, nobody is ever alone (I know that's not what you meant 2+ years ago when you started using that phrase). -David ("d") |
