sex is not inerrently sinful within the confines of a marriage...that would be saying God created in us something evil. Wait a minute. Most of us are not able to love women in the way necessary for marriage, yet we all have sexual feelings and desires--for boys. Therefore, according to this logic, since God made us with a sexuality that cannot be expressed within marriage, he *did* create in us something evil. Or did God originally create us straight and then Satan made us BLers? Personally, I think that belief would be as superstitious as believing that Satan causes left-handedness or any other variation. I believe sexual orientation varies from person to person, as do all other human characteristics, and God created us with that variation (or at least the potential for variation). the human body is created by God and each part has its functions...hunger for food is not evil, but gluttony is...sexual appetite is not evil [for God commanded Adam & Eve to be fruitful and multiply Genesis 1:28], if used in the confines of marriage.... So what is the function of the BLer's "sexual appetite"? FOD wrote that "sex is good." How can that be true for BLers? It would be wrong for me to have sex with a woman (or man) since I could not love her (or him) in the way necessary for marriage. The only way sex could be good for me would be if sex with a boy were good in certain situations, say, in some marriage-like relationship. I think we need to face the fact that we pretty much believe that for us, sex is bad. Mark |
