I know almost nothing about members of the Church who struggle with homosexuality because if there are individuals that I know who fit that description, they have chosen not to share that with me. I respect that. I also really respect you for sharing your thoughts and experiences. Thank you for helping me to learn more about this area. I pray I can reach out and be loving, accepting, and uplifting to all of God's children in any circumstance. I feel one of the best ways to do so is to become educated. So thanks for that. I plan on reading much more.The Santini Stewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15454464866461002245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2780506856626441160.post-17902974713096432112011-10-28T00:12:19.870-07:002011-10-28T00:12:19.870-07:00Absolutely amazing post.

I'm sure many people who read it do. It's the reason I started my own blog--I have often felt out of place and caught between two worlds. I have been told I couldn't exist in the church with differences between myself and others in the church. However, it is where I most like to be and I know that God understands who I am and what I'm trying to do in life. Sometimes it's a difficult place to be, the inbetween, but the most important thing is to continue to try and put some faith in Heavenly Father. <br /><br />Church is for those who aren't perfect. Church is for those with struggles. God is for those with struggles. My brother likes to call the church a "hospital" for the "spiritually afflicted." The people that most belong there are part of this group. If we were perfect, then there would be no need to be in a church, because we would know all there is to know. I hope that everything works out for you in life, and everything happens the way you want it to. I'll continue to read as long as you continue to post!Cherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09272182170581574753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2780506856626441160.post-34303133231911167472011-10-20T13:19:16.844-07:002011-10-20T13:19:16.844-07:00amen! i know that for a while i would feel the exa...amen! i know that for a while i would feel the exact same way. it took a lot of self and spiritual growth to allow me to develop a better relationship with the Lord in order to feel his presence whenever i needed him the most.

You have such a strong testimony. It's always nice to have a different perspective to help us understand and cope with the many trials of life. My nephew is gay and it's hard to watch the struggles he's had to go through with our society. I know that is not an easy life. Thank you for your openness and honesty.

I echo the prophets when they say that members of the Church need to be kinder, more loving, more forgiving, and more understanding as they uphold the standards of the gospel. And I think it happens one person and conversation at a time - not preached over the pulpit. Changing people takes time an effort and the power of God... And ultimately that's what God wants to accomplish - changing each of us to fit the men He sees within our hearts. For some of us, it's changing our minds. For others, it's changing their hearts. For all of us, it means changing the very core of who we are to become like Christ.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03552740645279057549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2780506856626441160.post-23816232163233075382011-10-12T10:05:49.453-07:002011-10-12T10:05:49.453-07:00I have struggled with my attraction to guys cince ...I have struggled with my attraction to guys cince my childhood.

If it includes that mission, what work can be done in this area? If it precludes that mission, why?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
