I was just giving you something to consider. Your choices are your own. Wow, are we not allowed to share our opinions here?

Here's my take on the theme of this board: This is a board for people who have chosen to accept Jesus as their personal Lord and Savior (definition of a Christian) and who happen to love boys - hence the name Christian Boy Love. I qualify for both, so that's why I'm here.

Since we have chosen to accept the lifestyle of Christianity, there are certain truths that come straight out of the Bible that we must follow. These truths were put in place by God and are not up for discussion. Jesus made bold comments all the time. In fact, he was killed for doing just that.

I suppose I could dillute my words, but how can iron sharpen iron if we do that? If anything I said here is incorrect, I genuinely welcome your feedback. If it has a solid Biblical foundation, I'll change my thinking.

Yes, we all struggle with the temptation of sexual sin. It was my impression that this board exists to help us avoid sin and still love the children we are priveledged to know. If that's not what this board is about, then I'm in the wrong place.

Accountability is a big thing for Christians. That's why I'm here. I can't exactly go to my local friends and talk about this stuff. They wouldn't understand. You guys do. This is my only lifeline in this area. If we're not free to express our opinions, then that would be a shame for all of us. I'm not stopping you from saying what's on your heart - and I'll never ask you to censor your expressions on my account like you have done with me. By placing your thoughts here, it seems logical that you want feedback on those thoughts. If you are saying things and not being willing to hear other peoples point of view, then doesn't that qualify as a "bold comment" on your behalf? You seem to be contradicting yourself if you do that.

Your choice - you can hate me if you want, but that would be a loss for both of us. I hope we can have open communication in the future. I would enjoy that.

I'm sort of new here, so I'll clarify why I said what I said. I work with children on a daily basis, and there are literally dozens of boys that would do anything for me. I just seem to attract their affection and trust without even trying. I have the same temptations that you do, but it's more beneficial for me to do what I know is right - which is to respect them in a pure way. In the end, that is really more fulfilling than what my short-sighted desires may be. I was in your shoes a decade or so ago. I know exactly what you're saying. Wisdom comes with time and experience. I say what I say because I don't want you to mess up your life or the life of this kid you're talking about. But who am I anyway? Just some old guy who's trying to tell you what to do. I'm sorry if I come across that way.

Forget everything I have just said and do this one thing for me. Get on your knees and pray to God, "Lord, give me wisdom. Should I pursue a sexual relationship with this boy? Is it the best thing I can do for him?"

If your motives are genuine, your prayer will be answered, and you'll know exactly what to do or not do. Listen to the voice of God, not me. After all, you'll have to answer to Him on judgement day, not to me.

Oh, one more thing. You said, "You make it sound like im tricking or seducing him" Ask yourself this: "Am I (Youth??) tricking or seducing myself?" I don't want you to answer this question publicly. Search your heart for the answer. It's there.
