Hi All,

This is my biggest uncertainty:

The Bible says, "Homosexuals will not inherit the kingdom of God." Okay, with that being said, where is the line that one crosses into the Homosexual realm? Where is that line?

Consider where homosex fits into the biblical concept of love. What is Love? Is love and Sex two completely separate concepts? Why do we humans associate love with sex?

I have recently started researching love in different cultures to better understand my Western Cultural understanding. Men in America don't show emotion. Women in America hold hands, sit with their legs in each others laps, etc.... Why is it taboo for Men to express their feelings the way women do in Western Culture?

I could go on forever about this... so I'm gonna stop so we can "dialogue" and come to self-understanding that it's okay for us to express ourselves.

On last thing, The way I have reconciled the Homos won't inherit the kingdom of God situation is this: We can express our feelings. It's when our love (Phileo, and Agape) for each other turns into love (Eros) that we run into problems with the Lord.

Again this is an attempt to draw on other brains and thought patterns, a flame that we are doomed to hell. Remember I struggle with these feelings myself. Therefore I have a need to understand and further this process of "Sanctification." The Lord is not expecting us to be perfect, but he is expecting us to be striving for peace with all men, and to pursue holiness, without which no one will see the Lord! (Heb 12:14) Holiness is the issue I believe. How can we love boys in a Holy manner that is pleasing to the Lord and worthy of the gospel of Christ? As for me, I will express my love toward someone regardless of gender and age in whatever way is mutually comfortable/appropriate or acceptable between myself and that person. And for the sake of my concience I will leave sex out of it.

Let's Talk!

Love your new friend,

Jonas
