I'm following this discussion with great interest boys... don't feel you are alone.

Robert, I have to make a personal comment in reference to: "I know that some would say that as soon as you have gay sex, God hangs up the phone and the two partners might as well be animals to each other"

I just want you to know I don't feel/believe that way myself.
Despite the strong position I take on heterosexual marriage being the holy God given standard, I don't believe that gives me title to condemn you for holding to a different theology. Especially in this place.
I read all your posts and have really grown marvelously in my understanding of your position from your well articulated posts. I have a great respect for your view. It is a well thought out, loving and God honoring perspective.

What ever stood in the way of our salvation pre-Jesus, was taken away by grace at the cross.
Brother I welcome your input here very much.... (don't feel lonely because CSL is away).

I am formulating a reply to the points of this post... but its so meaty it takes time :P

Blessings
Cat.
