The "fruits" of your viewpoint are failed pseudo-heterosexual couples where one partner is beating him or herself up for incorrigible sinfulness, and the other is wondering why God's sacrament of marriage failed to provide a true partner. Yes, your viewpoint causes enormous damage and destruction".

"...you DO attack God's love. And try to replace it with relationships built on lies and falsehoods (all those marriage partners pretending a heterosexuality they don't possess)."

Hello Robert-I,

I felt that these were somewhat unfair statements.
For a start I don't think it is fair to say bigcalv is advocating pseudo-heterosexual marriages as a direction to go in. Sure he encourages me to 'overcome' and work on my existing marriage, but that is not to say he would encourage some one to knowingly enter into such a marriage.

Secondly, for those of us who see hetero-marriage as the only Biblical option, pseudo-heterosexual coupling is not the automatic off shoot of this position. I believe the pseudo coupling occurs because of a lack of encouragement for homosexuals to accept themselves and live celibate. So it is a "fruit" of a lack of other direction for people who are same gender attracted, rather than a fruit of the only-hetero-marriage poisition. It may also be a fruit of the "gay is a lie" theology, but that is a separate issue as well. (It seems to me that bigcalv falls into the "gay is a brokenness" camp along with me and a few others on this board.)

Blessings
Cat.

PS: I get a feeling that this is an emotive topic for you. I want to assure you that I want to discuss this subject in a manner that holds you in the highest respect. Because I seek to be brief in my replies I am concerned about how they may "sound". If my tone comes across as offensive let me assure you it is completely unintentional.
