First of all, I need to address a few points made by Bryce in the forums because (being a Christian myself) I strongly disagree with a few of his comments, and having actually "been" places he has perhaps not yet tread, maybe he'll change his tune when he sees some day where this is coming from.

Yeah, but a church is "The House of Sinners." I'd say maybe a fourth of my congregation is actually Christian. 3/4 just kinda go, for
some reason.

Bryce, many of those people are there because they are grasping...reaching out for something to beleive in...the church promises love and acceptance...but are they following through?

The next one really bothered me...

And to answer what I think is your next comment Charles: Jubilee is not currently sinning this sin, because she is with you. Or at least that's my opinion.

Is this not a double entendre? So, if I date a man, I'm okay with you...even though I also like women? Just because Jubes is dating Charles, you consider that to be atonement for her "transgression"?

Just a side note: God sees ALL SINS AS EQUAL...there is no greater or lesser. It's still wrong. So don't make more out of my sins that you would make of your own. Kudos to Jubes for mentioning to take the log out of your own eye before looking for splinters in the eye of another.

I've been thinking about things a lot lately, and have decided that maybe some of the choices in my life have been misguided, heck, I'm still pretty young and stupid. I was deluded when I thought that I could cast off something that came into play the day I was born and I can no longer deny the feelings that I have. God forgive me if I find out when I meet Him someday if this is also a wrong choice.

Now the thing I do NOT want is anyone "welcoming me out" on my reappearance from the proverbial closet. Please don't do that. Just accept me and like (love) me like you always have. I'm not looking to make allies or enemies here, actually, I'm an introvert and somedays I'd rather you all just leave me the heck alone.

I beleive that Jesus did die for my sins, and I also beleive that true love conquers all and knows no bounds.

Just a little update for those of you that haven't realized it (might as well, I'm already up at the podium...) I've recently moved back to my hometown of Victoria, BC again, living with my (oh no!!) parents. *sigh* Actually, they're great, and it's really helped me out to be home.

I've been hired, yet again, at an ISP doing tech support (yippee! *o_O*) and it's actually turned out to be a great job, the people I work with are fantastic.

Okay, that's it for now, I'll be around here as much as possible, so you guys darn well better make me feel good about being here! *LOL*

Sex is sacred. Your body is a temple. Anyone need sanctifying? ;)

also--like dani pointed out, no sin is any worse or better than another. God hates sin. period, end of sentence. sin. not sinNERS. we are ALL sinners, in some way or another. at least, i sure as heck know i am. and when Jesus was on this earth, who did he hang around with? the priests, and kings, and really prestigous and 'worthy' people? NO! tax collectors, whores, and your stereotypical 'sinner'.

bleh. get me out of here before i get more upset. i don't mean to sound like i'm shredding anyone apart, i just got through deleting my whole geocities page and i'm rather pent up. i don't know WHEN i'll get to sleep tonight *sighs* bye.
