So you got rid of the homosexual section???Another examples of the "Christians" throwing the homosexuals out of their "perfect"
You know several months I found this website and heard your story on you tube. I was not looking for anything even close to what I found when I heard your story , it just appeared and I clicked on it. It really touched me a lot and made me start thinking about my life and the things I have done in my life. So I came to this site after doing a little more researching on you . It was great finally somewhere where I could possibly fit in. So I posted here for a few months then I started partying again and got involved in my same lifestyle. However I would use this site to get me back on track and I have to say , after coming here I do think about my life daily. Well anyways , my point is that I came back and I am not so pleased I feel a little cast out which is a shame. There is no category for HOMOSEXUALS any more. This was the only place I could come and feel I got help with myself. I am a former transsexual prostitute, but I can not even express how I feel or ask advice because theres no where for me to post ANYTHING. So I decided I would post this and write a note to you , it is your site maybe you could change this. I mean God did not turn anyone away nor did he judge anyone. So if anyone wants to judge me for my sexuality or anything else in my life open your Bibles and take another look at God's word. I feel completely cast out and thrown out by the "Christians" once again in my life. This is how most gay people do feel , like the "Christians" , just shun them and this is just one more example of that! So Sad!

Hi, The only thing that comes to my mind is when Jesus is asked about Divorce. Mathew chapter 19:11 here is what our Lord and Savior said "Not everyone can accept this word, but only who it has been given. for some are eunuchs because they were born that way; others were made that way by men; and others have renounced marriage because of the kingdom of heaven. The one who can accept this should accept it."
Now alot of speculation could be inferred by the word they used to translate into eunuch. Did it refer to someone with both genders? or with out a gender. The word oikitarion is the greek for the word that really means the body of an angel... its sexless.. no gender, and why the angels don't marry.. in Jude its the dwelling the angels left to mingle with us in Gen 6 with regard to the Flood and Nephilim ,,, I won't tell you what to do, but someone in your shoes has a difficult spiritual path more than any of us has to deal with.
If I were you, I would do a self survey of all that your good at, and Give it all to God...try to remain abstinent. I'll pray for you and I do not judge you
:)
Hey, there, ex-tsescort;
It's good to see you on the forums again. I understand your concerns, and am moving your post to a new forum, so that other people besides Shelley can respond.
I am so sorry that you think that we were trying to ostracize you, or anyone else struggling with homosexuality, by removing that forum from the boards. Let me assure you that was not our intention at all.
We decided to remove that forum because it was becoming a place where people were posting hurtful and derrogatory comments, which were offending some of our members and making it a place of discouragement, rather than a place of encouragement and support....too much tearing down rather than building up was going on, and we decided that it was doing more harm than good.
It certainly was NOT because we wanted to shun those in the homosexual community. It's ironic that you bring up the point of judging, because that is precisely one of the reasons why we decided to remove that forum...too many people judging others.
We are discussing the possibility of re-implementing that forum, but at the time, removing it was the best possible decision considering what these forums exist for, and the liberties that certain people were taking in that particular forum, not to help, but to hurt.
I hope that you understand. We certainly did not mean to ostracize you at all, and I'm so sorry if that's what it appeared to be. Our goal on these forums is to support and encourage anyone who is struggling, and we would never shun anybody simply because of the nature of their struggles, or their sexual preference.
I also really want to encourage you to continue seeking the Lord. Like I said, we are discussing the possibility of another homosexual forum, or perhaps a sub-forum. Either way, I am sorry for the misunderstanding.
In Christ always

Ps. 108:13 Through God we shall do valiantly, for it is He who shall tread down our enemies
Thank you so much and thank you for enciuraging me to seek the Lord it is so hard to resist temptaions sometimes , I feel like I should lock myself up in my house! I dont know! :(
Hi ex-tsescort,
Hiding yourself in the house won't accomplish anything, it isn't gods desire that we hide in shame, but that we accept the forgiveness he offers us and understand that his love is eternal and unconditional. God loves you so much, Christ died on the cross so that you could live. I know life is hard and I know temptation can sometimes be so easy to fall into, but Christ has given us another way, through HIM we have a freedom like never before and all of our troubles, past sins, circumstances are thrown as far as the east is from the west! (Psalm 103:12)
Also I would recommend reading Matthew 6:25-34. Something that helps me a lot as well is praising God. We release blessings in our life when we praise our heavenly father! I listen a lot to AIR1,(air1.com) it is an awesome inspirational Christian radio station, you can go to it online (air1.com) or find what station plays it in your area. You are in my prayers.
In order to marry a soldier you have to be one at heart.
