]]> Comment on A Matter of Identity by Lester http://gladventist.org/blog/who-am-i-really/comment-page-1/#comment-16 Lester Mon, 26 Jul 2010 22:46:27 +0000 http://blog.gladventist.org/?p=20#comment-16 I agree with much of what was said. I'm a Bible believing E.G. White quoting SDA but when it comes to the topic of sexuality ...I've often been confused. Many heterosexuals I know appear comfortable in their own skins whereas I always have to be on the look out to guard against unChristian thoughts and acts. It seems that rather I want it or not...a major part of my identity is "the man who constantly wars with himself battling sexual demons". For 4 months I might be on top of the world in Christ having disavowed all homosexual acts and relationships but then later I'm a fallen warrior or once again a jusitifier of my unbiblical acts. I wish I had an identity outside that of titles like homosexual, husband, father, and the like. These are all use to describe people but who is the actual person? Who am I apart from these titles? I wish I knew who I am in God's eyes? What or who am I suppose to be? I know that the one title I want more than anything is that of "Christian" but this title is often the hardest one to obtain for it means modifying all others. No longer am I a husband but a Christian husband. No longer a father but a Christian father. I feel its not possible to put Christian with some titles like "Christian homosexual". I guess life is about choosing titles for yourself. Thanks for being there to talk too and for the article. Hopefully, God will equip me to get the title to be desired above all else. I would love to sit down and talk with God and ask him how I became what I am? Who did you create me to be? If I'm not what was intended...what is the path I should take to get there? I have many questions and I wish he were here to ask directly apart from all the "experts" and "biblical scholars" with differing opinions? It would be power for me to do it just to hear it right from his lips...the lips of the creator. I agree with much of what was said. I’m a Bible believing E.G.

]]> Comment on Trials and blessings from God by John Edwards http://gladventist.org/blog/benjamin-gay-experience-2/comment-page-1/#comment-12 John Edwards Sat, 26 Jun 2010 16:15:21 +0000 http://blog.gladventist.org/?p=3#comment-12 Hi, Ben, I'm just learing about how to use this blog! Great article. I identified with it on many levels. I have had one lover for 7 yrs, one 1 and one 6. My last partner was a wonderful guy. We were still in love when I had a dream from God and we broke up. I cried for fours days straight repenting and breaking up. I have been living alone now for 16 years. I still would prefer to have a roomate but I'm extremely picky. You are on the right track. Stay close to Jesus. Hi, Ben, I’m just learing about how to use this blog! Great article.

I could relate to so much of it on many levels. I thought it was wonderfully written and I aspire to be able to contribute something as effective as that in the near future. 'John' thank you for sharing. May God continue to bless you and guide you until He returns to take us home.
