Rudolph Playing Reindeer Games

I'm going to say this one time and leave it here. With all the current debates being made of believing the Bible is accepting of homosexuality from hermeneutics, I was one of the first ones to make this argument on social media in 2012 before social media blew up and before that in prior website/blog forums going back to 1998. I was, and still am, the only one who makes this argument from the Pentecostal perspective. I have been blessed by incredible saints, from John Boswell to John Shore, and others who paved the way before me in showing I didn't need to compromise the Bible as the inspired and inerrant Word of God to affirm Christ-centered gay sexuality. I ran with that to do my own research, which I put out as my own work, with a ministry I was called to do before most theologians publicly came into the fray and when no name was attached to what was then still a new study of gay-affirming from THE BIBLE outside of a few in academia and the clergy.

I did what Paul told me to do, give credit where credit is due (Romans 13:7). Some have a hard time doing that with me.

I'm not going to lie and say I don't sometimes resent the blessings and praises others have received when I have said and debated the exact same things years before they came out and said it like it was never said before. I know they got it from me because what they say was unique to me, arguments and apologetics no one made before. Others making money off of it is further insulting when it should cost nothing. 

Let me just say I do understand and accept why I am not acknowledged. I wanted to remain anonymous by putting the message before the messenger. This makes no real human-to-human connection that many find important. This will never change because you will see the messenger with a life I believe will hurt the message. Many don't know, or care, about where the original source of the arguments came from and those who take from me will never say they did. I am constantly finding plagiarism. I guess it's easier to plagiarize me than to thank me. I understand, but don't excuse, them not wanting to admit they got their Biblical arguments from a website called "Rotten Queer Christian." I'm always blown away when I check how many times this place gets view hits from around the world (my favorites are little islands and areas deep in the heart of Russia. N.Y. loves me and I think I have an Aussie stalker I want to believe is a blonde lifeguard). Multiply those numbers for years and it would be incredible if you haven't heard about, or came across, this site if you did any serious study on homosexuality and the Bible.

My Lord tells me He knows what I do. Seeds I put out for the Kingdom that grow in secret that only He knows and that one day will be counted for me in Glory, but sometimes it would be nice to get a few more "Thanks for being one of the first few to put this out there."
