On Born Eunuchs as Homosexuals

"For there are eunuchs who were born that way from their mother's womb; and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by men; and there are also eunuchs who made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. He who is able to accept this, let him accept it."

Matthew 19:12

Round 'n Round

 

All the post comments on different gay Christians blogs all say the same thing; "You can't be a Christian because of what Leviticus says, because of what Paul seems to be saying, because Sodom..." If these kind individuals really had an interest in what the Bible says about homosexuality outside of the casual reading, they would have already looked it up with the countless resources that are out there before speaking in error. You know no matter what kind of rebuke by fellow Christians, attacks by non-believers, and explaining of scripture correctly by knowledgeable Christians these people get, they'll go right back on another gay Christian comment thread and say the same thing like nothing was ever said to them.

Patience, like vino, is something I don't do anymore. I'm hoping the "love covers a multitude of sins" Scripture will cover me like the hood of a '68 Mustang for not having the patience with the anti-gay religious, that as a Christian, it's something I should have plenty of, but I'm sorry, I just don't.

Recently, I reached out to a gay blogger who was struggling to make peace with God. He was in such turmoil because he just couldn't make peace with being gay and what he felt was him not being in the place God wanted him to be. He contacted me back, and what he said frustrated the Hell out of me because it seemed he didn't want to get out of his struggle. Then I realized something: I can't MAKE him, or ANYONE, believe God loves you if you're gay. No matter how many arguments I refute or how well I explain the Bible verses, if you've set in your mind that your homosexuality is a stumbling block between you and God? That's where your heart will be, also. 

I believe some people are just so branded by how they believe, so entrenched in what they were taught, they will never change and are a forever lost cause. Fighting a paper dragon cut out by the Church they named "Homosexuality" and not a real spiritual of the flesh one from the Word of God that doesn't exist and never has.

I do believe God does miracles in a human heart; He is a wonder-working God after all, but you have to make a conscious effort to loosen the tethers around your mind so the heart can follow.
