closer to thee my lord

hey guys, el serracho! here, long time reader, first time poster..or at least it may seem that way. i've been hiding out at an undisclosed location reading the defeatists and my local corporate "alternative" weekly which brings me to today's fun. as is often the case the best part of our local weekly rag is the letters section where i found this tidbit. in the midst of a harangue about the evils of gayness a loophole (so to speak).

Homosexuality is unnatural; defined by the Bible as a sin (missing the mark of God’s requirement); and is unhealthy physically, mentally and socially for those who choose to live that lifestyle. Everyone is born with tendencies to act contrary to what is moral, right and good. We all have urges to control, reasons to deny ourselves and thoughts to bring captive to the obedience of Christ. Whatever happened to repentance? We are all sinners required to live a life of repentance—a changing of our mind, a deciding to do what is right and good, a denial of our sinful desires. I would choose the term “repentant homosexual,” rather than “ex-gay” or “straight-identified.” But why the labels anyway? Jesus wants us to be who we are—in Him. In Him, we are a NEW creation, we are FORGIVEN, we are REDEEMED, we are a CHILD OF GOD. When we receive this as truth, accept ourselves in this light, and realize we are free to live a sinless life by grace and the power of the Holy Spirit, we walk by faith and live with dignity.

I think this is probably some sort of mystical body of Christ thing, but then again, it could be Ted Haggard. I think the problem with the thing is not the gay-ness, EL S and welcome back. It's the deadness. Anal with a guy who's been dead for two millenia plus or minus may not be gay, but it is definitely weird. Actually, it would most likely be a sex act with shards of bone and a pile of dust. So, sexual relations with a guy who's been dead for 2000 years would be basically onanism, which is perfectly normal for prepubescent boys. Hope that helps with the wife...

The line "through him, with him and in him" that the priest recites in Catholic mass always made me giggle. As for Lisa H. I guess she would agree with Donnie Davies.

Oh, and welcome back dude!
