One day the truck broke down (hottest day ever) so I called it in and limped the truck over to a rest area along side the turnpike. I was there at least an hour, and decided to go down to a swimming area take my boots off and soak my feet in the cold water. I wasn't there 5 mins when a 300 lb dude came up and asked "Are you working?" I was wearing a work shirt and said I technically am but my truck is broke down so I can really get to your equipment to fix it. he looked confused and said: "No, I meant are you Wooorking" and did an eyebrow raise It took me a second and I said no... Then I cleared my voice and said HELL NO! much deeper. Then I gather up my things and went back to the truck and sat in it with the windows up.
Whatever day that was, it was the day I decided I was definatly hetrosexual! I even had the extra lure of cash... and still decided I was not Gay.
Quote:And what appeal did being gay have on you, since you consider it a choice? More importantly, could you be gay, if you were to simply follow your urges?Going to Hell is a 'choice' as well, yet like being gay holds no appeal to me.

For example, if Willy Sutton (always handy to cite ol' Willy) in the midst of a bank robbery suddenly saw the light, I'd think he would immediately stop robbing the bank, and maybe even start distributing the boodle to the poorer looking tellers and customers present. I don't think an authentic conversion during an actual bank robbery would be evident later, and I also suspect an actual sincere conversion would be apparent by a total lack of subsequent bank robberies.
For you maybe.. for for the one hardwired to robbing banks, this maybe something he can not give up.
We all have weaknesses in sin. for me it maybe robbing banks. To you this sin should be easy to kick. Maybe for you, you like to kick little old ladies in the teeth and take their disloged dentures... again for me this would be an non issue but for you, your hardwired to steal dentures...
Again Romans 7 Paul was hard wired in his sin of choice and while he did not identify the sin it self the principle remains. We all have a sin we can not kick for some it maybe sex outside of a santified marriage for other it maybe greed, whatever your sin of choice is, know if Paul arguably the greatest apstole could not kick his sin then neither will you.
The solution? to turn your heart from this sin and learn to hate it, because it takes you from the God you love with all your being. That is all God asks of us. Not that we live sin free. If it were possible to live sin free then Christ would not have died on the cross.

Fuck christ!
Maybe that's getting your attention. So do you have feelings towards the same sex and consider it a choice to live with a female partner?
You personally, not christ, not Webster.
learn to wait your turn
