Letter from a Concerned Christian Cautioning Against the Gay Lifestyle
The following is a letter from a concerned Christian woman when someone she knew had decided to go and enter into a gay relationship after much angst.
I just have something personal to relay to you before you go on your journey.
Many years ago I wanted to get baptized, but because my husband didn’t want to I just dismissed it. But it just wouldn’t go away from my mind and then one day in a church service being bored, I found and read a paragraph in Deuteronomy. It is titled “The offer of Life or Death”
I’ll write it out so you don’t have to go and look it up.
Late Bloomer: Gay and OK
I’m what some might call a “late bloomer” in this department! (so advanced in all others, I can assure you!).
It wasn’t until I was 35 that I had feelings for another girl and had to suddenly deal with what I considered to be THE worst issue that could have landed on my plate!
Born and bread serious, bible-believing, fundamental Christian, and then having chosen that for my life’s center – church, Christian community, church leadership, etc. etc. – to have this issue as MY issue was just the worst!
Gay, Hiding Behind the Masks
Mine was a story of nothing as it seems. On the outside I appeared to be a great man of Faith, walking with God in pious devotion, but on the inside I was a man at war.
How does a young boy make sense of the fact when he looked at the Sears catalog, he would be turned on sexually when he got to the pages of the men in their underwear?
How about the the urge to be physically close to his male friends and men of significance in his life?
My Path to Live as a Gay Christian
I grew up with my three sisters in a Christian home. We lived in Te Aroha – population, three thousand. It was in this town that my parents separated and eventually divorced.
After the split Dad did visit with us on weekends and at least initially made an attempt to stay present in our lives.
It’s a difficult thing to maintain a sense of connectedness when you are miles apart and eventually we ended up distanced emotionally too.
Some would and have said, “That, Megan, is why you are gay. An emotional hardship involving your Father deserting you which had you, through a complex set of conscious and unconscious choices, reacting by rejecting men”.
