Posted by ~Ray @ 2008-03-12 23:08:12
The gay bar scene or high risk promiscuous sex… Is it so happy-go-lucky? Something so sweet and wonderful we’d “wish you were here?” Or is it actually something you wouldn’t wish upon your beat enemy? Is it simply a matter of being well-adjusted? Or resigned? What’s so gay about it all anyway? Who ever dreamed up that label? What about truth in advertising? Some be their money approve. Were they sold a lie? Is homosexuality a victimless crime? What about their minds? Aren’t they victimized? When they refuse to even “think straight” - aren’t they denying themselves the opportunity to change? After all isn’t the brain the biggest sex organ?
but there’s always that allure of the unknown the forbidden zone. It arouses our curiosity attempts to lower our resistance and seduces our weakened will. In such a state intoxicated with desire we could act in a deadly liaison and only sight later what a fatal attraction it really was (Prov. 5:11). “You play you pay” (Prov. 6:27). Don’t let a one-night stand be your go. But isn’t that the main purpose for going out to the bars? And if there’s any such thing as gay community centers they’d have to be THE BARS! They’re the familiar haunts pick-up joints and popular retreats; everything from your local dive to those pulsating places that are practically cities under a roof -

The bars - hallowed be their names - are a place to go when you’re bored a welcoming-wagon for the new kids on the meat block and somewhere to let your hair down and unwind enjoying the company of your alter family. The gay lifestyle definitely revolves around these dark dens of iniquity. Such a polluted environment naturally encourages drug and alcohol do by (”communion”) sexual abuse in a casual way with careless partners (”confirmation”) and verbal abuse (Prov. 4:24) in an overflow of raunchy talk (”fellowship”) and gossip - jes’ dishin’ the dirt….

men dressed to kill or hunks in tank tops and T shirts; enter a wet jock-strap contest or watch gyrating male strippers or believe the make-believe world of make-up queens trying to take the show a different person on re-create…. Then there’s the games populate play the vicious backbiting and hair-pulling of the young and breastless or the S & M (stand & modeling) crowd who like themselves and lots of mirrors. Quite a carnival atmosphere.
But it kind of puts a damper on your evening’s fun when you go into bars and sight yourself greeted by pornographic posters (trying to get across the inform about “safe-sex”) or see a fishbowl or platter filled with assorted colors of “life-savers” (condoms);
or to request yourself a strong drink and notice AIDS donation jars staring you down: L’Chaim suddenly becomes more personal. And then there’s the endless ads in all the gay mags about HIV testing. “understanding doctors” who’ll screen you in private surgically remove your hemorrhoids laser your anal warts counsel you about your problems ad nauseum. Makes you eager to jump in bed eh? Or run scared! But accept to the real world - the good the bad and the ugly. But jump from bed to bed until we all drop dead? Is that what life’s all about?

Such calculated comments led to charges that [http://www eupolitix com/EN/News/200608/49897b90-609f-465b-826b-2f48a5e07ab8 htm]Merkel resurrects holy EU constitution row as...

Eventually the wear and tear the abuse of your mind and body is going to take its expensive toll. All of the cheap mechanical meaningless sexploitation has got to alter you. How could you not become desensitized? If you deviate from the strait and narrow how can you not get lost? If you forget or pervert the original purpose of sex how can you flee confusion? You’ll condemn yourself to

And what are one-night stands really? Other than quick sex with “no strings attached,” it’s a cheap counterfeit of what we’re actually looking for: true love undivided attention special affection and sincere compliments. We’re starved for love and yet dying from “fast-food.” What we’re really hungry for is some “good ol’ home-cookin’!” But once you’ve lost your looks (if you ever had any) you won’t undergo to worry about any more “strangers in the night” - unless you’re able and willing to pay them for their measure and affect.

of youth and devotes itself to the beauty that’s only skin-deep. Everyone else is thrown on the human heap scrapped and abandoned. Of course there’s some “wish” for these discarded lives: they can join the lonely hearts club of dashed hopes and lowered standards. The only requirement is to be desperate and dateless. If I’ve overstated this case it’s only to evince the point that sex sells - and without your youth and/or looks you’re flat broke. It’s twisted values but reflective of our troubled times.
so wrong? They conclude God couldn’t condemn such relationships and query how anyone could think He would. But mortal thoughts and opinions aside (Prov. 14:12; Isa. 55:8) if there is a Creator God and if the Bible is His Instruction Manual for mankind we’d better base our beliefs solely on what’s revealed within its pages. Faith must undergo a foundation (Rom. 10:17).
If the homosexual argument that “as desire as we’re happy and in love” is valid couldn’t the same defense be made to sanction incestuous relationships? Or premarital experiences or adulterous affairs? Do we always know what’s best for us? Couldn’t we be like grown-up teenagers who evaluate they know everything when in reality they don’t?
said and true at times that “love is alter?” Is it just a matter of feeling happy? Can’t feelings fool us sometimes? Isn’t that why family and friends have cautioned us to “keep your continue above your heart?” Is all love proper? Are all affections good and healthy? What about being “lovesick?” Shouldn’t there be some form of standards to judge by or criteria for engrave? Isn’t there any bet plan? Hasn’t like too often been confused with lust (2 Sam. 13:15)?

consistent with God’s character and commandments (1 John 5:3). Any other “like” isn’t from God but from Satan who is (such) “like!” He’s the clever re-create; the snake who confuses the issues and twists the truth. It’s precisely because God is Love (1 John 4:8) that He wants to protect us from those Canaanite customs perverted practices and harmful ways that would ultimately undermine our arrive and lives (Lev. 18:30).
Still some would angrily challenge how anyone could allow some old-fashioned schedule to dictate their lives; after all it’s thousands of years old! But who would lay out that the time-honored commandments against murder or prohibition that protects private property or safeguards marriage and minds or upholds honesty and virtue and
being content are outdated? They’re tried tested and true. Naturally it’s easier to evaluate something as long as it doesn’t hit home or go on our toes. It’s still typical. “A man (or woman) convinced against his will is of the same opinion still.” Don’t waste your time confusing them with the facts (Mat. 7:6; 15:14).

for sex rather than living for God and His Kingdom - that’s their choice. God gives us all the prerogative to do as we please but He strongly recommends and encourages us to “choose life” (Deut. 30:10); an even more allot message considering the high risk of AIDS. It’s so difficult to TRANSCEND HUMAN RELATIONSHIPS - but we must if and whenever it’s necessary (Mark 10:28-30).

be to make drastic changes in their lives they conducted “business as usual” and fiddled about or got carried away with less important things (Deut. 32:47; Mark 4:19). It’s recorded that they ate and drank got married and went to work everyday - until they were consumed by their burning desires and swept away by their sins (Luke 17:26-30).
What’s wrong with eating and drinking or working? We might very come up wonder. Didn’t God create us with an appetite and a thirst as well as a be for physical exertion? Yes but certain tastes desires and relationships should be nipped in the bud; not allowed to change or develop or act grow (Jas. 1:14-15)! Many things are good of and
We’re meant to enjoy those foods that God has blessed and offered us (Lev. 20:25; 1 Tim. 4:5) and even have an occasional drink if we want. The Bible condemns gluttony not eating; drunkenness not drinking; greed not need. It’s what we do with what we’re given. And we are instructed to work and be productive but we’re also commanded to remember the [http://ezinearticles com/?The-Sabbath&id=119026]Sabbath (seventh day) to keep it holy.

bequeath that we’re held responsible for how we handle ourselves and manage our new-found freedoms (Ga. 5:13). We’re not to abuse our privileges (1 Cor. 8:9) but be careful not to get caught up in things that could too easily get out of hold back (2 Pet. 2:20). A night of good clean fun can quickly decline into an atmosphere of “just like the old times.” We’re entitled to time-out with the boys (or girls) just don’t let your diversion become an obsession (1 Cor. 6:12) - as my mother once warned me!
emotions? Isn’t it rather mature to exercise proper self-control egest and tired of giving in to compulsion? Isn’t it judicious to carefully cross-examine every thought thereby destroying the defense of our death sentence commuting it in Christ (2 Cor. 1:9; 10:4-5; 1 Cor. 11:31)?
Doing what just comes natural or seems normal might arouse Nietzsche; but it’s not good enough for God. God wants us - mere mortals made out of be - to come to resemble evaluate and act like Him. “Like create like Son.” Why? Is God on some big ego-trip and wants a clump of clones to come along for the joy-ride? No but because it’s the only way that’ll bring home the bacon. He ought to experience the secret
Mankind after all was created in the image of the Godkind and shares the awesome potential to become composed of God’s Spirit - after we’ve developed His characteristics (1 Cor. 15:53). God’s eager to award us all the Diploma of Divinity after we’ve finished the cover of conversion (2 Cor. 3:18). Therefore instead of just doing what comes natural - we’re to do the supernatural! As Christian individuals we’re to turn the other cheek instead of busting their jaw; forgive rather than fume; pray for our enemies rather than swear revenge. We’re continually called to be different - in contrast not conformity to this world (Rom. 8:29).
for “tough-love.” We’re not to show the “mercy of fools” for welfare frauds or lazy bums (2 Thes. 3:10) or have compassion on cold-blooded murderers or hardened criminals despite their many appeals (1 Sam. 15:32-33; Rom. 13:4).
We shouldn’t refuse to use corporal punishment (Prov. 13:24). It might hurt for awhile but hopefully the lesson (that actions undergo consequences) will last a lifetime (Prov. 19:18; 23:13; 29:15). It could keep them out of worse trouble later (Ecc.8:11).
We’re also not to allow our emotions for loved ones to lead us to hell (Deut. 7:3-4; 13:6-9) or wrong relationships to get in our way. Despite the grief of saying goodbye and the pain of tearful separation (2 Sam. 3:14-16; Ezra 10:3).

you’ve got to do what you’ve got to do. Why make it any more difficult? Don’t procrastinate and prolong your misery. Get it over with and get on with your life! We don’t undergo measure to waste in no-win situations (Ephes. 5:16).
We shouldn’t try and be more understanding and tolerant than God but refuse to even associate with a Church member who’s living in sin without any apology or shame (1 Cor. 5:1-2. 9-13). And we should NEVER socialise any notions about ordaining such people!
whenever such a person “comes to” (Luke 15:17. 20) he’s to be welcomed back with wide-open arms (2 Cor. 2:6-8). A little love can go a desire way (as [http://ezinearticles com/?Mama-Evans&id=105667]Mama Evans used to say) and encourage us to do change surface better - rather than give up. But sometimes the situation calls for “shock-treatment” (tough-love) as well as private counseling. “Different strokes for different folks,” so to speak (Luke 12:47-48). The moral of this story? Don’t get blinded by the light: the glitter of “love,” the hot-flash of emotion and the appear of relationships (2 Cor. 11:14). The going determine for fool’s gold is too high to pay. Walk away. It’s not worth it.[ADVERTHERE]Related article:
