And of course<br> behind all that is the underlying assumption that biblical Christian<br> morality is part of the problem. That being the case, I hardly think<br> the gentle rebuke in that letter makes someone a "godless soul";<br> however, perhaps you would like to put the same question to Joe and<br> Marion Allen, whose son Bart was murdered by his homosexual live-in<br> lover when he was trying to come out of homosexuality.<br> <br> <br> <br> Allen's parents, Joe and Marion, founded Hope for the Broken Heart<br> after his tragic murder. They have spoken at numerous Exodus<br> International events since then.<br> <br> <br> <br> When Bart was struggling with unwanted homosexual feelings, he sought<br> out a counselor for help. The counselor, however, told him he was born<br> gay. (No doubt Saundra Lund and Mr. and Mrs. Clayton would consider<br> that to be good counsel.) According to Joe and Marion, "When Bart came<br> out of her office, he looked like he had been given a death sentence. I<br> know this lady did not realize what she was doing . . . but she had<br> told him he was born gay. She told him we were doing him an injustice<br> by telling him this was wrong and he needed to go back [to the<br> homosexual lifestyle].<br> <br> <br> <br> Bart Allen did go back to homosexuality, but he couldn't accept it. His<br> lover, however, refused to accept the fact that Bart wanted to leave<br> homosexuality behind. While Bart was asleep, his partner strangled him<br> to death with a dog leash.<br> <br> <br> <br> You can see and hear Joe and Marion Allen's testimony here (first of two parts):<br> <br> <a href="http://www.vimeo.com/2532972">http://www.vimeo.com/2532972</a><br> <br> <br> <br> No doubt it is easy for people who have not struggled with this sort of<br> thing in their own families to pass judgment on "godless"<br> Bible-thumpers from a distance, especially in a way that very<br> conveniently allows one to think of one's self as open-minded, loving,<br> accepting, tolerant, etc.<br> <br> <br> <br> But the fact of the matter is, when homosexuality is embraced by people<br> who experience such temptations, it becomes a deathstyle for them in<br> the fullest and truest, most tragic sense of that word. Especially for<br> those of us who are struggling with such problems in our own families,<br> we don't have the luxury of sitting back and telling people who are<br> headed for damnation that they are just fine the way they are. If<br> speaking such truth makes one a "godless soul" then I pray that such<br> "godlessness" might flourish.<br> <br> Eimy Reekenxlime<br> ===========================<br> Can you handle the truth?<br> <a href="http://vipergalsinwind.blogspot.com/">http://vipergalsinwind.blogspot.com/</a><br> <br> <br> <br> _________________________________________________________________<br> Hotmail® has ever-growing storage!
