Fears 2
Well, I read some other guy's blog today, hearing about his belief that homosexuality is equivalent to theft and pedophilia, a sin that must be repented or perish. Those following would know that I've written Samus Aran and Princess Zelda as a gay couple and I don't think it a sin. However, when I read the words of someone who seems more Biblically knowledgeable than me, I begin to doubt myself. I'm not gay, but I harbor no animosity to those who are and don't think they're sinning. Yet, I can't help but ponder if I'm wrong, that I've been hoodwinked by a society that is dumb. I'm just venting some feelings here, feelings of fear that I'm wrong and will be punished for my wrongness. I wish that I'd just have focus on God's love, but my anxiety drifts me to the judgment, both of God and of people.

Daniel, I many not be a scholar in the bible, but want to let you know what I feel about this. God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son to die for us. He loves us so much, that he gave his only son to die for us. What a powerful message. People are going to judge others, that is what we do, from the little to the big issues. Ultimately God is the only judge. I would also hazard to say for those who have judged others, how surprised they will be when they get to heaven and see the people they have judged so harshly. God loves us all not just a sect of people. God loves you also and it is okay to have doubts, but trust in yourself Daniel. You are a kind and caring human being who is passionate about certain things and I laud you on that. Who you are and what you believe are just as important and valid as that young man who was judging so harshly and using the bible to do so.
ReplyDeleteLet me just say that after living in Seattle, I know gay people. Those people go to church every Sunday, they worship the same God, they love God as much as you and I do, they work for God by volunteering in their communities. I have many of them say they were born this way, and I have heard their struggles of acceptance of who they are. I believe for them this is true. Did God make a mistake by creating these people? I have a hard time believing so. I believe God loves them as much as he loves us. They are his children just as you and I are. God wants all his children up in Heaven with him, and he works at hard everyday so that will happen.
I do not know if this helps you at all, but what I can say is please trust in yourself, don't change who you are, be true to yourself, listen to yourself, that inner voice, and you will be fine. God loves you, hold onto that.
