Extreme Good

If we are in the last days what else can we do but hope in God? Hold onto Him, Hold onto His Word, Keep faith in Our Saviour, Believe in His Love, and His Mercy, and Know that His Word is all Truth. Know that He gives us boundaries for a reason, and trust that He does this out of love for us, so we do not hurt ourselves. When He says, "He who commits sexual immorality sins against His own body." (1Cor 6:18) We have to know that He means our sexual purity for a reason.
So much pornography on the inter-net, where children try to get a hold of it. It is there for all the world to see. But we have to know, that God would have better for us, than to look at other people commiting sexual acts in public view. They hurt themselves by what they do. People who commit such acts are not happy, they are hurting individuals, who have been deeply wounded.
In earnest do I write this. In earnest do I pray that the light of God would shine on all people.
A big and difficult debate, is Prop 8 in California. Christians hold dear the sanctity of marriage, the deep emotional, spiritual and physical bond between a man and a woman who love each other. We can try and change God's words, but we only deceive ourselves when we try to make God's eternal words mean what we want them to. People call Christians bigots, full of hate. I feel no hatred for anyone. I only adhere to the principles of the bible, regardless if that makes me unpopular. I am not politically correct, I only want to be spiritually correct. People of the same gender may love one another, but the bible has something else to say about physical love between the same gender.
The people of California upheld marriage between a man and a woman. We are in litigation over the unconstitutionality of it. Same gender couples feel they have a right to be married same as other citizens. But can they have a viable marriage, a true bond being of the same gender, can they reproduce without outside help?
As I said, I feel nothing but compassion and love for all people. But I can't write or say what they want to hear simply because they will get their feelings hurt or call me a bigot.
Of course their feelings are real, but I have always felt that this kind of expression of love between the same gender is a matter for psychology. We cannot change our physical bodies, God made us how He made us, both man and woman from the begining. This being the case, then doesn't the problem lie within each one of us. As with other mental issues, if the problem is in the head, insisting on certain things that we know to be not physically possible, then doesn't that make them certainly impossible?
I have struggled with cutting for years, yet I am told it is a mental issue. I am told I suffer from borderline personality disorder. Yet, for "cutters" it is a sanity that has us in that behavior. To "cutters" the insane thing to do would be not to cut when we feel the strong urge to do so.
We may have certain urges that need certain physical manifestations, but that doesn't make it right or healthy. Certainly beliefs that have an abnormal attachement to them, should not be forced on the rest of society.
I always felt that if we left homosexuality in the DSM IV that we as a society could help those who struggle with these desires. We should not have accepted it only because of political pressure.
As I said, it is not I, but God that has written marriage for a man and a woman. Not I, or other Christians, but God from the begining. Just because we feel pressure to change does not make it right. It is not easy for any of us. Life is an extreme struggle, a delicate balance. If we can help each other in love to overcome the things that hurt us then I think that is better than trying to re-write laws, or force laws on everyone.
Love is the highest law. But that doesn't mean we accept what God has said we cannot accept. He wants each of us to move towards Him, into His light of love, with the help of the Holy Spirit, why would we still want to cut or be in relationships that are neither healthy or God-ordained.
I know that homosexuals struggle with suicide. They feel because society does not accept them. But maybe it is that the Holy Spirit is shining a light on them, and calls them into the light of His love. As with me, cutting makes me struggle with feelings of extreme guilt. But it is our sins that cause our guilt, God only wants us to move into His Glorious Light.
In extreme love do I write this. Heterosexuals are not better. But we all must let God love us, let Him move us into His joy and peace. For the good of humanity, we need God's blessing and love.
He accepts each of us where we are, cutters, homosexuals, theives, murderors, but He would not have us stay in the darkness. He wants to share His beautiful life with us. He died for us. He wants only our happiness, and extreme good.
