People who are same-sex attracted are not the only ones that may be deprived from having a sex life. I have been a widow for 4 years, and before that, my husband was not capable of having sexual relations for many years. God is gracious and has helped me remain sexually moral. When we are committed to Him, he will help us honour Him by remaining sexually pure no matter what our sexual orientation is.

Community is so important and only in small groups can those relationships grow.

I am Christian, female, heterosexual, 66 yrs old, never married (not my choice) and thus celibate and alone. So as far as people who say they can’t live without sex, yes you can. As far as the church, the body of Christ, my experience is that they unfortunately tend to ignore single, never married, childless adults; presumably because of lack of common life experiences.

it's often a bit easier for women than for men, although I realize not everyone is wired the same; Estrogen can cause issues but testosterone is a very strong factor in libido and of course, culturally it's less frowned upon for men to be randy than it is for women. I'm not excusing men for sleeping around at all in this, just pointing out the biological differences in motivation concerning sex. On the non-sexual aspect,, I feel sorry for men in the sense of they are not culturally allowed to be very physically affectionate with other people. Some men do hug but in general, it's more frowned upon for men to be affectionate the same way women are expected or at least allowed, to be. The culture looks upon men that are affectionate either as a wimp or a pervert for being as affectionate as the average woman is. Now, that said, testosterone may factor in here (biological and cultural both) and cause many men not to really need all of the compassionate affection that women do (and especially needing to cry on someone's shoulder). But emotionally, I honestly think a lot of men who turn to drugs and alcohol are really needing to be held and genuinely loved. It can't heal all wounds but it's a normal human need. Human beings need human touch (it's been proven medically) but separating the lines between innocent vs sexual affection have been blurred and confused (at least in our culture/society). I'm not sure what the solution for this is. I can tell you that many married men would have a problem asking their wife "I need to be held". If you need to be held, you need to be held. But I get men aren't comfortable asking anyone, even their wives. Prayers for all men on this issue!! Ladies, please try and understand.

In 1997, while living at 5412 berks street in Philadelphia with my elder sister, one day I left the apartment on foot to a dollar store to buy two meatball platters with spaghetti that the store sold for a dollar. I went into the dollar store and made the purchase. As I was done paying for the things I bought, I headed for the exit door. On my way to the exit door, a white lady was ahead of me to the exit door who had likewise purchased some items from the store. As I headed home on foot, she was going in my direction and in front. Suddenly, she dropped a small black wallet but kept on walking not realizing the wallet was not with her. People walking on the street were coming from behind and in front of us. Having realized this, I felt that if I walked over the wallet, the next person behind or in front coming my way that happens to see the wallet, could pick it up and decide not to return it to the rightful owner. Furthermore, I thought that if she got home and realized the wallet was not with her, she would be distraught depending on the content of the wallet. So I picked up the wallet and ran after her, yelling mam, mam. She turned around and I handed the wallet to her saying, “Mam you dropped this”. After collecting the wallet from me, she asked me a question by saying, “Who taught you how to do this? I said to her “JESUS CHRIST”. Then she said, “Thank you”, turned around, and went her way. As soon as she turned around and kept walking, a strong wind like a tornado came down from heaven and encircled me where I stood, and while in the midst of the whirlwind, it felt like someone was giving me the hug of a lifetime with tremendous peace. The peace was indescribable. Words would do it no justice. The wind was not destructive in nature but strong and gentle. People walking by did not realize what was happening because it was spiritual and only visible to me that day. Enveloped by the whirlwind, I felt like staying there forever because it felt glorious, so peaceful and full of such love indescribable that it was mind blowing as it happened. Next, the glorious Father from the excellent glory spoke out of the whirlwind with these words, “I AM WELL PLEASED BECAUSE YOU GLORIFIED MY SON JESUS CHRIST”. As soon as God the Father spoke out of the whirlwind these words, He instantly filled my heart with indescribable joy. The whirlwind remained with me for about 16 to 17 seconds after I heard those words with the arms of the Father in the whirlwind wrapped around me and then gently it dissipated from the scene and went up to heaven. This happened in broad daylight between the hours of 10 a.m. and 11a.m near city line avenue in Philadelphia. After this supernatural experience in a physical reality called time, I have never doubted the truth of the existence of God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Ghost as clearly presented in the Holy Scriptures.

You may have studiedthe Bible through and through but if you do not obey what God says and manipulate it to please your carnal desires as well as influence others and encourage to indulge in this abominable act is itself a sin. Obviously the devil will dilute the Word of God. Next, you will be saying the abortion and adultery is allowed as per the Bible for the modern times. Telling that it is offensive and hateful not to allow same-sex lust is blaming those true believers who have also studied the Bible, but more importantly been blessed by the Holy Spirit to know the undiluted, unabridged and unfiltered truth.

Marriage may not be for everyone, Jesus himself said this, but marriage is from God, it's God's invention. So wanting to be in marriage is not wrong, or seeking to be in marriage is not wrong. It's normal human desire, the only thing that can be bad is someone's reason for being in marriage. If your only motivation to be in marriage is sex for example, then it is wrong. But marriage in itself isn't wrong, because it was made by God for humans.

The last one felt easy to refute, at least in my own mind. That God's love can't be against relationships of love. Because there are lots of things and people we can love. We can love false idols, even turn people into idols, spouse, children, family, friends. But just because you love something or someone so much, even if it feels genuine and intense and makes you feel good, does not mean it's a permissible love. Scripture even specifically talks about loving two masters, or loving God and mammon. Loving something or someone is not a free for all. If it's the sort of love that falls outside of God's intended purpose for love, then He very clearly condemns it, and we see evidence of this throughout scripture.

This was fantastic! I love Rebecca's heart, love for the Scriptures, but especially her love for Jesus. I simply wanted to add that even though Paul probably had a gift of celibacy, Paul had, and also needed, relationships with others within the church. Oh, yes. One comment from Rebecca which I give a hearty "amen" to was when she was talking about love and how rarely we see this applied to marriage, or even child rearing. I always like to say, "before my husband is my husband, he is also a brother in Christ and I am treat him as I would other believers." This is why I tell people, we should be glad if our spouse loves Jesus more and "hates" me because if that happens I will be loved more than I could even imagine. Awesome, awesome conversation.

". . .THE MEN OF SODOM, both old and young, ALL THE PEOPLE FROM EVERY QUARTER, surrounded the house. 5 And they called to Lot and said to him, “WHERE ARE THE MEN who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us that we may KNOW THEM CARNALLY. 6 So Lot went out to them through the doorway, shut the door behind him, 7 and said, “Please, my brethren, DO NOT DO SO WICKEDLY! 8. . .I have two daughters who have not known a man; please, LET ME BRING THEM OUT TO YOU, AND YOU MAY DO TO THEM AS YOU WISH, .”" The issue wasn't just 'gang rape'. . . . Homosexuality is obviously the sin that called for God's condemnation. Additionally, as spiritually weak as Lot was to offer his two daughters, he still instinctively knew that the men of Sodom's (all the people from every quarter) desire for homo-sex incited his appeal to "do not do so wickedly." This was a whole other level of sin.

Love is a very vague term, I would say there is a vast difference between saying I love a woman, love a dog, love chocolate cake, love a book, love a movie, and finally love a favorite piece of furniture. If I have sex with my favorite book then having sex with it is not a proper proof of any real love for that item. It is not the emotion that is in question, it is the action towards that object where the problem lays. There are actions that are normal and still bestow a certain shade of love and there are actions that totally have nothing to do with a real definition of love. Sex can be done between people that love each other, and between people that have no emotional relationship.

Important topic! Was in a hurry so I ran through chatGPT to get initial pointers. Will now watch the video to see how correct the AI was. Posting here in case anyone else wants to review in concise version: 1. **Christians should just focus on the gospel of God's love.** - Dr. McLaughlin argued that God's design for Christian marriage is inherently tied to the gospel of God's love, and that true love cannot be separated from God's design for marriage and our bodies. 2. **Jesus was silent on same-sex relationships.** - Dr. McLaughlin pointed out that Jesus did define marriage in Matthew 19, referring back to Genesis, where marriage is described as a union between male and female. She emphasized that Jesus' teachings on marriage implicitly exclude same-sex unions. 3. **God's judgment on Sodom isn't judgment on same-sex relationships.** - Dr. McLaughlin noted that the story of Sodom in Genesis is often misunderstood and that historical interpretations within the church have consistently viewed it as condemning same-sex sexual relationships. 4. **The Bible's prohibitions on same-sex relationships are outdated and culturally specific.** - Dr. McLaughlin explained that while some Old Testament laws are not reiterated in the New Testament, the prohibitions against same-sex relationships are reaffirmed, indicating their continued relevance. 5. **Paul condemns exploitative same-sex relationships, not consensual ones.** - Dr. McLaughlin argued that Paul's writings in the New Testament do not make a distinction between exploitative and consensual same-sex relationships, and that the prohibitions apply broadly to all same-sex sexual relationships. 6. **The concept of sexual orientation is modern and not addressed in the Bible.** - Dr. McLaughlin acknowledged that while the modern concept of sexual orientation is not explicitly addressed in the Bible, the biblical texts still provide clear guidance on sexual ethics and relationships. 7. **The Bible's overarching message is one of love and inclusion.** - Dr. McLaughlin emphasized that true love, according to the Bible, involves adhering to God's design for marriage and sexuality, and that inclusion does not mean affirming all behaviors. 8. **There are examples of same-sex relationships in the Bible that are positive.** - Dr. McLaughlin refuted this argument by stating that the examples often cited (e.g., David and Jonathan) do not involve sexual relationships and should not be interpreted as endorsements of same-sex unions. 9. **The Bible's teachings on marriage and sexuality are not meant to be taken literally.** - Dr. McLaughlin argued that the teachings on marriage and sexuality in the Bible are meant to be taken seriously and literally, as they reflect God's design and purpose for human relationships. 10. **The church has historically changed its stance on other issues, so it can change on this one too.** - Dr. McLaughlin countered that while the church has indeed changed its stance on some issues, the biblical teachings on marriage and sexuality have remained consistent and are rooted in the unchanging nature of God's design.

Says one Christian sister to another: “You HAVE to love me.” I burst out in tears when l heard this…The problem of the worship and idolization of marriage in the church: it happens when we see a spouse or other human as a savior, not Jesus as our primary relationship. It happens when we give too much weight to earthly marriage rather than remember its use as a metaphor or symbol to represent Jesus’ love for His bride, or believers. This makes me think of nuns and priests, the idea being that they are single but ‘marry’ the Lord and lived in relationship with many other Christians (of course this is where many with same sex attraction had gravitated to). Yes as Christians we need to do SO MUCH BETTER loving each other, no matter marital status. It’s why church groups divided by ‘singles’, ‘married’, etc. were repellant to me in the past.

I also bought into the "critical" interpretation of the Sodom story (that it was really about hospitality etc). Bought if you read it carefully: Why did Lot offer up his daughters? Of course it was for sexual purposes - and therefore, what the crowd was after, in the story, was to have sex with the visiting men (who were really angels). So no, it´s not about "hospitality". It´s about sin. The "old school" interpretation is clearly the correct one.

I really appreciate Rebecca’s study in the Bible & her own candid sharing that makes her credibility in answering these questions valid. I agree in her answers & makes me want to keep focusing on loving those struggling with same sex desires especially in the body of Christ. Christ’s love for us trumps all that we may feel is lost. I agree our culture idolizes too much on relationship with others. Paul’s letter to the Philippians may apply to what I’m thinking: “Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith- that I may know him and the power of his resurrection, and may share his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, that by any means possible I may attain the resurrection from the dead.” Philippians 3:8-11 ESV

I have been obligated to deal with the argument against condemning the behavior but not the desire in this way: When we make a decision to follow Jesus, He does not ask us to give up anything - He asks us to give up EVERYTHING. I did a brief study of relevant scriptures just this morning, and He leaves nothing out. The point is, He requires our absolute love for Him to take pre-eminence. This includes everything and anything that takes first place in my heart other than HIM. To me, this extends not just to my homo-sexual actions, but the very genesis of those actions which are the homo-sexual or homo-emotional attractions. I see a dominance of thought in The Church which calls for celibate homosexuality - i.e. it's ok to have the feelings and not repent of those, as long as I do not act upon them. But Jesus says that it is the very desire for tings other than HIM which undermines our faith and our desire and ability to follow Him, so that specific underlying tolerance, or acceptance or allowance must also be forsaken. IOW, we cannot be celibate "gay Christians". We are either fully given over to HIM or we are not. It's tremendously difficult, and striving for the kingdom is agonizing at times, requiring the deepest death to self."... and few there be who find it." "So who can be saved?" (implying it must take someone super human). " With men it is impossible, but with God, ALL things are possible". This is how we do it, this is how we deal with SSA/homosexuality to its core - we cooperate with God The Holy Spirit. For some of us, this is what we must deal with as we agonizingly strive to enter the kingdom.

"It's partially a symptom of our idolatry of marriage in the church..." I wish this was not as true as it is. The church has completely idolized marriage to the point where you can't even serve in ministry unless you're married in certain churches. Thankfully my current church is not like that, but I have been in some that at least leaned that direction. And I have definitely felt like I am lesser than because I am not married and never have been. In fact I have found churches would rather you be divorced than never married, which goes directly against scripture.

I think this video has an interesting perspective. The video mentioned that one difference between affirming and non-affirming Christians has to do with an understanding of Biblical authority, and that may be true. I am curious what your thoughts are on an idea of accepting Jesus's teachings as authoritative while also recognizing Paul as a limited human. I don't think that everything Paul said needs to be seen as some sort of divine dictate because he was a particular person at a particular time. So maybe we could see Paul as more of a very significant and early commentary on Christianity rather than being a total moral authority
