Right you are, Ron. He chose to be a hypocrite. He chose to condemn others for what they are naturally, in spite of the fact that he was just like them, naturally. He chose to live his life as a lie, attempting to repress the way he was born. And he chose it all because he was brainwashed with your book. Because of that brainwashing, seems like he made a bunch of bad choices. Perhaps now that his private life is no longer private, he'll be able to live with himself the way he really is, and maybe find some real happiness. Perhaps he'll choose to accept himself just as he is. You really believe that if he had the ability to choose who he was attracted to, he would choose men? Especially considering how many people are just like you, people who label his attraction as a "choice", so they can condemn and expel him? Tell us again, when you "chose" to be attracted to women? The date, or year, or period of your life when you made that "choice"? Hey, at least you didn't scream out "they don't deserve special treatment". No special treatment. Sex is a privilege not a right. The act is what makes the marriage relationship of a man and a woman intimately secure. If Rekers is married he committed the sin of adultery; if single, he engaged in the sin of fornication. He deserves punitive retribution and apparently it has begun. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Alan_Rekers Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

Like so many of our social issues, emotions are unavoidable and most often paramount. First, this story does not read like an abortion but more like a premature delivery. Following the birth, a viable life form was abandoned. That, to me, is unconscionable. As you know, I am pro-life and do not believe that abortion is humane at the onset. Be that as it may, the Italian law allowed for abortion but does not allow infanticide. Therefore, the doctor in charge of the abortion is legally responsible for the death of the premature baby. He should be prosecuted. That's how I see it. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.

An interjecting thought, in counseling troubled individuals I have noted that anger, fear, depression and guilt are primary factors for the internalized conflict. Research has shown that anger and fear are so closely tied together that it is very difficult to determine which came first. Therefore, I don't seek root causation. Likewise, anger turned inward or unexpressed is the major cause of depression. Guilt often follows depression, socially unacceptable expressions of anger or irrational fear. Frequently, guilt can produce the depression as in PTSD and other adjustment problems. My tactic was to initially start with the anger aspect because of its commonality. Of course, it is understood that only the client can reveal his problem. Back to the main topic. Manual Noriega is confirming the Scripture, you reap what you sew.

Here, see if this helps. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychological_projection Not really. I was just wanting your opinion on that particular scenario. I'll try again. This is a particularly difficult topic for me because of the abuse of the sexual harassment and hostile work environment laws. If you are uncomfortable in your workplace, as I have been, I believe it is your responsibility to make the change for your comfort. When you cry out that the other person(s) is/are at fault you are declaring yourself to be a victim. You can stay in the workplace and learn to combat the unpleasantness or you can search for and attain another job. In my opinion, the worse choice is to stand in one spot and cry it is not fair. The last three of the four agencies I worked for, at the management level, operated with policies that were contrary to my beliefs, convictions and Christian faith. Even though I disparately needed the money, I resigned and took my chances, trusting in the Lord to guide me. Another example is my participation in SC. A year ago I started participating with the goal of discussing Christian fellowship with other believers and those who were interested in Christian faith. I have 47 years experience with the sport and started the Christian Skydivers Association 23 years ago. I believe I have something to offer. The reality of SC is that I have been less than welcomed. OK, change of game. My choices were either to quit or fight back. I chose the latter with the operational tactic to maintain Scriptural perspective and not use profanity. I never considered complaining to the moderators for being treated unfairly. The key is to understand the enemy. Ephesians 6:12 (New American Standard Bible) For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.

Reread your post this morning. I do not understand the notation "110 y/o." However, you either made an astute observation or a lucky guess but, I am a man of many roles. One of my professors in grad school, many years ago, remarked that I have a multifaceted personality. One of the great truths I wish to pass on to others is that we all have subdued facets that we can develop. Don't just live one choice. The challenge is to explore all that God has in store for you. If you avoid sin the choices are unlimited. If you choose a sinful path it enslaves you and you get stuck there. You must be tenacious. When you make a new choice stick with it for one year. In so doing you will learn something new. Think of your skydiving activity as an example. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

Oh no, not by any means. God hates sin. Sneaking out cowardly? You said, homosexuality is sin. God hates sin. You just wrote it. Who is right, you or God? You and your God together, or are you just hiding behind your *God*?? Hard to take you seriously. I think you're just playing a role. A self induced one. Or, perhaps, you're 110 y/o. That'd explain a lot. In the Christina faith we say, hate the sin but love the sinner. Jesus died for our sins and we are all sinners. Through Him is the path out of our sin.

No, I don't think so. The key concept is the placement of responsibility for personal feelings. For example, do I feel bad because you say bad things about me? Or, do I feel bad because I don't know how to deal with what you say about me? Oh, OK. So if I am working at a place that is very discriminatory against women, and I claim that I have a problem because of the way they are treating me, then I am projecting. What I really should do is accept that my "problem" is being a woman and not expect others to take responsibility for that problem? Probably not much point in using this analogy, since you believe that homosexuality is a choice, and I do not. Actually I think that being a woman is as much of a choice (if not more so) than homosexuality, as I think it would be an easier "problem" to fix. (And I don't actually believe that being a woman or being homosexual is a "problem" for most.) Here, see if this helps. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychological_projection Psychological projection or projection bias (including Freudian Projection) is the unconscious act of denial of a person's own attributes, thoughts, and emotions, which are then ascribed to the outside world, such as to the weather, the government, a tool, or to other people. Thus, it involves imagining or projecting that others have those feelings. Projection is considered one of the most profound and subtle of human psychological processes, and extremely difficult to work with, because by its nature it is hidden. It is the fundamental mechanism by which we keep ourselves uninformed about ourselves. Humor has great value in any attempt to work with projection, because humor presents a forgiving posture and thereby removes the threatening nature of any inquiry into the truth. Paleo-anthropologically speaking, this faculty probably had survival value as a self-defense mechanism when homo sapiens' intellectual capacity to detect deception in others improved to the point that the only sure hope to deceive was for deceivers to be self-deceived and therefore behave as if they were being truthful. One modern, radical view of projections is that they are prerequisites for normal social functioning. Persons incapable of ascribing their own feelings to themselves have great difficulties in understanding them. Unfortunately, human beings have done great harm laboring under the delusions of projection. This is especially true for historical cases of projection between ethnic or cultural groups, for example in Apartheid or Nazism.[citation needed] In classical psychology, projection is always seen as a defense mechanism that occurs when a person's own unacceptable or threatening feelings are repressed and then attributed to someone else.[1] An example of this behavior might be blaming another for self failure. The mind may avoid the discomfort of consciously admitting personal faults by keeping those feelings unconscious, and redirect their libidinal satisfaction by attaching, or "projecting," those same faults onto another. Projection reduces anxiety by allowing the expression of the unwanted unconscious impulses or desires without letting the conscious mind recognize them.
