Hello ALL:
I know that it's been quite a while since I have posted anything. Several of you have been asking, [When] will my next post be ... WELL, HERE WE GO :o)
To be quite honest with you, I was in the process of writing a post on yesterday and was interrupted by a conversation with a few young people ((teens/young adults)). There were several questions that was asked of me followed by a few statements. I would like to share a portion of that conversation with my readers. As I share the question(s) that was posed to me, I ask that you give your honest opinion, share your thoughts, scriptures, etc. After I read your comments, I will then share with you all, What My Response was to these questions.
"How do you control or Can you control WHO you LOVE or fall INlove with?"
"Even if the person is Married, Doesn't GOD understand that you LOVE this person?"
"Why is it a SIN to LOVE someone that the "church" says that you shouldn't love?"
The conversation got a lil deeper and detailed and caused these questions to arise:
Example Given: A married man falls for a woman who is not his wife, they're not sleeping together, however, they share very intimate conversations by phone when the opportunity is there. ((What is so wrong with this, especially if they are NOT physically sleeping together?))
2nd Example: A woman falls in love with another woman, she's fully aware of what the Bible says about same-sex relationships, however, they're not sleeping together, but their feelings are quite strong for one another, and the time they spend together is innocent. ((What is so wrong with this, especially if there is no sexual contact?))
3rd Example: A woman was married, divorced her husband, moved on and married another man, they now have children, however, she realizes that she (still) has feelings for her first husband. Her Ex-husband wants her back, but although, she still loves him, she is very much in love with her New husband. But when she gets with her EX, they end up sleeping together. ((What is so wrong with this, After All, he is her FIRST husband?))
Ok, so now can you all understand, HOW my original post has been placed on (hold)? :o) I am grateful for young people who don't mind sharing what's on their minds. With all that's going on in the world and IN THE CHURCH, I can totally understand WHY they would ask such questions.
Like I stated, I will give MY THOUGHTS on this matter a little later on. In the meantime, please share YOUR thoughts. Everyone Be Blessed! :o)
