Gay Christian International

Do any of you ever worry that your relationship with Christ is weaker because your gay (or did you feel like that when you first realized you were)? I seem to feel like that ALOT lately now that Im accepting the fact... :/ from saritakatherine

I believe that wherever there is love in a relationship there is God,especially if that relationship is Christ centered. A relationship does not fall apart because it has two people of the same sex but because those two people aren’t going to work at that time and place or maybe they just aren’t the right people for each other….Our relationships are not inferior or weaker than heterosexual ones.


Acts 2:1-13 New International Version (NIV) The Holy Spirit Comes at Pentecost

When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues[a] as the Spirit enabled them.

Now there were staying in Jerusalem God-fearing Jews from every nation under heaven. When they heard this sound, a crowd came together in bewilderment, because each one heard their own language being spoken. Utterly amazed, they asked: “Aren’t all these who are speaking Galileans? Then how is it that each of us hears them in our native language? Parthians, Medes and Elamites; residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,[b] 10 Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya near Cyrene; visitors from Rome 11 (both Jews and converts to Judaism); Cretans and Arabs—we hear them declaring the wonders of God in our own tongues!” 12 Amazed and perplexed, they asked one another, “What does this mean?”

13 Some, however, made fun of them and said, “They have had too much wine.”


I have a question that's been bothering me for some time now.. (I've been getting mixed messages from Gay Christians who I have trusted and respected). Is it alright to have gay sex... since most states don't allow marriage? If so, does it give us a license to do what ever we want with whoever we so choose? and if that's true, how are we any better the kind pagans? is there some basic code of conduct we should follow? Or is oral sex permissible, so long as you are young and horny? thank you from klaiby

I think as Christians we should treat our bodies as “temples of the holy spirit” which for me means only having sex with people I am in love with and am having a long term relationship with. That doesn’t mean I haven’t slipped from that path but as a general rule that’s what I stick to.

I however won’t tell someone not to have one night stands (as long as they are being safe) because it is not my body, it is theirs.

Sex and sexuality are gifts from God and they are there to be enjoyed. As long as you are safe and happy revel in one of the many pleasures in life that God has given us. If you don’t feel like you are honouring God with your sex life then change your behaviour.

‘… My choice withdrew you from the world, therefore the world hates you.’ – John 15:19

Persecution is part of the Christian walk. Every believer in Christ Jesus is persecuted. Many times we are persecuted not by those outside the fold but by sheep within the fold of Christ. Jesus says that it…


PRAYERS FOR THE U.K. PLEASE!

There is going to be a free vote tomorrow on whether civil partnerships will be upgraded to marriage for LGBT couples in the U.K.

While weddings in churches (aside from Unitarian and Quaker) will be off the cards for a while this is a big step forward to full equality!

Prayers for wisdom, for thought and for open mindedness for those voting in Parliament tomorrow! And prayer for those of us here to accept the outcome, whatever it may be.


The Shepherd’s, Gay’s and the Church of England.

On Christmas Eve I went to nine lessons and carols at church. The priest is the lady who was my school vicar when I was little, a close family friend and my father will be taking over the parish while she goes on a sabbatical. Her Sermon was about how God made himself accessible via Jesus. How God made sure the first people to see him where the outcast Shepherd’s who would have found it hard to feel “comfortable” and “accepted”  anywhere but the stable where Christ was born.

A few weeks before we were making Christingles for the big Christingle services for the schools. We had been talking about how I much missed going to church every Sunday due to work:

“Well the government said they would give an opt out clause for those who didn’t want to work on Sundays but they went back on it, which is of course why I am writing to them about the gay marriage issue, it will start with civil marriage but they won’t stop at that will they? Soon they will want church marriages even if they don’t believe in God.”

And I just had to sit there with my mouth firmly shut and clutching my seat for a good five minutes to stop me from kicking off and walking out.

This is the woman who will refer me to the ordinands office when I feel I am ready to go forward for ministry. 

The woman who is meant be supportive of me. Now I know if she knew everything about me, she would not make me feel “comfortable”. 

Seeing that God made such a big effort to make the outcast’s of that time to feel comfortable in the presence of his Son so they would want to meet him….I don’t think church is following his example when it comes to the outcast’s of today.

You know all those wonderful Conservative parents who proceed to abandon, kick out, or cut off their children for any reason (including, but not limited to a child’s sexuality)?
Well here we go:

“But if anyone does not provide for his own, and especially for those of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.”
