Is there a substitute for love? ?

Question

This sounds like a really stupid question, I know. I am a homosexual Christian and I am in love with someone. I feel that homosexuality is wrong, so I can't really pursue any kind of love. Is there some kind of substitue. I know that sounds weird. Thanks for the answers.

Answer 1

yess virbrators

and masterbation

Answer 2

I think that if you were as strong of a christian as you say you are you would not by a homosexual because according to most christian religion being g*y is a choice and you are not born that way. Any religion that would say its wrong to love someone is absurd. I would recommend looking at different forms of Christianity you can have it both you just have to look in the right place.

Answer 3

p**n and some lubricant.  

Answer 4

If there is then I have never heard of it. My beloved partner was driven from her family and expelled from their church when sh came out. She was welcomed to my church until someone started spreading little drops of poison and little words of hate. For the sake of our friends in the congregation we left, preferring to have a service outdoors or at my home in inclement weather.

Perhaps we were wrong theologically but we survived. This was our sunday song

Who would true valour see,

Let her come hither;

One here will constant be,

Come wind, come weather

There’s no discouragement

Shall make her once relent

Her first avowed intent

To be a pilgrim.

Whoso beset her round

With dismal stories

Do but themselves confound;

Her strength the more is.

No lion can her fright,

She’ll with a giant fight,

She will have a right

To be a pilgrim.

Hobgoblin nor foul fiend

Can daunt her spirit,

She knows she at the end

Shall life inherit.

Then fancies fly away,

She’ll fear not what men say,

She’ll labor night and day

To be a pilgrim.

Answer 5

you're gonna put a relgion in front of what you love and happiness? you're not going to get anywhere, just accept yourself as being a homosexual, and christian. homosexuality isn't wrong but if you feel you need to put your religion first, then okay.

Answer 6

Nothing is like love, being in love, knowing your loved and giving love back to that special person. Good luck.  

Answer 7

No, there is no substitute. Sorry, you are out of luck if you are going to put a religion that thinks it has a right to judge people and how they live their lives ahead of your happiness.  

Answer 8

Yours is not a stupid question. You are struggling, searching to find a way to be righteous. I commend you for your searching. I hope you are finding satisfactory answers - there is so much junk in R&S!

It sounds like there is some confusion between love and s*x. Those of us who have been married for a while can attest to the fact that, while s*x is awesome, it's not love. (One of the reasons the divorce rate is so high is that people don't really get this...)

I like the Clint Black song called "Something That We Do." In it he sings that love isn't something that we feel, something that we find, or some place that we fall. It's something that we do. You may have heard the saying, "Love is a verb." Clint Black and these others are reminding us that we show our love by intentional acts of kindness and consideration toward others. It's all about putting someone else's needs before our own. It's about sacrificing.

Therefore, to answer the question, there is no substitute for love. BUT, a homosexual trying to live a righteous life has plenty of options for love that don't involve homosexual s*x. You can show love to any number of people around you. You can have significant, non-sexual relationships with people. You can get involved serving the less fortunate in your area. The sky is the limit. There are people in need of love all around you. It's up to you to figure out how to build your own ministry in this area.

I hope this helps.

Answer 9

its called lust.

Answer 10

As much as I respect your choices, I have to wonder what kind of God do you believe in that would deny you the oppertunity for love?

I am a christian and I am g*y, but I know that he wants me to be happy, and he definately wants me to find love.

Answer 11

Yes but you are going to go broke buying batteries for it.

Answer 12

No.  And you should rethink your interpretation of Christianity.  Jesus spent three years explaining to humanity what he thought was morally important.  Not once did he mention orientation in any way.

The moral aspect of s*x isn't *who* you love.  It's *how* you love.

Answer 13

No, there is no substitute to love. I agree with answer #1. You shouldn't let a judgmental religion get in the way of you loving someone else. It's unfair. The only reason Christians think that homosexuality is bad is because Adam and Eve were straight. Truth of the matter is, God wouldn't put g*y people on this planet if he didn't love and accept them. Embrace your homosexuality and go for the one you love, not the one that you're forced to love! ;-)

Money, chocolate, vibrators etc...
