Just yesterday, a faithful LDS person asked me if I had ever thought about praying to relieve myself of my lifestyle. My response is that I believe in God, God could convert me to straight, but that according to my belief, it would be the same as telling a person in a wheelchair that if they prayed enough and were faithful enough God would help them walk; this too is possible, but it's not by the lack of faith that someone might be in a wheelchair. I still say that yes I am gay, yes I am a Christian, yes I believe in God, but I am exactly who God made me.MidKnight543https://www.blogger.com/profile/13278617590214062762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2018387523779914474.post-79258820527596847242010-10-06T18:59:19.618-05:002010-10-06T18:59:19.618-05:00Very nice talk.

And I should seek to humble my spirit and find contrition for my heart.Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03828931862423178491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2018387523779914474.post-58267981504978469582010-10-06T17:03:08.533-05:002010-10-06T17:03:08.533-05:00Thank you John.Thank you John.Bravonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02762204502534599107noreply@blogger.com
