AB and Anna,
Even if you don't agree with it, the point I just made should be obvious. I was a guy who was briefly tempted by homosexual activity. I am also a guy who did steal, fornicate, commit adultery, got drunk, did drugs, lied with great fluidity and other things I'm sure I've forgotten.
None of those things are in anyway indicative of who and what I now am in Christ. They are gone, wiped away by God Himself. And I am a new man in Him.
So if you want to say that I have to be a homosexual because of a brief one-time temptation 25 years ago, then be consistent and tell me that I am also a thief and everything else I listed. This is a package deal. If you're going to label me with one of them you've got to label me with all of them.
To give you the chance to be consistent, I invite you to do so now.
