Was thinking of going to bed before checking. Thank you for your own testimony it's moving that they were able to accept you even if it took long. I know one person who's been excommunicated by both his Church and family unfortunately. I'm unsure of his faith =(
That kind of thinking occurred in me too. I might hurt your feelings but because I care about your soul. Maybe it is good enough to say "God will love me anyway" when you are truly repenting. But I don't see that as okay. You are using repentance as a tool like some legal loop hole. It's why I silently sat in self-loathing of my desires for years. It's wrong to treat God that way. If homosexuality is a sin then it is judged just as any sin. So let's say someone intentionally murders innocents but is always repenting. They will probably make excuses of necessity but God will provide ( Matthew 6:25-34) Granted that's extreme but it's the same thing. Treating God's laws like a legal system and exploiting a perceived loop hole ain't good either.
I'm being kind of mean. I'm sorry...especially as one believer to another. I realize how I must sound I just really feel strong on this. Feel free to yell at me and call me out for anything I may have said since I'm not that great at expressing what's on my mind (what I've said so far could've been said more effectively in less words I'm sure). I recommend reading the link from my first post. What ever impression I have given you...I would love to hear a response. =)
