The point is actually that if someone is claiming to be a follower of Jesus and they have a lover (without being married to them) then they are deceiving themselves. If you make no claim to being a christian then there is no inconsistency in your life. The principle of having sex-change operations is what I was referring to. A person is saying that God made a mistake. They are saying that they can't be satisfied with who they are but must become another sex to be happy. Jesus wants us to accept ourselves the way He made us and the way He wants to make us. Homosexuality is along the same principle. Sure their can be love between the same sex, but to have it become sexual isn't love anymore it is lust. Jesus offers something mor; Jesus wants to be your lover, to fulfill all your needs, right where you are if you will accept His love. karen
