Cheryl said “My heart is grieved for all who manipulate Scripture to justify lifestyles and choices not supported by scripture.”.

No one needs to justify a life that harms no one and whether you think your fictional bible supports that is irrelevant.

Cheryl said “You, Ty are living proof that people can come out of Homosexuality.”.

No, Ty is living proof that people can suppress who they are and live a wasted life of lonliness and denial to please someone who does not exist.

Ty,
Thanks so much for taking this stand in such a loving and compassionate manner. I too love the Boltz family and have been blessed by Ray’s annointed songs.
My heart is deeply saddened as yours and I will continue to pray for their family. My heart is grieved for all who manipulate Scripture to justify lifestyles and choices not supported by scripture. You, Ty are living proof that people can come out of Homosexuality. I know many others who have also, yet are condemned for doing so…this is strange to me…seems horribly intolerant.
Anyway, thanks for your courage for speaking out…though not politically correct-I believe the Lord will bless you for being true to God’s Holy Word.
With Love and compassion,
In Christ Jesus
Cheryl

Ty said “Peace is found through righteousness. Not giving in.”.

When I rejected my sexuality I was an extremely angry and unhappy person. Now that I’ve given in to who I am and married a man I’m extremely happy, often euphoric. Accepting who you are when you’re hurting no one is righteousness – you’ll only find peace by accepting that.

Ty,

I know that you desperately need to believe that homosexuality is a choice and a sin. Otherwise all of your struggling and effort is in vain.

But I hope some day you will give up your struggle to be other than the way that God created you and find peace in Christ. Peace in knowing that the Law and the Prophets and Leviticus and all of the effort to be good enough for God can be set aside and that you can simple enter into relationship with Christ.

The only choice here is whether to live in peace with yourself and with God or whether to continue to try and live up to expectations that God doesn’t even have for you.

For those of use who so longingly look to home knowing that a most challenging choice in this time — to walk out of homosexuality — means beating the odds stacked against us. It has been with much grace and a revelation for perseverance that has made the difference. Peace is found through righteousness. Not giving in. To learn of this story of a Christian icon… it is tempting to see it as a blow to the progress those of us who stand and believe homosexuality is not God’s best for his children. The world does not make it easy, and this seems to destroy from inside the ranks. God’s word is truth. He has made it clear. How deceived does a believer have to be to be comfortable with this? If you think of the message behind the song Thank You. — the implication is that small choices in life could mean so much more for others. Ray Boltz’s choices will effect others. He will have to stand before God. My heart hurts for him and those his choices impact. The word is clear. Immediate peace does not equate to eternal acceptance. It seems so poetically sorrowful. As a man who boldly walked out of homosexuality and into the arms of Christ, I do not celebrate the choice of Ray Boltz to come out , nor do I support his ex-wife’s decision to be ‘okay with it’. I am deeply saddened by this. Homosexuality is a choice. A complicated one… a challenging one… but it is not larger than Christ. It is still a choice. I am deeply hurting over what I have learned and I will continue to pray for your family, Carol. We love you and your ex-husband. Blessings to you.

“And God is the One with the power to do whatever He wants, not you or me.”

Then everything must be hunky dory with Sky Daddy since The Gay keeps on, keeping on regardless of era or empire.

It’s either that or He’s not powerful enough to stop The Gay on His own.

Angie,

Do you have a degree in Ancient Hebrew? Have you done your own translation of the the Torah? Do you have a complete, working knowledge of Aramaic and Ancient Greek? Have you examined the actual manuscripts? Or do you rely on the King James version, with all it’s purposeful mistranslations?

Please don’t tell the rest of us what what the Bible says until such time as you actually know what it truly means, and not what you’ve interpreted it to mean through the filter of what your ministers, preachers and priest have told you it means.

Oh my, Timothy, please stop the sarcasm. Serena is exactly right. She obviously is not saying that she knows more than everyone, etc.; please don’t put these words in her mouth.
Any one who reads the Bible reads that homosexuality is an abomination to God. That’s IT – PERIOD. Any one can say anything they want – but that’s what GOD says. And God is the One with the power to do whatever He wants, not you or me. He is the rule-maker. If we want to disobey Him, that’s our choice.
People who have chosen to live as homosexuals are doing just that – they are NOT born that way. God did not create Man, Woman, and It. They have let themselves into sin. God loves them, but hates their sin. We pray for them that they would be set free.
We pray for God’s mercy on this country as it goes down the path of so many past empires who have collapsed after embracing homosexuality. It is a sad thing.

Serena,

I’m sorry that Ray, Tonex, James Cleveland, and others couldn’t find a real believer to pray & advise them how to defeat this spirit.

Oh, Serena, if only they had you. I’m sure you, a “real believer” have the inside track to God, an ability to command the Holy Spirit to do as you wish, and advice that is far superior to what these guys had.

After all, they only had access to absolutely any person in Christendom. They had access to the best known ministers, those most annointed, those with the greatest degree of learning and the most experience. They had access to those who specialize in the “spirit of homosexuality”, in research, study, theory, practice, prayer, and devotion.

And they spent years, decades, trying to change who they were inside. And, after all of this, Serena, they discovered that God aparantly has no intention in making same-sex attracted persons be heterosexual. It seems, Serena, that He wants them the way he created them.

But oh, Serena, if only they had you. You could have changed them in an instant. Because you, Serena, know more than everyone. Unlike everyone else, you are a real believer.

I too believe in the existence of “spirits”.

Some of their names are: Scotch, Whiskey, Brandy, Tequila, Vodka, Gin, Rum and Cognac!

Other than these “spirits”, there has been no tangible, scientific evidence of the existence of any other type of spirits.

Other than the drinkable ones.

If anyone has proof otherwise, please elucidate.
