Please note though—that was back in 9-2008. I have been “Joe” consistently since that time (almost a year now). I used the different names for a short period because someone labeled me a “troll” at the time and my posts were being removed. Once that was disproven I was able to stay with my original name and no problems since. (see date on #45) I also have learned a lot more since then about this site, so have far less “scuffles” here. :>)

I’d wondered.

OrDover made a typo—-replace “are” with “have” and the real thought comes through. lol

You weren’t a Christian—and I really mean that.

Amazing how you can judge my entire 40+ years as a Christian based exclusively on this one article. You must be blessed with the ‘Gift of Discernment’.

No Christian I know has ever said they felt “lovey-mushy” when saying they love Jesus Christ. It is a love of a Divine Being, not a spouse. When I say I love Christ I am not referring to some romantic love reserved for a wife or lover, I am speaking of a love that comes from the Holy Spirit himself for the person of Christ.

I could not tell my wife that she was my one and only, then turn around and tell Jesus that HE was my one and only!! I the lovey-mushy talk of love for Jesus abruptly ceased. I realized that if I were to be a faithful husband, I must have only one lover in my life. My marriage his given me a real relationship, and the anxiety of Loving Jesus has finally disappeared.

What the? Anxiety of loving Jesus? Lovey-mushy talk of love for Jesus? Only one lover in your life? I’m not sure which Jesus you are referring to here. No wonder he never answered back. What kind of concept did you have of the Lord? I’m sorry—-but this article is very disturbing. I’ll go to another thread. The Lord I know and love is so far above a human type of love I’m wondering who it was you were trying to worship!!??

I could witness the Gospel to unbelievers until I was blue in the face, but I always stopped short of declaring my Love for Jesus. Cut me some slack! I am a man – Jesus is a man. I could not admit love for any man the way I felt I was to love Jesus. I could even admit loving an amorphous, asexual God. But the man Jesus? I loved this man because I felt it was an obligation to love Jesus. I did not know him – I never felt him, touched him, saw him, felt his breath on my ear – how could I possibly love him? But I had to.

HelsSaling—

After reading your post I really have to say with all sincerity you never knew Christ. Anyone who really knows the Lord would not write something like that. Afraid to say you love Jesus due to homosexual overtones? You weren’t a Christian—and I really mean that. That post was very, very sad indeed.
