If he is not a believer in Jesus Christ, why would he be here-- to make sport of Christians?
I think he could find better things to do than that.
He is here because he is a Christian who has or used to have a sin problem.

Re: Welcome Azzan Thread
he said that anyone that is gay can have straight relations but eventually because the sex drive is so strong they will fall (and have a homosexual encounter I presume)...isn't the same true of heterosexuals having an affair?
The truth is they don't necessarily have to break down and given in.

Re: Welcome Azzan Thread
Welcome everybody is right. We are all here under the same privileges, obligations and rules.
And since this thread has Azzan in the title, WELCOME! especially to Azzan.

I have been living alone for the past 6 years. It is a lonely existence and not what I desire for the rest of my life. I have come to accept that I am who I am and this is what God has for me. If I do find a partner some day I will not hesitate to embrace that opporuntity. I know some of you will be horrified to hear that, so be it.
I don't want to hijack the thread and make this all about me...

Actually, you need to go through the DADT thread. I asked him this question. I was led to believe he's not believing in much right now (or she).
I don't believe he/she is making sport of Christians. He's contributing to the thread. Sharing his perspective. I don't presume to know his/her motive or what they hope to gain.
In fact, if they even are a believer, I'm not sure how I'd even interact with Azzan. It would be completely up to them. If I was involved in Azzan's life, and Azzan was a believer, it would be much different. As it is, I'm interacting with a profile name.

If they claim to be raised a Christian and voted democrat, we won't know if they repented till 1 week from Tuesday.
We have had the talk with you about easy believe ism before.

He has stated that he is gay, he was a christian, and he was a lurker. He decided to give us his opinion on some matters. That is all. He is not here with a testimony of deliverance. He is not here to promote the gay agenda.

I think I missed that. Or do you mean "was" as in past tense?
