It really helps to have an understanding of Romans that does not make me feel condemned... especially when Romans is the books that proclaims that "there is NOW no condemnation..." !! This helps me want to return to reading the Bible without fear. I used to worry that I was simply trying to read the Bible in the way that suited me. In some way this is true. However, for me the only alternative was to abandon Christianity altogether. After all, I did not ask to be gay... I just am, and I'm trying to do the best I can with who I am. Looking forward to reading about your new Bible reading journey. Glad to hear you appreciated my comments on Romans.

I used to worry that I was simply trying to read the Bible in the way that suited me. In some way this is true. However, for me the only alternative was to abandon Christianity altogether. After all, I did not ask to be gay… I just am, and I’m trying to do the best I can with who I am.

Looking forward to reading about your new Bible reading journey.
