SEVENTH-GAY ADVENTISTS
Fah, inty, and sexualy lli this raw and movg documentary about the challeng and spirual journeys of three Seventh-day Adventists who love God and their church and are also gay. She adds, "I love this one bee 's simply the voic of several of the ma film subjects sharg the re of the challenge, the difficult qutn of a seemgly dichotomo inty — I'm Adventist, and I'm gay.
Can the producer, Daneen Akers, please furnish some credible Biblil evince of God ndong or supportg homosexual behavur/liftyle/preference/choice/tenncy/views/sex? Readg the sanctimon smugns of some of the ments on this blog, 's a sure thg that any gay person lookg to fd J would fd the wele mat pulled right out om unr them at the entrance of most SDA church. It is no small wonr to me why so many gays want nothg to do wh the church and have retreated to their own muny where at least they aren't ma to feel like scum that should be swept out wh the trash.
Do ever cross the mds of some you folks, who wouldn't even want to s next to a gay person church, but stead choose to stay a "safe" distance om them, that you may be further om the kgdom of heaven than those you look down on? How many people who claim the mantle of ex-gay have bought to the notn that simply a matter of "pray the gay away" and you will somehow miraculoly bee straight, only to fd out after years of livg nial that they have been brawashed to a cel hoax when realy of all crashg down on them.
“SEVENTH-GAY ADVENTISTS”
I gus what I'm tryg to say is this, while I agree the Bible do not sanctn immoral behavr of any kd, why is that an entire group of people are wrten off by the church at large and stigmatized bee ant gay activists have given them the imprsn that gays are not worth the time or effort to evangelize.
Put yourself the sho of an Adventist who wak up every morng of their life knowg they are gay and longs to be loved like the rt of the "normal" folks.
It is altogether too easy for those who aren't gay, who don't really re to unerstand why some are that way, to simply wre off those who are as some kd of special class of sners servg a pronounced nmnatn. The person God ed to teach me the practil mechanics of how God works to reem was a homosexual who had learned through alg wh his weakns what meant to pend on God to do for what we are powerls to do for ourselv. I have been most fortunate bee I do not f the stereotypil template, whatever that might be, that most church members njure up their mds of someone who is gay.
I AM A SEVENTH-GAY ADVENTIST
It's only others they fd ntemptible, but is impossible to look at that child that bore and watched through childhood and now disver he is gay, your whole attu will change–unls you ci to disown that child and that is so spible that is unthkable for any parent to even nsir. If a person clean and clar they are an alholic, I have often seen them met wh open arms and abundant unrstandg, but when a person clar they are gay, they are often shunned and treated wh ntempt.
A GAY MAN’S JOURNEY THROUGH THE ADVENTIST CHURCH
I n accept that a person n be born gay, but what my fah Christ, ref to allow me to accept, is that a person who is born gay, has no choice how they live their life. Why is that whenever I hear a story of a person that was born gay, who overme that and went on to a happy celebate life or a happy life wh a member of the oppose sex, those people are met wh rolled ey are ments such as "they are jt livg a lie" or "they were never tly gay to beg wh"?
