Hi I am brand new here and searching for truth. I am Christian that grew up in a conservative, right wing, legalistic Baptist church.
My love for Jesus Christ and my walk with Him is first priority. I am faced with something I really didnt forsee. But let me give you a brief background. I was married for 11 years (separated the last 6) to a man who was an alcholic, addict, adulterous, and abusive. He has all the knowledge of the Truth, but I have not see any fruit that would bear witness to him being a true believer and follower of Christ. I have four awesome kids who are the blessings that came from an aweful marriage.
Fastforward following the Lord and His Truth is extremely important and I believe the Word of God is infallible and what all our beliefs should be based upon.
I have been searching for two years my own identity in Christ. It has been ingrained in me that same sex unions are not Biblical so it has only been recently that I have been reading up on the topic. Please explain how same sex unions are blessed by God when there are so many references to husband and wife, especially in the New Testament. How does it all fit with Paul's description of the husband is over the wife just as christ is over the church.
I am asking this question because it is extremely important that I come to an understanding in my heart what is right and wrong before the Lord. I have found someone that completes me in so many ways and to a depth that I have never dreamed. Our souls are so connected it is more than I ever thought possible. She is the perfect best friend for me. I would lay down my life for her and go whereever she goes. The bond and the ties go beyond sexual attraction. I am just searching for truth before God's eyes and what the right path is. I know there is no one else but her for me she is the perfect companion, but I certainly do not want to against God.
