From: TAD (Original Message) Sent: 7/25/2004 7:27 PM I just want to tell everyone in the group, as well as the creators/maintainers of the site, thank you very much for the information contained on this site. I am a gay Christian man, brought up in an extrememly conservative background. I have hated myself for so long, and have told myself that there is no way I could remain a homosexual and a Christian at the same time. Recently, I have been working to change these ideas in my mind. The postings on this site have given me many things to think about. Thanks so much. TAD

From: Manager Rev. Jim Sent: 7/27/2004 10:00 AM Dear Tad, God bless you, brother, and welcome to Gay Christian Survival Group. I praise God that we were able to be of some help to you in your walk as a gay Christian. Please know that we are always here for you. If we can be of any further help or support, or if there are questions you might have, please do not hesitate to contact us. You are also welcome to contact me directly at KJV_Gods_Word@yahoo.com Tad, never forget that you are a precious gem to the Lord. By the mere fact that you have received His Gospel and have believed upon His Name is proof that the Living God has set His eye upon you and has marked you for ownership, for NO ONE comes to the Father unless the Spirit draws him. Out from among the billions of people on earth, He has looked upon YOU with favor and has commended His Word to go out to you. He has leaned His royal ear toward you to hear your cry and He has caught your tears in His bottle. Did you know that the Lord offers you more that just love? Because He is a compassionate God, He also knows of your need to be comforted for the wrong that was done to you and for the many griefs you have suffered. And so He has sent His Spirit, whom He expressly calls The Comforter, to be the hugging arms of your Father on high, to console you, to weep with you, to pray with you, to bring you peace, and to execute justice on your behalf. Seek His face and He will do all of this and more for you, to you, through you, and in you. And I leave you with this reminder from the Apostle Paul: Nothing, NOTHING, NOTHING, can separate you from the love of God. For there is, therefore, now NO condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus - for the Law Of The Spirit Of Life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the Law Of Sin And Death. And when you despised yourself, hear the command of the Father Himself, who said to Peter, "Do not call Unclean what I have made Clean!" You are clean, washed in the Creator's blood which cannot be contaminated. Go with God and know that you ARE loved, Rev. Jim www.GayChristianSurvivors.com
