"Never try to teach a pig to sing; it wastes your time and annoys the pig." --Robert A. Heinlein

True, but there are less than apocalyptic calamities that are worth prepping for. Creative problem-solving even helped during the COVID-19 epidemic shortages... Bottle Bidet

So many of our children look like my wife's side of the family that I tell her she is hoggin' the gene pool...!

I think you nailed it... ;)

Does each queen die in the proposed ant war?

Fleeing temptation is not "suppression." It is surrendering to the better Master. "Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves slaves to obey, you are that one’s slaves whom you obey, whether of sin leading to death, or of obedience leading to righteousness?" Romans 6:16 NKJV

I accept that, but it has not been my experience. I cannot even do the two that I am accustomed to at-will, other than praying or praising in tongues.

Believers are works-in-progress. We all grieve/quench the Holy Spirit from time-to-time. I am sure that we make Him face-palm, but if we have been Born Again, He is there to convict us to repent, pick us back up, dust us off & continue where we left off. Don't fail on purpose, but God is not...

If you are not in a church, get into one that will help you stand against spiritual oppression (while you must be in it). I would recommend these, Vineyard, Assembly of God, Foursquare Church (Links above are locators.) If you cannot go on Sunday, see what they have for mid-week services...

If sex was never part of the equation, then gay/homosexual does not apply to the situation. Why did she call herself gay if that was the case? And if the OP does not have any venereal inclinations whatsoever, then why is anyone suggesting that he is gay/homosexual? That is not what...

Equating homosexual lust with a strong platonic love is a disservice to the OP, who was speaking of men generally. pla·ton·ic /pləˈtänik/ adjective (of love or friendship) intimate and affectionate but not sexual. "their relationship is purely platonic"

Wrong. "Homosexual" means "sexually (attracted, "eros") to the same (gender as oneself)" < Gr. homos + Lat. sexualis. "Heterosexual" means "sexually (attracted) to the opposite (gender to oneself)" < Gr. heteros. "Philos" has the meaning that you are looking for.

They are not. David & Jonathan being BFFs is cool. Homosexuality & homosexual lust as defined by Leviticus 20:13 will never be cool.

No, that is a bromance. By definition, homosexuality is a perversion of eros, even when said lust is not acted upon. "If a man lies with a male as he lies with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination. They shall surely be put to death. Their blood shall be upon them." Leviticus...

They did not have "eros" with nor for each other.

There is no "right" way to continue in homosexuality, just like there is no "right" way to continue in hetero-adultery.

Since we are all born into Sin, that is really a chicken-or-egg question. Even if you never cross some imaginary line that you propose, you will still die in all the other sins that you have already committed unless you get Born Again. You don't need a specific law to rein you in. You need a new...

And there you have it... ;)

He only appeared homosexual to the Father while He was on the Cross, on the homosexual's behalf. Likewise for the murderer. He bore our sins. He did not commit them. (That is the only way that He could bear them.) He is Pure & Holy to us, and nothing less. When He returns, those will be His...
