Hihi! My name is Mist, otherwise known as Elly. I am 16 and am in love with the Lord and anime. I joined this site to interact with other Christian anime fans.

I love to draw, as well as write. I try to incorporate my love of God in all that I do, despite being stigmatized and downtrodden for it. I am really looking forward to making friends here.

But, I do have one concern. I read your opinion on homosexuality, and I'm not fully sure where you stand. Do you believe that being homosexual is wrong, or that just the act is wrong. Personally, I feel that the act of homosexuality is a sin, but being a homosexual isn't. After all, God made everyone and loves us all equal, including homosexuals. Sorry, it's just that this is a topic that is very close to me.

I could have sworn I made a post here... Sorry if it ended up in another board!

Anyway, I'm Mist (or Elly, IRL). I'm 16 years old and love anime almost as much as I love the Lord!

My hobbies include drawing, writing, surfing the web, and procrastinating. I hope to make some new friends here. I'm happy to join a community of Christian anime fans. I don't have that privilege in real life, unfortunately.

Hello and a very warm welcome to you. I hope you enjoy it here. ^_^
I know what you mean, it's hard for me to find christian anime fans in real life where I live as well. I'm glad you found us here, though.

Welcome to the forums; I hope you enjoy your stay.

As far as the stances, you would have to ask the writer (Ashley) personally. It is not a requirement for every member to believe it exactly nor was it written by committee.

Hi? Hai!

Seeing no other responses on the other subject of your first post (homosexuality), I thought I would respond.

Having the desires or predisposition or whatever you want to call it, can not possibly be a sin. A temptation, perhaps, but not a sin. How you respond to these feelings is where the question of sin comes into play. Having temptations is something we call being 'Human'.

For my part, I do believe it is wrong, and I believe it is as much a mental affliction as any other sexually oriented misfiring of the mind. My wish for the person so afflicted is a cure. It's unfortunate our society at large seems to be against seeking such a cure, and thus no effort is being made.

People try to 'prove' it is 'natural' and therefore 'okay' by showing a biological basis for it, showing it somehow comes from the neurology of the brain, but I answer that you could perform the same proof on pederasty or, outside the sexual arena, alcoholism, schizophrenia, or domestic abuse. All of these have been shown or suspected to be results of neurological predisposition. We don't call them okay just because God appears to have made the person that way. We do our best to help and if possible, cure the sufferers of these things.

Does that make me a 'homophobe'? Only in the sense that I fear for the homosexual who is not seeking God's help for his or her condition. I welcome any person who identifies themselves as 'gay' or whatever as an equal member of the same Christian family, whether or not they understand or accept my beliefs on the subject. I am an equal sinner before the Lord, so I refuse to cast stones.

Sorry about that. Should have checked for duplicates before approving the thread.
