“I don’t believe it is wise or truthful to the power of the gospel to identify oneself by the sins of one’s past or the temptations of one’s present but rather to only be defined by the Christ who is overcome both for those He calls His own. All men and women, including myself, that are well acquainted with sexual temptation are ultimately not what our temptation says of us. We are what Christ has done for us; therefore, our ultimate identity is very simple: we are Christians.”

'I don't like "as a" statements very much, but I thought I'd give a word of encouragement to you Mr Robertson.

As a man who was consumed by LGBT identitarianism for some time at university, who genuinely thought I was gay, and then came to Christ more fully (I kinda had a gnostic-ish belief in what I thought to be the triune Christian God before) through the witness of a specific Church, and who now is engaged (to a kind, Godly and beautiful woman) , I can say that the gospel you preach is far better, kind and loving than any of the Beeching and affirmation crowds.

For me, it angers me deeply when I hear LGBT affirmation from professing Christians, as to me it feels like they want me to shove my face back in my vomit so to speak. Their gospel is one of slavery to ones sel-made identity (read idol), where yours is one of freedom in Christ. I originally wanted for the affirmation arguments to be true, but now I consider them utterly appalling. They effectively deny Christ's power to save us, and create a clean heart in us. A "clean heart" needing to be created after all requires the current heart to be filthy.

And no; I'm not some individual that has been brainwashed by "gay-cure" therapy, which is just the other side of the coin of the heresy that dominates LGBT identitarianism (Pelagianism). I also don't think my experience is universal, the struggle is life-long for most, nor do I think I'm somehow a special Christian, merely one who has been changed by the awesome power and love of God. The call from Christ is a love that preaches self-denial (Mark, Luke and Matthew all have Jesus telling people to "deny" themselves in order to "follow" Him Matthew 16:24, Luke 9:23, Mark 8:34) not of self acceptance as Beeching espouses. Jesus destroyed the false God in my heart and changed my nature. I'm not perfect by any means (there is still sin in my heart in thought, word and deed that pops up), but I know God can change anyone, for He did change and is changing me.'

"What to I love when I love my God? Not physical beauty, fading charm, splendour of earthly light (so precious to our eyes), fair melodies of harmony and song, odours of flowers, incense, spices, manna or honey, a body we can embrace with physical delight. It is these things I love when I love my God. Yet, when I love him, I love a certain sort of light, and a voice, incense, food, embrace; but they are of the sort I love deep in my inner being, where my soul is steeped in a light no place can contain – listen to a voice that never fades away with time – breathes an incense no gust of wind can carry away – tastes a food that never runs out through being eaten – clutches an embrace that doesn't dissolve through desires fulfillment. That is what I love when I love my God.
