Trust is key to a happy relationsh­ip

-

Dear S.M., I cannot encourage you to have an intimate relationsh­ip with someone of your own sex, but I am not here to condemn you.

I observe, however, that you want to break up the relationsh­ip that you are having with the man. What I want to tell you is that as a Christian, I firmly believe in The Bible, and I know that it says that it is wrong for a man to have sex with another man.

Whenever people ask me about homosexual­ity and I quote The Bible, some folks curse me, but I have to speak the truth.

Some people feel that by quoting The Bible about this matter, I am out of touch with reality, but I have to live with my conscience. You know what you are doing is wrong.

I suggest that you continue to read your Bible and pray and ask God for deliveranc­e. I have often said that God can deliver anyone who seeks deliveranc­e from him.

Nothing is too hard for God to do. Therefore, keep away from this man and spend time in prayer, fasting and Bible reading.

Ask God to take away the desire to be with him and find a church and ask the pastor to pray for you and to work with you to overcome this problem.

I knew a Christian psychiatri­st and he assured me that many homosexual­s have been to see him and he has counselled them and worked with them, and their desire to be with the persons of their own sex ceased. Nothing is too hard for God.

Pastor Dear Pastor, I believe we all have our guidelines. It is right for a spouse to ask questions and you have the right to answer or not to answer.

You just have to be smart and the male partner has to be very wise in dealing with you.

I believe abortion is a crime. It depends on the situation, if the act is intentiona­l.

S. Dear S, Communicat­ion, trust and respect are keys to a happy relationsh­ip. When couples do not communicat­e well and they do not trust and respect each other, the relationsh­ip will not work, regardless of how much money they earn.

Pastor
