    About needing a community that holds him accountable

    I'm a Christian myself. As to why someone would want to be in a Christian guild , I would break it down like this .
    As A Christian , we are , by default, representatives of God. We are told that our words and actions should be in accordance with what we have been taught . We should treat everyone with respect and dignity , even if we disagree with their beliefs or lifestyle . While doing this we must also balance ourselves so that we do not become caught up with others sins. Some people can't balance that. That is why we are also told , as Christians , that COMMUNITY is vital for our well being . We are told that we need to have a community of other Christians that will help us when we are failing at one thing or another ,and will hold us accountable if we behave in an Unchristian manner.
    I think the OP just wants a group that will help him maintain his balance.

    If you have to start looking for a sub-community within a community just to keep you "on-track" with regard to your relationship with God, then that's the point in time you have to start asking yourself: Should I even be playing this game to begin with?

    The answer is probably 'no', but you've also probably made about a billion justifications why it's OK.

    The Bible tells you to flee from the appearance of evil. If you feel there are things that have the possibility to knock you off your pommel-horse-for-God, then you need to leave, that's the bottom line. I don't say that to be mean, I don't say that to be cruel, I say that to be perfectly honest with you based on your criteria for life.

    Edit: And I'm not against joining a community that shares one's particular values.. I just question the motives based on this particular poster. If you are so adamant about your lifestyle being so pure, you are probably in the wrong place.

    As a ???sexual Christian, I recommend we leave the dramatics out of the topic.
    For the sake of basic sanity. We don't need it here and it will only end in anger and frustration for everyone involved. And not in the fun way.
