The Joy of Being a Closet Christian

from Same-Sex Attracted and a Christian. Now What? · host Dennis Belkofer

My podcast is Same Sex Attracted and a Christian. Now what? Have I titled this episode The Joy of Becoming a Closet Christian to belittle what "closet" has meant to countless men and women who are same-sex attracted? I mean the men and women who hid that they were same-sex attracted: staying in the closet.  And those who declared publicly that they were same-sex attracted: came out of the closet. For many, it was a painful journey. Am I saying that the Bible doesn't teach that homosexuality is a sin? No!!! What I am saying is that I know what it's like to try to understand why I am same-sex attracted, as a Christian. And what to do about it biblically. I believed that the Bible is God's word and that it teaches homosexuality and its practices are sin, and yet I was attracted to men sexually. To point my finger at anyone else would make me a hypocrite of the lowest and most despicable kind. I've launched this podcast to share what I've learned biblically that answered my own question: Same-sex attracted and a Christian. Now what? I've taken the idea of being a closet Christian from Matthew 6:6 in the King James Version of the Bible: When the prayest, go into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret will reward thee openly. A closet Christian meets with God one-to-one to seek Him in Scripture and in prayer. To get to know Him. Combined with excellent biblical teaching by men who taught about biblically dealing with sin as a Christian, all sin, and becoming a closet Christian to personally develop what I was taught, and deepen my relationship with God, answered my now what? I pray that what I've learned will bless you and your walk with the Lord.  My heart to yours, DennisEmail: [email protected]
