I am a young woman finding her way to the Lord after struggles with same-sex attraction and a few shameful acts. I very prudently remained a virgin, however. I hope to find a community here to help me along my path towards being a True ChristianTM and being Saved. I read the KJV and it changed my life. I would have to say that the passage that moved me was Numbers 16:31-35
"31 And it came to pass, as he had made an end of speaking all these words, that the ground clave asunder that was under them: 32 And the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up , and their houses, and all the men that appertained unto Korah, and all their goods. 33 They, and all that appertained to them, went down alive into the pit, and the earth closed upon them: and they perished from among the congregation. 34 And all Israel that were round about them fled at the cry of them: for they said , Lest the earth swallow us up also. 35 And there came out a fire from the LORD, and consumed the two hundred and fifty men that offered incense."
To see such an uninhibited show of God's wrath upon these men terrified me. I knew immediately that if these men could be swallowed alive for provoking the Lord, I could be as well. And so I turn to all of you, and to Jesus, to save my life and my soul.
