“This is what it really comes down to,” he says. “If this is the way God made me, then this is the way I’m going to live. It’s not like God made me this way and he’ll send me to hell if I am who he created me to be … I really feel closer to God because I no longer hate myself.

When God chooses to blind someone, it is amazing the amount of wickedness they will attribute to God.
I wonder when the next pedophile will blame God for making him that way?
Very sad. Thanks for sharing,
Anyway, who is this guy?
My first thought is that a lot of people who sang Ray Boltz songs in church are going to question whether they were wrong to do so.

Well, that'd be a pretty silly thing to think.

Never heard of him.
Never heard of him.
He was a very popular Christian recording artist a few years back. I have a couple of CD's by him.

I did some research, read about him, listen to about four of his songs and I can tell you that I've never heard of this guy.

No, but I may be more inclined towards using his cd's as Frisbees, and less likely to play them now.

You're not missing much. His songs - his hits, anyway - were mostly sappy, sentimentalistic ballads. I never had the slightest interest in his music.
His "testimony" screams the poverty of Evangelicalism today. People view their Christian walk and struggle as awaiting some "second blessing" to be delivered from further temptation and sin. The gospel of grace that announces Christ's righteousness and not our own is rarely preached from pulpits. Even the song "Thank You" is a song of the victory theology that permeates the "Christian" music scene.
Christianity is viewed as something that "works" or it doesn't. What kind of "testimonies" are on display with respect to sin? "I was delivered from alcohol and never desired another drink" or "I was gay and now I like women because God healed me completely". Those who never hear the true Gospel but simply hear the stories of victorious living by those who "dare to be a Daniel" are left hoping, week after week, that if they try really hard or "really let go this time" that they'll break through and their sincerity of effort will deliver from sin.
The sad part about this story is not a man convinced that something abominable pleases God. True, that's very sad. What's sad is that American Evangelicals have no testimony of the true Gospel for this man. Most will simply fold their arms and think of Ray as a sinner who doesn't get it like they do. Unlike them, Ray now has a sinful heart because they're remaining dedicated.
May God send a reformation.
