I fully Concur with brother Chris.
God bless.
If there was another woman, man or even another human race before Adam & Eve, then the Bible doesn't declare it, indeed, the whole creation account strongly suggests that this great creative act of God was His first Initiative in preparing & inhabitating the World that He had prepared for His Glory.
And through the work of the Holy Spirit in our lives, our desires & lusts also change or removed when we wholly look to Him for power & deliverance. That is the chief work of God's Spirit: to conform us each day to the Image of Jesus ( Romans 8:29:
"For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren." Healing of mind, spirit & sometimes body begin to happen. Desires for same gender intimacy will fade away, with power to live a different lifestyle & for the Glory of God. The road may not be easy at first, but the Lord Who saves completely also has the Power to bring healing to sin-affected minds who now desire to only serve Him.
I would consider using statues or icons like crosses, etc. as a perceived conduit between a person and God is idolatry.
To me, praying to statues of saints, pictures of Christ, etc, is the same as the Israelites creating the golden calf to represent Yahweh and Moses condemned this outright.
As to where to start reading. I suggest reading all 4 gospels first. Become familiar with Jesus, His life, His words. He is what the whole Bible is all about, to point to Him. He is our Savior and Lord, so learning all about Him in the gospels is foundational. From the gospels, I would read the epistles beginning with Romans. Then I would read the book of Acts.
Do not be in a rush to read all of these. Take it slow and steady so the Holy Spirit can help you understand.
"I love Jesus, and I have confessed Him as Lord and Savior. I was high up in the music industry, and I still have a problem with cocaine. I do not party with anyone, and I read the bible and pray. My pastor's want me to become a teacher at our church. I buy cocaine two or three times a month and lock myself up in my room. I don't understand if it is a curse or what, but I do not know what to do."
When we consider the Psalm, we see David's allusions to various animals, viz. the strong bulls of Bashan (v12); a ravening, roaring lion (vv13, 21); & dogs (vv16,20). All these animals appeared to David as representative of people (his enemies) & probably the evil spirit behind them, that sought to take his life. So the imagery given to us in 'dogs', is that of a pack of wild dogs with baring teeth, seeking to pierce him (v16) & maul & devour him (v20: by their ruthless power over man).
And "my soul" & "my darling" speaks about his enemies' focussed thrust against him, and it appeared to David, as directed only against him - to rob him not only of his life, but all that that life was purposed to accomplish for God's Purposes. He earnestly sought the Lord, the One Who gave him life, nurturing him & bringing him to this point of being Israel's king (vv9,10). Thus his cry for deliverance from evil men that they should not gain victory over his life & he would be a living testimony of God's Power & Goodness to his people (vv22 ff).
On Friday, tomorrow she is undergoing a biopsy looking for cancer.
Pray that the doctors determine that she has no cancer.
God Bless you.
the assembly of the wicked have
enclosed; me they pierced my hands and
my feet. verse 16 the dog here is referring
to the enemy of Gods people.
also chapter 22 is a prophecy of
Christ, psalm 35:17 the enemy referred
to as a lion.

Thanks again!
