    Porn is my biggest addiction/sin. Please pray for me to fight this sin. I personally have asked God to eliminate this desire from my heart so many years. I want to be 100% for Jesus Christ my lord and saviour

      The key to your freedom is renewing your mind your thought life through scriptures, good Christian books, prayer, worship, also its cutting every device in your life that's putting dirty thoughts in your head meaning certain movies possibly staying off internet maybe going on a fast

      Ricardo I was going through the same thing a couple of days ago and all you have to do is get rid of temptation. Throw away your phone or something like that. Also repent and put your full trust in Jesus Christ and he will make you born again and cast porn out of your life. God bless you. I wish you the best.

The more points you get the better you feel. Fast and sacrifice your flesh, read the bible, and rebuke all the demons and legions that are trying to Tie you up with sin. God Bless you brother!

    A couple nights ago, I asked the Lord why as a kid, I grew up liking the same gender and the next morning I woke up and verbally said "witches". Like, as soon as I woke up. I've never done anything like that before. I still have an attraction to men, but I stay to myself and I'm trying my best to live for the Lord. I wanna make it to Heaven to be with my Father and Jesus. It's hard knowing that I'll never have love from someone, but I'd rather make it to Heaven than go to Hell.

      Alot of times satan gets to us when we are young and are in the begining stages of developing our thoughts. And at that time, is where it is decided what you would do with your future thoughts and likes. If you decided to reject the thought, at that time satan would have fled, but because you agreed with the thought that opened the door for him to come in and create a strong hold. Some of us were not even fully aware of that event, because we were real young. You are to renounce that event that you thought as a child. And Ask God for forgiveness. And nail it to the Cross, ask God to help you. Get Christian help. read the bible. Know that you have created strongholds in your mind and it may take some time for them to cease, but hold on and dont give up. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.

      Thanks for posting your testimony, I have much respect for you. I would like to encourage you with a bible verse,
      Romans 6:6 'For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin - because anyone who has died has been freed from sin.'
      That's right buddy, if you are in Christ then you are free! You need not be enslaved by your feelings and think you will be alone for life. If Jesus has saved you and given you the holy spirit to live in you then you can truly say to yourself "I'm not a slave to this, I'm free!"
      I'll be praying for you.

      @Dan Kitteringham:
      Homosexuality is everywhere in nature, just like the causes of alcoholism.
      It exists naturally.
      It occurs naturally in every aspect of plant, animal, and human existence.
      YOU CAN NOT GET RID OF IT!
      Sugar is the cause of alcoholism.
      It's everywhere in nature.
      Life thrives on it.
      There can be no life on earth without it.
      But it's highly addictive, especially if it is distilled.
      Therefore, one must not abuse what occurs naturally, such as sugar and homosexuality, by abusing sugar, processed or distilled, through excessive consumption, or the gay lifestyle through whoremongering.
      Homosexuality, like sugar, is a beautiful gift from God to humanity. But it cannot be abused as it was in the days of Jeremiah and Paul through male temple prostitution, or today through whoremongering.
      It is the abuse of any gift that God has given us that is bad, and that is what God condemns.

      I meant every word I said, and every word of it is truth.
      Homosexuality is not a sin.
      And yes, I am a Christian.

      You can never drink or use casually again.
      Never.
      You know this.

      Tim W 1 Corinthians 6:9~ “Don’t you realize that those who do wrong will not inherit the Kingdom of God? Don’t fool yourselves. Those who indulge in sexual sin, or who worship idols, or commit adultery, or are male prostitutes, or practice homosexuality, will inherit the kingdom of God.”
      ⬆️ sooo you’re telling me that God was lying when He told us this? ... God never changes! So it is not a gift from God, satan gives people the urge to practice homosexuality and some give into the urge, to that temptation. But God says that we are stronger than that and we can resist! (1 Corinthians 10:13; Psalm 46:1 ; Philippians 4:13 ). Don’t try to twist up God’s word. God knows what He is doing and what He said! We need to be reborn again to enter the kingdom of God! And homosexuals are not reborn again if they are still homosexuals. They must be strong and resist the temptation! They must endure til the end like all of us to enter God’s kingdom🙏🏽.

      Deseo Synergy She’s not judging; she’s only the messenger telling her that we have God’s Word that says HE will judge all without the miracle of the new birth that gives a new heart w/ new desires. THAT’S real love. John 3:3- Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” Read it all for yourself. Start w/ the book of John.

    • @sophiem3794
      @sophiem3794 Před 4 lety +13

      Deseo Synergy God does not condone this behavior. He tells us to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us (Matthew 5:44) And TRUE Christians wouldn’t do those things, True Christians are Christ-like... and Christ (if you know his character) would neverrr do those things to the lgbtq community or to ANYONE for he is the same yesterday, today and forever (KJV; Hebrews 13:8). So do not let people tear you away from eternal life and a relationship with God because they are being horrible examples of Christians. God hates when people hate others! We are suppose to LOVE! So We do not hate them, We love them soooo much that we want them to live a TRUE GREAT LIFE with their savior Jesus Christ HERE and have ETERNAL LIFE when they pass away. HOW MUCH MORE LOVING CAN WE BE? I love you so much that i want to see you go to heaven. And I am so sorry that you had a bad experience with Christianity or a bad view on it because of FAKE Christians. I, a true Christian, am telling you that we love everyone and want what is truly the best for them. We get persecuted more than ever (Mathew 5:11) but we continue to endure because we love God so much and we love people too. God bless you 🙏🏽❤️.
      So if you want to make your first step to Christ all you have to do is repent, turn away from your sins and turn to Christ, and I promise you that it will be the BEST decision you will ever make in your life. You will experience TRUE PEACE, TRUE JOY, AND TRUE LIFE! That void you feel time to time or maybe all the time WILL BE FILLED! So do it NOW before it is too late! Salvation doesn’t seem like a gift until it is taken away from you... it doesn’t seem like a gift until God casts you into hell for eternity and you understand what it feels like,, how horrible it is.
      I will pray for you. God bless 🙏🏽❤️.

    • @greyemrednus
      @greyemrednus Před 8 lety +5

      Seems like your God is pretty arrogant. I wouldn't want to spend eternity with a God who is this perversely interested in my mere human acceptance of his existence in a cruel world in which he didn't even make himself obvious for everyone.
      Honestly I don't think you can call a God who "rewards" the repentant, christian serial killer but "punishes" the innocent child (from a culture that can't possibly lead to it becoming a christian) who dies of bone cancer at the age of 6 after 2 years of agony with eternal torture (which completely eliminates the purpose of punishment: to improve) just or loving.
      If God really existed, wanted us to obey his law and loved us he would have made everyone believe he is real so no one has to suffer.
      The idea of how he seems to be playing with humanity as if his creation (which is full of unstoppes terror, pain, suffering and hate) was an experiment (for which he has no reason to execute as he would already know the outcome) is just disgusting.
      No child deserves such concept of God to be planted into its mind.
      Believe it if you want to, I respect you for trying to do what you believe is saving people from going to hell.
      Yet remember you have no point, all you have is a belief which hundreds of other religions equally have as well.
      Putting your belief higher than any persons free will, especially a vulnerable child's one is just wrong as long as you don't have any true evidence, as you as a Christian are spreading a message intolerance of so called sin which some of people have no reason to be ashamed of.
      Seriously, do you even consider once why the hell God cares if we eat shellfish, what we do with our hair or what we do with our genitalia?

    • @greyemrednus
      @greyemrednus Před 8 lety

      +Dakotah O'Brien Please explain to me how gay sex causes desease, where have you learnt that? So basically by that logic it would also cause desease if a man would donate blood to another man?
      You can't be serious thinking gay sex CAUSES disease (not just transmits).
      Please. Use your basic biologic knowledge if there is any.
      Man your understanding of gay sex is shocking.
      Reason your point and argue against my blooddonation example.
      Why should even the most discerning homosexual know he is doing the objective wrong thing (not just the "sin" that is unsubstantiatedly defined by the bible)?
      Yes, you are right that even if a person is gay they have the ability to actually not have sex (choosing not to sin in that sense), unfortunately Jesus also said that you are already sinning if you look at a non-wife woman with lust. Similarly, the gay man is already sinning if he does something he can do nothing about. And for that he is supposed to repent, now that is f***** up. Your argument is invalid.
      Your god has a choice not to send innocents to hell for eternal punishment (which is still messed up, please make a statement on this).
      But apparently he is not that just but extremely arrogant, as some of his highest demands from us mere humans are to accept his existence (which we rationally have no reason for), to worship him and to repent for breaking a law he has created without substation.
      Don't tell me that sending an innocent early dying child that has happened to have been born in the wrong culture to eternal pubishment is what a God of Justice would do.
      And please tell me how gay sex causes disease.

    • @greyemrednus
      @greyemrednus Před 8 lety

      +Dakotah O'Brien Yes and Mohammed claimed that only he has heard the absolute true word of god, so what makes Jesus's statement more credible? You are falling into circular reasoning here: "x is true because Jesus said so and Jesus is right because the bible sais so."
      Start arguing with the scientific method if you want to make any sense.
      You didn't even have to quote the bible to state that other religions are wrong if christianity is right, because they contradict.
      The question is why is christianity right, and reasoning that with base of Christianity, the belief in the truth of the bible is just closeminded.
      Yes I understand that people are seen as blessed that throw all their trust onto the bible in Christianity. Still it is morally questionable why the christian God requires this from us, why couldn't he just reveal his existence and his law to everyone, not just showing himself but simply making people believe in him, so even the little sick girl has the ability to avoid eternal hellfire.
      That would be a bit more fair, but no, he has to send the girl, Gandhi and every other innocent agnostic to hell.

    • @greyemrednus
      @greyemrednus Před 8 lety +1

      +Dakotah O'Brien How does looking at nature prove your God's substance? After all the same logical fallacy can be applied to Allah: "I feel like all this must have been created by someone because it seems so amazing and beautiful, and because my holy Quran sais it was Allah therefore it must be true."
      Realizing that the body contains water doesn't get you any further.
      you see the problem here?
      You know what would have really made the bible at least a bit more believiable? Maybe some extraordinary knowledge like germ theory (hygiene), or an explanation of why basically everything we perceive regarding the origin of our planet points into a different direction than creation.
      And even if there was a creation,
      what makes your religion's unjustified answers more viable?
      And again answer me please about the gay sex causing disease issue, I want to understand how you came up with that.
      Also please attempt to resolve the moral dilemma of the sick child described in previous replies: How can you call such a God good, just and righteous?
      What are your views on the purpose of eternal punishment?
      Do you agree that he is arrogant, argue why.
      When I answer your replies I always go through each sentence to answer everything you ask, it would be nice if you could do the same in return, thanks!

    • @greyemrednus
      @greyemrednus Před 8 lety

      +Gero Sundermeyer To add:
      When I said that extraordinary knowledge would have made the bible a bit more believable I didn't say why, just to clarify:
      The Bible is obviously written accordingly to its time, and because many Non-christians doubt that it is the word of god (but a book with completely man made content) it would have really given the bible something remarkably supernatural if it had something in it that made it seem like I couldn't just have been created by people of that time.
      What we have is a book with some contradictions and errors, although admittedly rather consistent in its 40 ("sub"-) books.

So we can only repent and trust Jesus for our salvation. We repent to make sure we're not calling Satan, jesus.

      Generally it is because religious beliefs are dogmatic by nature and heavily encourage subservience and obedience. Should someone question those established beliefs they are often berated, ostracized, or in some areas of the world, brutalized or killed. Naturally believers are typically the ones to initiate the negative responses from non-believers and especially in the more evangelical west, the notion of secularism is a fault that needs correction. It is this arrogance and imposition that perpetuates an intense divide between stances. Atheists are a minority group, and by virtue of that recieve FAR more scrutiny than any believer ever concievable could. Atheists, much like gay people, if simply left to their own devices, would have functioned just fine, especially in this increasingly secularized world driven by information and diversity.
      However, recounting the dogmatic nature of religion, those who are "different" are often prime targets for ignorant remarks born of those very beliefs. As a result you either fight fervently for your ability to think and exist freely as a human being( hence youtube comments and arguments), or you submit to the paradigm of stifled thinking and acceptance built upon a foundation of faith and no evidence.

Obviously the kind act is to warn the child and so it is with homosexuality. We are warning gays (and straight) that God has appointed a Day in which He will judge the world in righteousness. Liars, thieves, murderers, rapists, adulterers, fornicators, homosexuals are all in danger of God's wrath, which is why we need Jesus. Jesus suffered for our sinners on the Cross and rose again defeating death. He took the punishment for ours sins. If we repent and put their trust in Jesus, God can forgive the debt.

      All we can do is share our views with grace and love and show you God's love. For this is a very important matter of life in death, and Jesus Christ wants us all to live, but He will not force us.
      But we have a problem, the LGBT community is forcing us to do things against our beliefs. We cannot make you anything "Gay wedding related", but we can serve you food and provide you with medicine. To make you a gay wedding cake, it is to go against scripture and say go ahead.
      Another way to see this is, it is like making a Muslim cook you pork.
      A Hindu cook you beef, making peta member kill you an animal. Asking a black tailor to make you a KKK uniform.

Absolutely shameful that people would behave like this, and worse still, think they are 'holy', 'righteous' and 'sanctified' in doing so. I guess that ties in well with the ironic joke you made about humbleness early on in the film.
      Do you care that gay people are four times more likely to commit suicide than heterosexuals...primarily down to the very high levels of homophobic bullying, and sanctimonious religious profiteers decreeing that they are 'sick', 'sinful', and 'handicapped' (that was a Mark Spence comment - absolutely vile)? I guess the situation in the US is better than that in Uganda though because courtesy of religious zealots like Ray, until recently, the Christian government decreed that homosexuality was punishable by death (www.independent.co.uk/news/world/africa/how-uganda-was-seduced-by-antigay-conservative-evangelicals-9193593.html). The team at Living Waters are contributing to making the worse a more dangerous, hateful place. All you have to do to see that this is true, is read Ray's FB page.

    I have heard and read that somewhere around 90% of homosexuals were molested, abused, or "exposed" in a homosexual manner in childhood. Sexual encounters in childhood set an "imprint" in the brain that says, "this is the doorway to sexual excitement" - whatever it may have been. Early exposure to porn can also have this effect. The actual traumatic event is usually repressed, so they can never remember a beginning point of their sexual preference, it just seems it has always been that way.

    I know of two siblings that are the youngest of 10 siblings. The mother had them when she was in her 40s. Both of them turn out to be homosexuals when they grew up. One female, and one male. The older siblings and the parents could tell the male was different since he was little because he enjoyed going to the beauty salon and being among the women getting their hairs done. The female has admitted to knowing she was different from her friends since she could remember because she was attracted to her friends, not boys.
    Neither of these siblings were raised differently from the oldest. The entire family is religious. The oldest children all are heterosexuals.
    I say, there is something there to that claim of being “born gay”. I do understand some might use it as a free pass thinking that makes them free of sin. However, to deny biology is not wise. We use biology for the gender, and abortion arguments against unbelievers and it works all the time. Because nothing that God has made can ever overwrite Gods will. Being that the case, I say like some children are born autistic, some are born gay. Not saying is okay to be gay if you are born that way. I’m just saying it could be something went wrong in the making. Just like something goes wrong when kids has defects at birth and such things.
    Also, psychopaths have been proven to be born psychopaths. Isn’t that also a sin? Yet they can be born that way. It doesn’t make it less sinful. But it is something to think about.

    Very true. Just about every person I have spoken with who is bisexual, homosexual, or transgender have had some early sexual experience that led them away from heterosexuality. I have found that when molested by the same sex the people tend to lean more towards same-sex attraction. When raped at an older stage by an opposite sex person they go toward same-sex. The psychology behind it is very interested, but no one has been "born" gay from what I've seen.

      Matt Bird, no gene has been found yet, despite what you have heard or read. That homosexuality is a learned behavior can be seen in nature and in all the cultures around the world. It is a Self-Evident Truth. Two same sex couples can never become one flesh. There is a way out if you want it, and it is not through therapy. I have a grandson that married another man last month. It is very sad. I personally know what took place in my grandson's life, like you believes he was born gay. He was not his parents failed him in various forms. He has attempted suicide 3 times, he doe not know that I know. One of his several partners once countered my grandson when he said homosexuals are born gay, his friend responded to him, "No, it is learned behavior." My grandson was 21 at that time and new to the gay scene, his friend and mate was 43, almost as old as his mother by a couple of years. (my daughter) My grandson faces an insurmountable challenge as both his divorced parents approve and encourage him, as well as his step-father. God bless, praying you can find your way in life.

      mawgwat rodarte there was a study about this, ofc it is part learned behavior as well but there is a gene that increases the likelihood of one being born gay. while this does not make much sense in evolutionary terms, the other side of the coin is that females with that same gene are more likely to give birth to bigger amount of babies.
      in short it makes one more attracted to men, in both men and women.

      How is it sad, your grandson has found someone he loves. If he and his partner feel that way about each other and want to share their lives together why should this be sad. I'm so sick of people trying to change others sexuality, leave them be. I know this through several of my friends and family members who are gay and have come out about it.

    So many people say"Two guys being in a relationship doesn't hurt anyone. What is morally wrong about it if no one is hurt?" Well you can say the same thing about an adult mother and an adult son, who use contraception, engage in physical acts. Would you say that incest is morally correct? You know that it is wrong because God stated that both are immoral. If you support one by consent you support the other.

      ***** If they are both of age and both consent in each example, who is to say that it's wrong? I say that morality was given by God not man. You inherently believe that incest between 2 people of age who consent to sexual acts in the privacy of their bedroom is wrong, how is that different from two men? The same points can be made for both.

    friends, let's just say for the sake of argument that there is a God, and that he is ruler and creator of all things in existence. And since he is the one in control of his creation, he made some rules, an order of processes and functions and roles that decide how said creation works! Now let's say, just like a computer hacker, one of his rebellious rogue creations goes into that creation and lays a seed/virus that mucks things up, sets into motion a self district sequence that begins to through creation into disorder.
    Now let's fast forward to now, things have progressed and that virus, I.e. sin , has caused all of humanity to begin to stay from creations order and are now experiencing processes that weren't originally planned, things are becoming natural that used to be perversions of nature. It it's now natural for human beings to be and do lots of things that weren't in the original plan! So that is where Jesus Christ and the cross come in, the cross was designed as an anti virus, a war to help people born into a sinful world with sinful desires and sinful tendencies, to a place where the the spirit of God can take them and make them into what he had intended all along, his living children! And the only reason we fight back against this is because, A; many people misunderstand a imperfect translated bible, and B; people want to be able to remain "the way they were born", that's is to be able to live their lives as sinful beings and not be convicted! The whole world is broken and tainted, not just people. I was born with the tendencies to become addicted to anything that I liked, like food, video games, porn and many other things, that doesn't means I should allow myself to become and addict, God wants all people to know he doesn't look at men's actions, he didn't see their appearance, he looks at peoples hearts, which means looks at our thoughts and our desires,and wether out not we are actively living those out, or if we struggling to follow his plans, and if sin is found and we do not repent before out death, than we will be cat into he'll fire eternity, which is against his will, we were created to bee his companions, to lovingly worship him as the creator of all things! If we could just real our heads around that,and accept that we aren't the most important thing around that we weren't made so that we could be served, but so that we could serve GOD! If we could get this and accept it we would all find happiness! Being born a certain way didn't mean that way is good or right, so instead of arguing on semantics we should get to the heart of it! Accept Christ as your savior and make him Lord of your life, pressing fervently that he would help you live as he had planned from the beginning, as child of living God!
    Be blessed friends, to those who are still lost and to those who have accepted the Lord's salvation!

    2015 is a year where America has taken another step away from bigoted, homophobic superstition. We may not be the first country to have pushed in favor of gay marriage, but hopefully the rest of the world will learn from our example and move to a better future for our kids! I didn't choose to be heterosexual, and homosexuals didn't choose their sexuality either!

    • @Blasco_Snap

      +MrBradFu Do you have the choice to stay straight? Does an asexual have the choice to stay sexually unmotivated by neither gender? I'm working on my BA in psychology and I can tell you there are no credible peer-reviewed studies that demonstrate what you say.

    • @Blasco_Snap
      @Blasco_Snap Před 8 lety

      +MrBradFu So if you have a choice to stay straight then that means you could choose to be gay. I can tell you, I can't choose to turn myself gay, and I didn't choose to be straight. You must be a closet bisexual, if you can choose to swing one way or another.
      And the "scientists" that disagree with me have no peer reviewed scientific journals to present.

    If your boss tells you not to do something that's a pretty basic rule otherwise you lose your job, don't do it. Simple as that.
    It's the same way with God. Don't ask "how is this wrong?" I'm pretty sure if he created the entire universe and gave you life, you have no right to say what is right and wrong. Whatever he says is right and wrong, is the ground rule for what is right or wrong.
    If I was born a murderer, should I give into the temptation to kill people? No, of course not, that's ridiculous. Homosexuality can be seen in the same light. Just because you have the temptation to have sexual relations with the same sex doesn't mean you should.
    The city of Sodom was burned to the ground with holy fire because of sexual immorality. It's stated in Leviticus that a man shall not lay with man nor beast as he lays with woman, for it is an abomination before God.
    I really don't know how it can be simplified any more about how homosexuality is morally wrong in the eyes of God. He says it is wrong, therefore it is wrong.

    • @zmatt007
      @zmatt007 Před 9 lety

      You do know that it was written in the Old Testament, originally meant for the Jews who were the chosen people of God when the law was completely different in it's time, right? Even the new testament wouldn't be for the gentiles until the apostle Paul was sent to preach to them.
      Oh, that's right, actually learning the christian religion would be ludicrous. It's much better to just look up random things and spew nonsense.

    • @zmatt007
      @zmatt007 Před 9 lety

      I don't believe it said anywhere that it was abolished, mm? I didn't see anywhere in the new testament where it said man and man, or woman and woman to be married.
      If I read correctly it always said man and woman. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. Since never did it ever say same sex marriage was alright. Besides...if God destroyed entire city's over homosexuality, I doubt he just decided "eh, it's fine now."
      Since a sin will always remain a sin. Never has something been revoked as no longer being evil...one being homosexuality.

Homosexuality is not dependent on the person its a spirit a second person living its life through a person by making them think its really them. If you think its schizophrenic then you have people who are suicidal, cutters, homosexual, drug addicts, and others under that label.

    I have taught gender studies course in two major universities for the past 20 years. The mainstream text I use (Gendered Lives by Fixmer-Oraiz & Wood) contains a chapter on the development of gender identity. They explain 9 mainstream theories from Psychology, Sociology, Social Psychology and Communication that posit the mechanisms of gender identity development. One theory discusses biology. Eight of the theories look at the effects of social interactions. The biological explanation is the shortest section of the chapter, merely pointing at twin studies, but unable to directly identify the root of any correlations.
    I asked a gay colleague of mine (sociologist) about the current research, and she told me that they have stopped looking for genetic causes (born that way) and are simply fighting for civil rights. And as a Christian, should I not befriend and treat every person with respect? ... offer jobs, housing and every other benefit of civil society?
    I assign my Senior level class to write an introspective essay that describes which of those 9 theories played the biggest role in their gender identity formation. I take care to explain each theory, not dissing or preferring any of them. In 20 years (600-700 students), not one has cited the genetic theory as playing a significant role in their lives! Not one! All have cited two or three of the social science theories that look at upbringing, social construction of masculinity or femininity, influence of social groups. The textbook does NOT discuss sexual abuse at the hands of an adult. Seems that none of my colleagues want to delve into the possibility that trauma bends the personality or desires in some fashion-rape, physical or verbal abuse by parents, social ostracizing and bullying of the gentle boy or the tough girl from peer groups, date rape. Do people think such trauma make no difference to identity development in a young person? Common sense says otherwise.
    Apparently, Lady Gaga's song is a more accepted "epistemic resource" (source of truth) than the research done by my colleagues in the world's university system. If I had applied research methods to this data set, gaining IRB compliance for a content analysis of these 600-700 essays, I am certain that no mainstream academic journal would publish it, and that I'd run the risk of being dismissed from my position.

    What a relief. When I first saw the title, I thought, "Oh no, here we go." I thought I was going to hear you say the things I hear a lot of Christians or maybe just conservatives say about this subject. I'm a born-again Christian, I love Jesus with all of my heart. But I'm gay. I can't help it. I don't sleep with men, I have nothing to do with that lifestyle anymore, God gave me a new heart. But I'm still attracted to men. I didn't ask for this. Absolutely, yes, we are born this way. So I was waiting to hear you say what I always hear... and that is that we gay people are "mentally ill." Thank you for never saying that! Most gays will never repent. But there's hope for some! Albeit a few. And for the ones who do turn away, I know for me at least, It's hard to feel like I fit in with this community (the Church). So I appreciate the empathy.How do you share the gospel with homosexuals? The same way you do with heterosexuals. And don't tell them they're going to hell because they're gay. Tell them they'll go to hell if they die in their sins, without the forgiveness of God we get through grace by faith in Jesus.

      The temptation will always be there. An alcoholic doesn't just lose the desire to drink when they quit drinking. A drug addict doesn't just lose the want for the next hit.
      God never promised an easy road but He did promise that He would abandon us to our on devices because if they were the case we would all be doomed.
      I myself have problems with swearing and had a huge problem with alcohol. I have (with Gods grace) gotten my urge to drink under control. Now I just have to bridle my tongue.

      I think my biggest struggle is the idea that I will never be in a relationship - I obviously cannot. I cannot marry a woman because that would be a complete lie and it will make her miserable. And I obviously cannot follow my desires because that will lead to sin.
      So the only alternative is never having a soul-mate. It feels like a curse which I will never be rid of.
      This is why I get annoyed at many Christian brothers and sisters - not because I disagree with them but because they cannot begin to fathom the soulful agony a person like us feels when we realise we'll be alone and there will never be a wedding, or children, or a big family, or any of the wonderful things they take for granted.
      One day our parents will pass away, our siblings (if we have them, which I don't) will move away and have their own families, and we will remain alone, living a life devoid of anyone to share moments with.
      Even if you have friends, you'll always be second, third, fourth. Never the one; the most important person they can rely on.
      And this is why anyone comparing it to alcoholism or any other addiction is way off the mark - those who suffer from such issues can still have all those wonderful things if they are attracted to women.
      Our only single hope is that maybe... possibly... there's a slim chance that God has some sort of a bigger gift for us to make up for the loneliness of our existence.

    I have more respect now towards human beings than when I was part of a religion group.

    Excerpted from OTToday: Eight major studies of identical twins in Australia, the U.S., and Scandinavia during the last two decades all arrive at the same conclusion: gays were not born that way.
    “At best genetics is a minor factor,” says Dr. Neil Whitehead, PhD. Whitehead worked for the New Zealand government as a scientific researcher for 24 years, then spent four years working for the United Nations and International Atomic Energy Agency. Most recently, he serves as a consultant to Japanese universities about the effects of radiation exposure. His PhD is in biochemistry and statistics.
    Identical twins have the same genes or DNA. They are nurtured in equal prenatal conditions. If homosexuality is caused by genetics or prenatal conditions and one twin is gay, the co-twin should also be gay.
    “Because they have identical DNA, it ought to be 100%,” Dr. Whitehead notes. But the studies reveal something else. “If an identical twin has same-sex attraction the chances the co-twin has it are only about 11% for men and 14% for women.”
    Because identical twins are always genetically identical, homosexuality cannot be genetically dictated. “No-one is born gay,” he notes. “The predominant things that create homosexuality in one identical twin and not in the other have to be post-birth factors.”
    The predominant things that create homosexuality in one identical twin and not in the other have to be post-birth factors.
    Dr. Whitehead believes same-sex attraction (SSA) is caused by “non-shared factors,” things happening to one twin but not the other, or a personal response to an event by one of the twins and not the other.
    For example, one twin might have exposure to pornography or sexual abuse, but not the other. One twin may interpret and respond to their family or classroom environment differently than the other. “These individual and idiosyncratic responses to random events and to common environmental factors predominate,” he says.
    The first very large, reliable study of identical twins was conducted in Australia in 1991, followed by a large U.S. study about 1997. Then Australia and the U.S. conducted more twin studies in 2000, followed by several studies in Scandinavia, according to Dr. Whitehead.
    “Twin registers are the foundation of modern twin studies. They are now very large, and exist in many countries. A gigantic European twin register with a projected 600,000 members is being organized, but one of the largest in use is in Australia, with more than 25,000 twins on the books.”
    A significant twin study among adolescents shows an even weaker genetic correlation. In 2002 Bearman and Brueckner studied tens of thousands of adolescent students in the U.S. The same-sex attraction concordance between identical twins was only 7.7% for males and 5.3% for females-lower than the 11% and 14% in the Australian study by Bailey et al conducted in 2000.
    In the identical twin studies, Dr. Whitehead has been struck by how fluid and changeable sexual identity can be.
    “Neutral academic surveys show there is substantial change. About half of the homosexual/bisexual population (in a non-therapeutic environment) moves towards heterosexuality over a lifetime. About 3% of the present heterosexual population once firmly believed themselves to be homosexual or bisexual.”
    “Sexual orientation is not set in concrete,” he notes.
    Even more remarkable, most of the changes occur without counseling or therapy. “These changes are not therapeutically induced, but happen ‘naturally’ in life, some very quickly,” Dr. Whitehead observes. “Most changes in sexual orientation are towards exclusive heterosexuality.”
    Numbers of people who have changed towards exclusive heterosexuality are greater than current numbers of bisexuals and homosexuals combined. In other words, ex-gays outnumber actual gays.

    I'd like to clarify that homosexualism is not a sin, but practising it is.

    "Despite almost a century of psychoanalytic and psychological speculation, there is no substantive evidence to support the suggestion that the nature of parenting or early childhood experiences play any role in the formation of a person's fundamental heterosexual or homosexual orientation. It would appear that sexual orientation is biological in nature, determined by a complex interplay of genetic factors and the early uterine environment. Sexual orientation is therefore not a choice."

    I just bought Jesus in red and I am looking forward to meditating on it day and night. I have been saved and have repented fron my sins but struggle with hating my brother because I get angry with my bf family and my own family. I pray that I can trust in Jesus and find some answers on how to let go.
