QUOTE (dow7594 @ Oct 16 2007, 02:49 AM) | Yeah I am making a good attempt at it with the help of Jesus. I am dating a woman that I met of Myspace. I have stopped going to the cruising sites online. I have deleted and gave away all my gay porn. I read the Bible and go to church.
I know a lot of men who have been able to live the dual life. I dont want to do that. I want to live one way and thats the holy way. I see a bright future living this kind of life. Hey but I am human and still having all these freaky thoughts and dreams. BUt not as many as I used to have. I am also celibate. I dont plan to have sex again until I am married. You have to put God first and he will give you all the desires of your heart. |
Do you believe that homosexuality and Christianity are incompatible?

NO i dont believe they are incompatible some churchs preach against it while some churchs permit it. I think that christians should strive to be christ like and he was accepting to all, but he died for all our sins. Its a sin to practice the act of homosexuality but not be homosexual. If you flee from the act and thought it will leave you. I put those thoughts down when they come up in my head. Its a struggle and I have to be in prayer and fasting to cvercome it.

On what basis do you think it is a sin?
Is your Christianity based on the Catholic or the Protestant school of faith?

I go to a non denonminational church. I would say its close to the Holiness movement here in America. Its very far from the catholic faith. Jesus would have been delivering the homosexuals from a life of hell. He would be getting those homosexual demons out of them.

So if it's far from Catholicism, then it is derived from the Protestant tradition.

Do you have a specific scripture reference for these actions?

Luke 5 21-26 matthew 21 28-32 this is jesus attitude toward sexual sinners. In the light of all these scriptures, what should our attitude towards the homosexual be?top
Jesus came into the world not to condemn it but to save it, and so we should not be in the business of judging individuals sin. God will judge those outside of the church. If we judge, we are judging ourselves as well for we have all broken the Law (Rom 2:1, 1 Cor 5:11-13).
(Rom 2:1 NIV) You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on someone else, for at whatever point you judge the other, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things.
(1 Cor 5:11-13 NIV) But now I am writing you that you must not associate with anyone who calls himself a brother but is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or a slanderer, a drunkard or a swindler. With such a man do not even eat. {12} What business is it of mine to judge those outside the church? Are you not to judge those inside? {13} God will judge those outside. "Expel the wicked man from among you."
However Jesus still calls sin sin. A person who will not admit that homosexual activity is sin is far from the kingdom. Only when a person admits that he is sick can Jesus heal him.
(Luke 5:31-32 NIV) Jesus answered them, "It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. {32} I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance."
The church in its preaching and teaching needs to proclaim all sexual sin as sin; fornication, adultery as well as homosexuality.
(Mark 7:21-22 NIV) For from within, out of men's hearts, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, {22} greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance and folly.
(1 Cor 6:9-10 NIV) Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders {10} nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.
(Gal 5:19-21 NIV) The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; {20} idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions {21} and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.
There is a big difference between someone with a homosexual orientation and someone who does homosexual acts, in the same way that there is a big difference between a heterosexual person who refrains from sex outside of marriage and the one who does not. Temptation is not a sin.
(1 Cor 10:13 NIV) No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.

The Pit... A homosexual fell into a pit and couldn't get himself out. A pharasaic fundamentalist came along and said, "You deserve your pit." A psychologist came along and said, "Accept your pit. That way you'll be happy." An apostate liberal came along and said, "Your pit is God's beautiful gift to you." A gay activist came along and said, "Fight for your right to stay in your pit." A researcher came along and said, "Discrimination against pits is illegal." A charismatic came along and said, "Just confess that you're not in that pit." Respectable people came along and said, "We don't associate with pit-dwellers." His mother came along and said, "It's your father's fault you're in that pit." His father came along and said, "It's your mother's fault you're in that pit." His wife came along and said, "It's all my fault you're in that pit." But Jesus, seeing the man, loved him, and reaching into the pit, put his arms around the man and pulled him out.
