10/19 "I'm Gay, OK?"
Quote From: godin44
- All translations of the Holy Bible state that homosexuality is a sin. The KJV, NIV and NAS translations are word for word translations. This means they were translated from the original Hebrew and Greek texts. You are looking for an "out" for your sin., which is human nature. No one is sinless, except Jesus. But we are told to confess our sins and give them to God. When your sin becomes a lifestyle, your are not living in the way God has asked us to: Galations chapter 5 says...
- 16So I say, live by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature. 17For the sinful nature desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the sinful nature. They are in conflict with each other, so that you do not do what you want. 18But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under law.
19The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; 20idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions 21and 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.
22But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. 24Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature with its passions and desires. 25Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. 26Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other.
Please get counceling from a trusted christian councelor. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! You have said what I wished I could say, but could never fit it into words without looking like a gay-basher. I don't hate gays, but I do NOT believe that being gay is natural. People who are abusive sometimes feel they can't control themselves. Is it their fault? It may not, but it's not NATURAL. Most abusers become abusive because they were abused at some point. No one is BORN gay, it's something that is developed because of something that happend. Like the man who said gays can change said, it could have to do with bad relationships with your mother or father. You may not chose to be gay, but it isn't something natural. If it's against God's law, he wouldn't MAKE someone gay, just like he doesn't MAKE people kill someone else. I think all gays are straight deep down, but it takes counseling and really wanting to become straight to uncover it. Like alchoholics or smokers. They made the choice to start, so they feel they can't stop. SOMETHING started it. I'm not saying it's your fault that your gay, but you can change if you want to. If you are an alchoholic and you TRULY want to quit and are willing to do anything to do so, you'll succeed. Same with becoming straight. If you have the desire to stop being gay, you can do it. Some of you may think it IS natural to be gay, but I do not. God would not do something that cruel, He would NOT say that you shouldn't be gay and then make someone gay. He made everyone NATURALLY straight, and something could happen that makes them change, but it doesn't mean that their straight self isn't still there. I have depression/anxiety and I know I didn't naturally have it. Several things happend to me that triggered it, but that doesn't mean I'm going to sit around and use it as an excuse. I'm taking medication and I've had counceling, I'm doing everything I can to change. I'm not going to let it affect me and complain that it's the reason some people don't like me or that I have troubles. I know I don't know what it's like to be homosexual, but I do have struggles and you CAN control them. You don't have to let it control your life if you don't want it to.
