Great Post! I get tired of this close-minded narrow thinking a lot of conservative Christians have, and how they choose to preach it. Now the Extreme is going around picketing "Your Son's Burning in Hell", or "God Hates Gays". I think those are lies and I think the way people go about doing that...

I totally relate to this post! For years I have tried to go from Gay to Straight, and I have just continually failed. I'm not saying I'm fully done exploring the issue but your frustration is my frustration! I just feel that If God truly loved and cared about us then why aren't more ex-gay...

Great points. I agree with what your saying. However, I think there is a tendency to lump everyone who has homosexual feelings in ONE group. Thats were things like lifestyle is born. When you have a group of people who all share one quality and they are observed and there are tendencies that...

I think this brings and interesting topic of discussion. On one hand to know Jesus means to follow his commandments. However with that comes a standard for us all, and do I think that people live up to that? Well its hard to say. There are plenty of traditions in the bible that we don't seem to...

Now your starting to confuse me. I get the notion of God loves the sinner and hates the sin, that is generally acceptable, I also get that as sinners we must continually seek repentance and come clean with God. What I don't agree with is how you categorized the person who is gay in a different...

Well this is why i haven't settled in my heart that everything is peachy. Everything ISN'T okay and I let God know. I do accept Jesus as my personal savior and I try to walk with him, and sure I screw up sometimes. I never really got the notion of "WE ARE SINFUL TO THE CORE". I mean I accept...

While my heart goes out to what these men experienced, Much of what they were dealing with for me, just categorized just how much we are all broken inside. A broken past and a history of injury. My doubts come mainly in the form of definition. That is while these men certainly had a painful...

From what I got out of the post, what he seems to be bringing up is the fact that bible seems to continue to regard the specific act of homosexual sex as immoral. While i find it true that this seems to be the wide assumption, I stated clearly that this seems to be an extreme misinterpretation...

You bring up great points. For the most part I agree with your understanding of the passages however I do offer some questions. While I do find that for the most part the bible's references to homosexual acts are in context of immoral sinful behavior, I have to question if this is a fully...

My Full statement about that was this: "The fact remains that Jesus didn't address homosexuality. Now of course that doesn't really end the fact that It can still be considered sinful after all it is talked about in the new testament and just because Jesus didn't talk about it doesn't mean it...

Interesting find. However, the main problem I have with these points is that I don't think they would differ that much to what a heterosexual would deal with. In fact many of my heterosexual male friends have had a distant relationship with their father yet they still turned out straight. Also...

While I strongly agree that their should be one coherent message of Christ, I don't think its so easy to simply separate the two view points and call one righteous and one sinful. Plus, does the two opposing viewpoints ultimately reference to two opposing viewpoints of Christ? While I agree that...

I think your notion is wrong. While I certainly support parents talking openly to their kids, I think its not really the parent's "fault". When I told my parent's about my sexual attraction towards men I don't think if they apologized to me it would all of the sudden make me some how change. In...

I understand what your saying. The thing is I do love God and I do want to do what's right (heck its why I'm tormenting over this to begin with). The problem I keep arriving to is to me it doesn't seem fully wrong. Now I know that their are certainly sinful behaviors that accompany any kind of...

Sorry if I didn't make myself clearer. While sure I can fall into lust for another man, just the same as anyone can be tempted by any sin, what I'm questioning is the initial desire to begin with. For example, while you can lust after a woman you ultimately don't need to change the very nature...

Hey Everyone, I have been posting on this board for a bit now, I have explained that While I struggle with Homosexuality I ultimately considered it against God's will. However recently I have just gotten tired holding up this belief. See one thing you have to know about me is that while I have...

Hi SeekinTruth, First off, Thanks for your honest post! Unfortunately I'm probably not going to be able to give you a solid answer. See I'm kinda in the same boat you are. I have been struggling with homosexuality for years and when I first started to feel attracted to other men, It felt right...

But is the conclusion really that simple? I mean if i thought homosexuality was morally wrong would i be looked at in the same light as the people that actively hate gay people? What if i had a good reason to be concerned that it was morally wrong? What if my reason was because I cared and was...

Its a great thought tulc, and one that I think people should begin to take seriously you bring up good points. I feel as though someone is more capable of seeing the truth when the have an open mind on hearing out both sides. Sure they may believe something is one way, but in order to believe in...

Seems like this word is tossed around a lot but I have serious questions on how the word is used because it seems to be accusing a lot. I am a Christian. I have struggled with homosexuality for many years. After examining my heart and other factors of my life, I couldn't feel comfortable...
