It's hard to imagine in 2012 people still believe things like this.
Homosexuality is sex with another person. You need two people. There is a serious distinction and I'm baffled as to how people don't see the difference.

ObeyGODCommandments
STICK WITH A BIBLE! FOLLOW CHRIST! STOP SINNING!
I use to struggle a little bit on masturbation myself when I first came to Christ, but I only done it a few times, and than I stop.
When I use to do it for a while, spiritually it has affected my life a lot.
I use to get chastised by the Lord through the spiritual realms for committing this act. No lie, I use to get punish by my Lord God for committing this act.
ONE OF THE SIGNS ARE: If you wake up from a nightmare only to find out that you can't move and that you are being pushed/pressed down against your bed or being under attack while you are under a trance, than that is the Lord God rebuking you. In Hebrews 12:4-13, it is stated that God's children will receive discipline. The punishment can be painful. You might wake up feeling suffocated in the spiritual realm. You might wake up being slammed down to the ground in the spiritual realm. And you might wake up hearing God whisper in your ear with warnings in the spiritual realm. Than all of the sudden, you wake up again to find out that you are on your bed in fear. READ VERSE: Job 33:14-30, Psalm 32:3-5, and Job 4:12-17.
It was scary and also painful. As I kept getting chastise in my sleep, I got a warning from God in my sleep saying that my time is up and that I will die at 7:05 o clock. I wasn't sure if I was going to die at p.m. or a.m. He just said I will die at 7:05 o clock. After I got out of the trance state in my sleep, I got scared and so I repent. After I repented, I no longer get chastisements from the Lord. I've been obedient ever since. I guess he gave me that vision because he knew that I didn't fear God, but ever since I have received that vision, I fear God now only when it comes to obedience.
Ecclesiastes 12:13 Now all has been heard; here is the conclusion of the matter: Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole [duty] of man.
I try my best to keep and obey God's commandments because that is his will for me.
Now that I am free from sin (meaning that I have stop sinning), my faith is always being tested whenever I am put under a deep sleep. So there are moments when I do receive perverted/sexual visions in which I have to go through these trials every so often. However, these perverted/sexual visions also helps relieve my sexual tensions because my Lord Jesus Christ helps me when I'm tempted by allowing these dreams/visions to put me into a spiritual arousal/ecstasy. I do not believe that God would allow these things to occur because he wants me to commit sin in my waking life. I believe that God allows these things to happen because he knows that testing my faith by leading me into temptation will help me learn how to endure and persevere in all my waking trials/temptations so that I do not have the desire to commit sin.
According to verse James 1:2-4, James says, “Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.”
READ VERSE JAMES 1:13-15 AND 1 CORINTHIANS 10:13 WHICH SPEAKS ABOUT HOW GOD HELPS US WHEN TEMPTED:
James 1:13-15 When tempted, no one should say, “God is tempting me.” For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone; but each one is tempted when, by his own evil desire, he is dragged away and enticed. Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.
1 Corinthians 10:13 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.
Read the whole chapter or the whole verse to 1 Corinthians 10:1-13 which speaks about "Warnings From Israel’s History."
Read Hebrews 2:14-18
Jesus Made Like His Brothers:
Hebrews 2:14-18 Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might destroy him who holds the power of death—that is, the devil— and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death. For surely it is not angels he helps, but Abraham’s descendants. For this reason he had to be made like his brothers in every way, in order that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in service to God, and that he might make atonement for the sins of the people. Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted.
Also read Hebrew 4:14-16
Jesus the Great High Priest:
Hebrew 4:14-16 Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has gone through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess. For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet was without sin. Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.
Like I stated, My Lord God helps me when I am tempted. So if my Lord God can do this for me, he can also do this for his children as well.
This is why Jesus stated, "Pray that you will not fall into temptation." (Luke 22:40)
That prayer can be found in verse (Matthew 6:10-13).
This is how you should pray: ‘Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come,
your will be done
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
Forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from the evil one.
Amen.’ (Matthew 6:10-13)
