We are all born with a sin nature and suffer because of it, but there’s a reason for it. God uses it as a trial for us. Sin is always a choice, you can give in to your desires or not. Young boys from a REALLY early age may feel like their gay. But young boys also feel the desire to lie, cheat, fight other kids, and do other bad things. [b]I would never blame a boy for feeling like he’s gay.[/b] Never. I would simply explain when they are old enough about how we are all tempted. No one’s born gay and doesn’t have a choice, but EVERYONE is born with a sin nature that wants to do bad things. It’s always our choice though. And we should never make fun of or shame or tease people who say they are gay wrong. That’s is very wrong.[/quote]

I would simply tell him he's wrong about his sexual orientation; that it's against biblical authority and if he engages in homosexual acts, he will burn in hell for eternity.  As a Christin, I owe it to him.[/quote]

You know, I want nothing to do with a god who would create gay human beings and then tell them that they have to repress their sexuality and forbid them from ever having a true love relationship based on their desires.  That sounds absolutely malicious and cruel.[/quote]

Like I said before, God doesn’t create gay people. I don’t know how many times I have to emphasize this. PEOPLE ARE BORN WITH A SIN NATURE. This sin nature tempts everyone to do sinful things. But we a choice whether to give in or not.  In Christianity we call this the conflict between your flesh and your spirit. Your spirit wants to do good, but your flesh is weak and gives in easy. God doesn’t want us to repress our sexuality, but to enjoy it. It just had to be done in the right way.[/quote]

Okay why does God create 10% of people whose "sin nature" is to be attracted to other people of the same sex, whereas the other 90% or so of us are attracted to people of the opposite sex but our "sin nature" is....what, I have no idea what it is.

How is someone gay supposed to enjoy his sexuality if he can't express it in the way that he enjoys it?  Would you be able to enjoy your sexuality if you were told it was a sin for you to love someone of the opposite sex, but that the only "right" way was with someone of your sex?  Would you be able to force yourself to enjoy a bed with someone of your own sex?

And if you think a gay man or a lesbian is supposed to force themselves to couple up with someone of the opposite sex, that is completely unfair not just to the gay man or lesbian, but to the partner you think they should be coupling with.  I mean, for Zeus sake, would YOU like to be married to someone who deep down wasn't attracted to your gender and really didn't want to sleep with you but with your sibling of a different sex?

So you are essentially saying that gay people are not allowed to express the sexuality that comes [b]naturally[/b] to them. That, dear one, is called repression. And you are claiming that is what God wants.  I claim that is BS.  [/quote]

Everyone has a different sort of temptation that is hardest for them. It could be lying, cheating, stealing, murder even, homosexuality, and a few more. God didn’t make it extra hard for the 10% who are gay, EVERYONE has a main temptation they face. I wouldn’t force a gay person to get into a heterosexual relationship. All I know is that homosexuality is wrong. There is no universal answer for what ALL gay people should do in terms of a relationship. That’s up to them.

If a told a murderer to stop murdering because it’s wrong, would you accuse me of trying to repress his natural behavior? People are driven to do bad things. If we don’t tell people what’s right and wrong, then the world will continue to be so messed up. Morality is supposed to get you to choose what’s right over your feelings. And to do that, you must force yourself to ignore temptation. That’s the bottom line.

You can claim that everything God says is BS. But I would rather suffer for doing what’s right and ignoring my flesh than burn in hell. That’s much worse than anything you will suffer on Earth,

Think about it. If Satan is real, then he would try to get everyone to hell. How? By saying “Yes you can murder, yes you can lie, and cheat, and steal, because there will be no consequences.”[/quote]
