Although I was never involved in that sin whatsoever, I am sure some here can attest to the fact that God delivers from homosexuality. However, Boltz knew God to an extent and fought homosexuality and now accepts it openly. I do not know if he has any hope due to that, but I pray as though he does and believe God to show him his error.

I know 4 people personally who were in the church had been baptised and once filled with the Holy Ghost who said they had fought homosexuality for years before they finally gave in. Things like "I begged God to deliver me" etc... and because the temptation wasn't lifted they finally gave in and the four I know personally who said these things are very openly gay now. One I sang in the choir with, now is "married" and has a son with his husband.
Homosexuality is not the worst of all sins but it sure is a powerful one when entertained.
And that said, people struggling with this need prayer and encouragement and accountability and in most cases they hide it instead.
I do pray for those I know who have gone this way, as I pray for those who've fallen into other sins.
It's very sad to me.
And as someone said "sick" it's truely "sin-sick".
