This is very true. I also think that's why people suddenly snap and mess up their lives. They have lived with these tendencies for years and maybe no one knew it, and suddenly one day they decide they can't do it anymore and they get into sin. It wasn't an overnight thing; usually they had struggled for years. But we would have all said that they were saved, up until the point they gave in to sin.

Very true. Same with adultery or fornication.

This is absolutely the truth Aquila and it is interesting to me that we have ministries for everyone except this group of people...we are afraid to handle this issue.

For those who think that gays can simply change their sexual attractions, I ask you...do you believe this because you feel you could conceivably change your orientation and attractions to being homosexual?

My wife and I were in San Francisco last Summer. We had a wonderful time and I didn't see all the insanity I had always heard about. It's really a wonderful place. BUT...I did see one thing. My wife and I were walking down the street and a very attractive blond walked right past us (sorry guys, confession time here), I caught her out of the corner of my eye and I almost instinctively I checked her out. My wife caught me and started laughing. I asked her, "What's so funny?" She said, "You checked that blond out didn't you?" I said, "Honey, I couldn't help it, she caught my eye, I'm not following her, nor do I have any crazy intention of running off with her. She was very attractive. A bird just flew over my head." My wife continued to laugh. Slightly aggravated, I asked, "Why are you laughing?!" She said, "That was a dude." I said, "Nuh, uh. That was a lady." My wife insisted, now almost laughing so hard she was starting to cry, "No, that was a man!" We turned around and watched her, it, ...I mean,... him....cross the street. After really looking I could tell that it really was a guy! YUUUUUUCKKKK!!!!!

My wife now teases me mercilessly about it when we talk about our trip to San Fransisco.

I learned my lesson well.
