For instance: A little boy (we have termed thru the years as a sissy) fits in better with little girls growing up and as he grows up he begins to be attracted to the same things the girls are (other boys). this is only a opinion!

Also: A little boy or girl grows up in a unbalanced home with only a feminine or masculine figure in their life. this is only and opinion!

Also: A child being sexually abused could cause sexuality confusion.this is only and opinion!

I personally believe most every human alive has had some strange fleeting thoughts about sexual perversion in their life, but most don't allow the thought to stay in their minds, while others may be in a more friendly enviroment to such ways of thinking. I believe the media now potrays homosexuality as a positive and acceptable behavior and people are more comfortable with the the idea. I don't believe people are born homosexual, but I believe it is developed some through personality (can't be helped), experiences(may not can be helped), and choices(can be helped).

People who are involved in beastiality probably have a attraction or a lustful desire to an animal. Can we say because of this attraction that this person is a animosexual and excuse it and proclaim it normal. Maybe even legalize marriage between man and beast? certainly not. We should not be abusive to people for their different choices, neither should people force acceptance of those choice on others. I will treat the homosexual with the same respect I will the heterosexual, but I will never agree with that behavior because it is Biblically wrong.

I do believe that most homosexuals probably can't help their attractions to the same sex. I think that sinful nature is something we are all born with and it was not the will of God. We can thank Adam and Eve for that not God. I hope people understand that it is not God's fault because of your sexual desires.

James 1:13 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:
14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.
15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.

God is 100% righeousness. He doesn't desire us to go to Hell, but I believe outside of God
hell is the only other thing. God's rightousness keeps Him from fellowship with the works of unrightousness. (its nothing personal)


Amen brother, good post.

I think that homosexuality is presented by evil spirits to ALL souls at some given time in their lives. The majority of folks just think it is a "weird" thought that they had and dismiss it. But a small fraction just give in to the tempter and try it.

I had a co-worker friend that was a mans' man(now deceased), tough as nails., he also was a brother in the church.
He told me he was in his 20's and out partying with friends and a carload of homosexual men gave him a ride somewhere. He said when he got in the car, he immediately felt a euphoria(like a headrush) of immoral thoughts in his head, he never even heard of pentecost at the time. He said he had to get out of the car because of the "high" he was feeling. He came very close to turning gay for the moment.

Folks need to realize that evil spirits are influencing them to continue these (besetting) sins. If these folks could actually see the spirits that are tempting them, they would stop immediately. I could tell much more stories of "spiritual" attacks because of besetting sins, but it would just send us down a rabbit hole of demon talk.
