He acknowledged he was gay and fought against it trying to change, rather than acknowledging he was without sin and fighting against gay feelings.

Of these little details and order of events mean nothing to you.

I think with most Christian they tend to hide or cover up whats really going on inside themselves, for years (private sins), out of guilt or fear from other reactions right down to rejection!

I think this is what Ray meant, he had these feeling all his life, even as a child, it nothing new to him, he come to a crossroad with his homosexuality, sadly he taken the road that will lead to death. I believe he can find a yield in that path and get off, make it right. This does not mean he'll no longer have these feelings, it just means he'll need to denie them!

He has a big cross to carry, a decision to make, one that would not be easy, one that means spending life alone, as a single man.

It sounds easy, just stop these feelings!

Put yourself in their shoes, just think about it, spending the rest of your life without the love and intimacy or
companionship of a spouse.

Yeah I know this were we interject (God worth it!!)..Yes he is, still not easy thing to do. Think about how you feel for your spouse, now try not every letting yourself feel that way again! Never! Not easy thing to do, nor would I want to live my life denieing those feelings, the way I do towards my spouse!

I don't know if they are born like that or not, but one thing I do know, it's not easy one, most who walk away and marry the opposite sex due to pressures from others, tend to make that person life a nightmare. They can't give the love, they really don't feel it, so most these relationships end up in divorce, them going back into their sinful life worst then before. Leaving the rejected spouse even more confused and hurt, leaving them with many unresolved feelings.

So to be a Christian and homosexual, would mean making a choice, like any other sin,very much like the adulator, they need to decide, do I crossover and follow after my desire or do I denie myself, follow after Christ ????

Ray needs prayer! And understanding, but most of all he needs his brothers and sisters to be there to uphold him, be there in body to catch him if he make a detour on that path, heads back home!
