Think about this....
If a Christian who was struggling with homosexuality and just couldn't make themselves feel attracted to the opposite gender were to read this thread what would be the impression of their hope?
Our God forgives sin. He also secures those who are truly broken hearted and mourn over their sinful inclinations. Our God is full of grace and ever merciful to those who turn to Him through the blood. I'm not perfect...I have sin that I too struggle with. Yet God keeps me and loves me through his grace. I do not stand before him in my own righteousness...I stand before him in Christ's righteousness.
If a struggling homosexual Christian who was contemplating suicide were to read this....will they find hope or condemnation?

Amen! Well said. I agree.
