Common Myths about Gay Christians

[DaveC519]

The point is, there are Christians with a proclivity, or disposition, towards homosexual sin. Just as there are Christians with a proclivity, or disposition, towards adultery, stealing, gluttony, cursing, anger, violence, etc. Why is it one who struggles with stealing (klepto), anger issues, or heterosexual lust are acknowledged as being Christians who are struggling with the sinful nature of the flesh… but we don’t acknowledge homosexual Christians as being simply Christians who struggle with the predisposition of homosexuality in their flesh???

Again, you’re reading more into my position than what I’ve stated. I didn’t state Christians wouldn’t struggle with temptation.

Stop the hate and simply bring them to Christ. They may have temptations in this area for the rest of their lives. Some may even fall into sin several times throughout their Christian lives, only to get back up and try yet again to live for Jesus.

Wow. Jumping to conclusions, wouldn’t you say? Who said anything about hate?

Human beings are sinful wretched creatures. And there are all kinds of sinners. Christians are sinners who have been forgiven and are now in union with God through the Holy Spirit based on Christ’s righteousness, not their own. And every Christian I have ever known has experienced continued temptation towards a given sin of some sort. Let’s not make this one out to be any different from any other. There is only ONE unforgivable sin. Let’s not start making this one out to be a second, when Scripture states no such thing.

Again…wow! The predilections you have brought here are telling. When we are born again, we become a new creature in Christ Jesus. We disassociate ourselves with all previous “orientations”, regardless of the nature/content/subject matter of any temptations we continue to experience after being born again. All sin is sin. We can never justify sin, because Scripture never does. If we succumb to temptation and sin, we can repent and be forgiven. But we must also remember that “repentance” is defined as a turning away. We are new creatures in Christ Jesus precisely because he gives us power to become new creatures. Without that transforming power, we merely the old creature with a new label.
