He hasn't disagreed that it's wrong. He wants to know why it's wrong.

Well, why can't he remain gay and serve God? Why can't he praise the Lord and be gay? Do you mean lifestyle or condition of being? Lifestyle or "why can't he love a man"? Because God says it's not ok. Condition of being? God can change that, but that doesn't mean He will....and I don't believe a person is precluded from serving God just because of a condition of being. If you go to bed at night asking God to take it away...and wake up with nothing changed, you can still praise God because God's worth hasn't decreased because of your present condition. If he can't praise God because he's gay, then no one can praise God and that's not the message in the Bible.

From the moment we surrender to Him, we are to love God with the totality of everything that we are....and God can change *all* things to conform to His best for our lives. And most of all, even if He doesn't.....He is great and glorious and worthy of all of our praise. He sees a picture bigger than we can ever imagine and somehow the pieces we would rather see changed fit into it in such a way that they bring magnificent glory to God. His grace is sufficient even in places where we struggle.
