Re: Something interesting about gays.

I still don't understand why we as Christians attach such an evilness, for lack of a better term, to this particular subject. And therefore attach that evilness to the human being that is struggling with this. Why would we love them less than any other soul? Why are we so afraid to reach out in love? Are we afraid of what others would think of us if we are associated with someone? If so, we should be ashamed, for we should shun most of the world if we go by sins........
I was a VILE sinner, as were we all. But, then there is God. Jesus was not afraid to associate with sinners. How can we talk about how much God we have in us, and not show his love to others?

God can and does remove a persons sinful nature. Romans 7 should always be read along WithRomans 8. Romans 7 is Paul with carnal nature Romans 8 Paul freed from carnal nature.

Re: Something interesting about gays.

I have a stupid question is it a sin to have the desire or is the sin to act upon the desire???

When I got saved its seemed as God delivered me from some of my junk from my past only to have it pop up years later as a struggle.

So am I backsliding because my junk has came back or is God doing a new work in me???

I would say from what I have been reading here that the desire of sin isn't sin until you act upon the desire.

It's not a sin to have a desire or be tempted. Jesus was tempted and faced all the desires of the flesh... yet He is said to have been without sin.

Sin takes place when one acts upon a given desire or temptation.
