Good post.

Have you ever heard of Dr. Michael L. Brown? He’s got a particular burden for Biblically seeing the church combat the homosexual agenda in our culture in love, by ‘reaching out, but yet resisting (the sin)’. If you haven’t heard him, then I’m sure you’d be motivated and stirred by some of his teachings on the matter.

Blessings and keep on preaching truth!

Stephen,
If I may, you state If we have the new nature, then it is a battle between our old nature, and new nature. I still have thoughts,… that brother is what I call living Faith! Dead folks don’t struggle, only those who are alive struggle! Thanks for sharing God’s life transforming grace. It has never been an issue of hetero and homo, it will alsways be a battle of Truth vs Lie. May God’s blessings be abundant.

One cannot be a christian and claim to be a homosexual or gay. That is an oxymoron. As a former homosexual, which I renounced when I finally accepted Christ, and upon accepting Christ, was baptized in the Holy Spirit, which happens at conversion, homosexual practice cannot be apart of the Christian’s life. It cannot be the ongoing longing to be with members of the same sex. My longing is to become like Jesus Christ, recognizing my sin, and that homosexuality is sin, and any entertained thought of homosexuality is sin. The beauty of Jesus Christ is that He has paid for all of my sin, past-present&future, what He in turn gives us the power to actually do is to NOT practice sin. If we have the new nature, then it is a battle between our old nature, and new nature. I still have thoughts, and they are getting less, but that is the battle which the Christian is faced with, not with flesh and blood, but against principalities, dominions, and all of the fallen angelic spheres which want any christian to fall and any to not know Jesus Christ!
There is a quote that I got from Mat Staver’s book called “Same-sex Marriage”, in chapter 4, near the end, talking about morality’s erosion in America:
” If the camel’s nose ever gets underneath the tent, the tent is history. The camel is coming, but it’s not too late to prevent the creature from bringing down the house. ”
I hope this is true! I do think that it is not a matter of IF God will judge us but WHEN!
Regards in Yeshua,
who was and who is and who is to come

I could be wrong – but I see no way anyone who has the spirit of Christ living in them (Holy Spirit) can possible think without a thorough moaning of the Holy Spirit – same sex relationships are Holy or God’s will.
I truly pray it’s only a stage of rebellion before they turn back to the Truth and repent.

I must admit – I believe they are hanging by a thread over the depths of Hell. God will give them up and give them exactly what they have desired – we must pray for them.
