@xXrEMmUsXx - I do know, but, not having an opinion doesn't work.  I appreciate that you don't want to speak to something you don't understand.  The problem is, God tells us he fully understands and has the answer for the sins of humans, even when we don't know what to do.  God knows what to do, and he tells us he knows what to do.

Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived:

Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men10 

nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.

11 And that is what some of you were

. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.
1 Corinthians 6:9-11

I love how the Holy Spirit through Paul hits all the players who are sexually immoral, the sexually immoral (fornicators), nor idolaters (a great deal of pagan worship incorporated sexual acts), adulterers, and men who have sex with other men.   There we have it; This is what God thinks about ALL sexual immorality.  God has consistently, in both Old and New Testaments, condemned sexual immorality among humans.  BUT in the Old Testament God's only answer was death.  God knows once sexual immorality gets hold of people it destroys them.  God doesn't condemn people because he's a prude who doesn't like sex. God created sex, it's his idea, and he absolutely meant for it to be pleasurable.  But God knew that when people started allowing sex to control them that they would do anything to have the sexual high.  

Many years ago, when I was a little kid, researchers started doing research with monkeys and cocaine.   The monkeys would push a button to get the cocaine, and they would go ape s*** if they couldn't get the drug.  If allowed to, the monkeys would push the button until the drug killed them, so long as they got the pleasure.  Some enterprising researcher said what if we could stimulate monkeys the same way, but using the pleasure receptors for sex.  Guess what the monkeys did?  The would push the sexual pleasure button until they died. 

When you've been given nothing to live for, and someone offers you the fleeting pleasure of sex you'll settle for sex, because it is the only thing you know.  Deeply sexually immoral people are relationally broken people.  They settle for sex, because it's all they've been allowed to experience.  How could anyone deny a gay person what he desires??   I'll tell you who can deny a gay person what he desires, I CAN.  That is exactly what I did, I denied MYSELF, my gay desires.  And do you know why I denied myself?  Because Jesus promised better than a blow job or a dick in my a**.  There was a kid who came out of the closet his Freshman year of college, and he denied himself nothing of gay pleasure.  Before the end of the school year in May, he was dead.  He didn't die of AIDS, he died from complications due to rough anal sex.  I know you don't know anything about that, but you can hold to God's opinion on the matter.  You can listen to Christ when he says,

"Jesus replied, “

Very truly I tell you, everyone who sins is a slave to sin.35 

Now a slave has no permanent place in the family, but a son belongs to it forever.

36 So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.

" John8:34-36

You can believe that Jesus died on a cross, was dead and buried, and rose from the dead, and he did it to free the slaves to sin...EVERY SIN.  Even the sins you don't know what to think about.   If you simply hold to the truth that Jesus wants to set me free, and that he can set me free then you don't have to know anything more.  God will do the rest.  To believe Jesus is to believe Jesus can make us free from every sin. 

Jesus tells us, "In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” John 16:33 

When Jesus speaks of overcoming the world he is using very old military terms.  When a powerful military leader wanted to send a powerful message to world around him he would lead his troops into battle with a particular order.  He would tell his soldiers he wanted to overcome his enemies.  When soldiers heard "overcome" they knew that they were to kill every living creature, tear down; burn down; utter demolish the city.  When the soldiers were finished with the city there would be nothing but smoulder piles of ash, dust and rubble, which they would pile into huge mounds.  When everything in the city was reduced to smouldering piles of rubble, the military leader would find the highest mound of rubble, and he would climb to the very top, and when he reached the pinnacle, he would stop just short of the very tippy top, and he would place the sole of his shoe on the very pinnacle.  Placing the sole of a military leaders foot on the pinnacle of the tallest pile of rubble is exactly what Jesus was saying, "I have overcome the world."  All of the sins in and of the world were utterly destroyed and left in smouldering piles of rubble when Jesus completed his work on the cross, and then rose from the dead. 

We can't not have an opinion!  We can't go around condemning LGBTQ people!  We can't accept homosexuality as innate in human beings!  We can only do what Jesus does!!   We must overcome the world, because that is what being "born again" means.  

"Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and everyone who loves the father loves his child as well.

2 

This is how we know that we love the children of God: by loving God and carrying out his commands.

3 

In fact, this is love for God: to keep his commands. And his commands are not burdensome,

4 for everyone born of God overcomes the world.

"

I'm not free from sexual immorality because I changed my feelings, I'm free because God has made me born of his own Spirit.  Everyone born of God overcomes the world.  Jesus overcame the world through his death, burial, and resurrection.  Overcoming the world is simply my birthright; it's my DNA; God decided to give me a new spirit and to place the Holy Spirit inside with that new spirit.  All I've done is fall in love with Jesus, and he literally did the rest. 

Surely you've read about my hooker friend, "Lilly", in some of my recent posts.   "Lilly" was the AIDS infected hooker who used to come into the soup kitchen where I ministered for many years.  I didn't like Lilly, at first, but because I believed in a world overcoming Christ, God was able to give me love and faith that Lilly could be loved and freed by God.  I didn't know how to set Lilly free.  The only thing I was absolutely convinced of was the Jesus could overcome Lilly's sin, and lead her into a loving relationship with God.   When I was overcome with the belief God could love and free Lilly, then I reached out Lilly. 

Summer you don't have to know what to do, or what to make of homosexuality.  All you have to do is love Jesus Christ, and believe that Jesus Christ has overcome the world.  If you will do those two things, God will lead you to the way to do all the rest, just like he did me.  God is no respecter of persons.  All God needs is a group of believer who will trust and believe him, more than they'll believe what their own feelings, and a lost dying world is lying to them about.  Don't drink the cool-aid kiddo.  No matter how much the slaves shout they are doing what they love doing, they're lying.  Just like Lilly and her hooker pals lied about loving what they were doing.  They couldn't see anyway out of their slavery, so they had to try to make everyone else think they were doing just what they wanted to be doing, but just being around them showed what liars they were.  And Lilly by the way did come to salvation in Jesus Christ. 

Sexually and relationally broken people need for someone to come to them and "give" them their voices back.  All I did was give Lilly a voice to cry out to God, and when I did God heard her, and answered her.  We thought, Lilly and I, that once we were caught in our lifestyles we were stuck their forever.  We tried to put the best face on it, tried to sell everyone the idea we were fine and dandy, but we were being used up and dying.   I was taught by my human dad, and my monster uncle that no one would ever hear me, and even if they did no one would believe me.  When I left my homosexual lifestyle I was an atheist.  I'd studied history and science and the whole "born that way thing," never added up, but even that couldn't convince me to leave homosexuality. 

What finally turned me from homosexuality was an incident with my group of close friends, we called ourselves "The Closet Cases. "  We called ourselves that, because most of us had decided to stay in the closet.  Most of us were in the closet as an act of solidarity with our friend who had to move away for a while, because gay activists were going to out him, because he had a high profile job.  Anyway in early 1987 we learned that one of our group had full blown AIDS.  We were devastated, and got together at a local bar and grill for a pity party.  I suggested we needed to seriously rethink the way we'd all been living.  I wasn't suggesting we stop being gay, I never thought about that as even an option.  I just knew we were "f***ing ourselves to death.   There was someone there that night who wasn't one of our usual group.  This guy never had to hide the fact he was gay.  He was so completely gorgeous he was always well taken care of by every man who'd had him.  This beautiful man is the real reason I left homosexuality.  He may have been good looking, but he was as stupid as a rock.  

When this gorgeous gay guy heard me talking to my group of friends he grabbed me by the arm and shoved half my butt down on my chair, and sat half his butt on my chair as well.  He said, "Now you just sit your a** down, and shut your f***ing mouth!!!"    He then lectured me:  "Who do you think is going to take care of you when you get AIDS?!"   He looked down his pretty little nose, and pierced me with those deep blue eyes, and practically spat out, "You think the religious people are gonna help you, and support you, when you're sick and can't take care of yourself...HMMMMMMM?!?!"    He kept an iron grip on my arm the whole time he lectured me.  "NO!"  They [religious goody goodies] aren't going to take care of you!  We will be there to take care of you!" 

There are lots and lots of people who call themselves gay who want desperately to leave, but it is a very hard thing to do.  The activist leadership of the LGBT community have used religious bigots as one form of pressure to keep people like me in line.  "Sit your a** down, and shut your f***ing mouth."   Activists, the very people who claim to represent LGBT people are as ruthless as the dad who handed me over to the abuse of my uncle, and the uncle who abused me.  They take the voices of people away.  The unfortunate truth is, Christian people have, unwittingly, helped the activist leaders stay in power, by PROVING the activist leaders 100% right.    I left homosexuality in early 1987, 26 years ago, and all these years later Christians won't stand up for and with LGBT people who want to escape their homosexual lifestyle.  Some Christians condemn, some swallow the lie of homosexuality as God created, and some sit on the fence not having an opinion.  When people who claim to love Christ sit by, condemning, accepting, not thinking anything at all, all they do is keep a relationally broken person from finding their voice to cry out to a God, who hung his only Son on a Roman cross that they may be free, and that they may have true worth. 

@BookMark61 - Actually, the book is more for the Church than it is anyone held prisoner to sexual sin.  Sexually broken people are all put off by me.   It is the average every day saint which will reach the sexually broken people.  When the Church realizes that what frees is God making people born again, and that through that new life he creates true relationship with us, and then true relationship with our brothers and sisters in Christ, then the sexually immoral will flock to the Church.  it isn't about changing feelings, it's about being born of God, and living in relationship with God and his people.   All anyone needs to help the sexually immoral is a life giving relationship with God through Jesus Christ.  When the Church finally takes God at his word, and Church, again becomes the family of God, and not a business or institution then we'll see Christ in his Church doing what he has always done, saving, freeing, healing, loving and overcoming everything the broken world has broken.  It is so simple and powerful, but people like to think God does what they want, and everything has to work as long as they rubber stamp God's name on it, then sing a few praise songs, and finally have a nice warm fuzzy message.  

@musterion99 - I feel it has a certain je ne sais quoi.  It'll sell or get burned! 

@trunthepaige - ME TOO!  I still have my doubts but I am plugging away at it. 

@xXrEMmUsXx - Sorry decided to go in a slightly different direction with it, but thanks for permission to use your comment and my comment.  Maybe some other time.

Blessings,
