Jesus is God, not gay. He wants gay people to turn from their sinful ways and have new life.

WellΒ that'd be a load of donkey cock and lies. You can't change being gay famo.

You can't change being gay

All sinful ways can be changed, if the person is willing.

There have been those willing, but didn't change

If they were genuine in their desire to come to God and be changed, then they would have. God is not a liar, and He can do all things. He loves us and wants us to come to Him with a true heart. I've seen many "gay" people come to the Lord and He made them new.

Well it's failed many times. Also why even allow them to be gay to begin with. Also if be can do all things then why even have sin?
π: 0 β©: 1
God didn't create our sin. We brought this sin into His perfect world, and so we are responsible for our actions and choices. Even though we screwed things up though, God made a way for us to be saved from ourselves through Jesus Christ.

Quick Question. How does one Β turn from being gay? I've heard of ex-gay ministries, but those don't actually work. If they did, why doesn't each one use the same technique. Now then, scientifically, sexual orientation is not a choice. (ooooohhh science) The fetus is feminized in the womb, and the child turns out gay. Not only that but why else would the male prostate be considered the male g-spot? Why is it there?(Other than it's connection with sperm) And besides, based on how many people that are beaten, murdered, and bullied because of their sexuality why would someone CHOOSE to be gay? These are the questions that no one truly ever answers... Maybe you could answer them for me.

Someone turns from being "gay" in the same way one turns from the temptation to commit adultery, fornication, or even murder. Everyone is capable of homosexuality, but there is a thing called self-control and having morals instilled in us by God. Some people choose to ignore God's moral law and have an affair, commit a crime, rape someone, or have "gay" relations.
As far as science goes, there have been no definitive studies that prove people are born "gay" or straight. There have been rare mutations where a baby is born with both sex organs, but these are mutations that are usually harmful to the baby and cause a disrupted hormonal state. The homosexual culture has been strongly linked to childhood and how they were raised. Every "gay" person I've knows has had a messed-up childhood, or been exposed to things like sex and porn at an early age. Many have poor or no father figures, or abusive mothers. Only in the fictional media have there been "gays" who had a wonderful childhood and still turned out "gay". It's all about the influences a person receives in their youth and the choices they make later in life.
I told someone else recently that there is much confusion these days due to the public insisting that people are born "gay" and can't help themselves. The big problem with this new mindset is that now "gay" people have it in their heads that they are what they do, and nothing can change that, so they accept the public's lies to cope with their confusion and feel accepted, and thus are blind to looking inward at the personal choices they are making. So even if a homosexual gets harassed and beaten up, since they have engrained the mindset that they are what they are and cannot change, they never try to change.
Yes, I have heard the stories of gays who supposedly tried not to be gay and couldn't, but those are not true repentance stories. In order for real change to happen, the person has to have a genuine desire to leave sin behind and turn fully to God for forgiveness and new life.
If you want a first-hand account, here is mine: I was quite a tomboy in my childhood. I had two brothers long before my little sister came along, and I preferred playing with boys instead of the girls because I felt I didn't fit in with the girl crowd. My dad was absent most of the time for work travels, and mom was the main authority for the longest time. This is not what a family should be. The father and mother are meant to be a team raising the kids and teaching them. I later found out that I have Autism, which is why I preferred being with boys and identified more with them than girls. The higher pitches in voice, bright girly colors, and eye contact were far more evident with girls than boys.
I hope this answered your questions and that you took the time to thoroughly read it, like I read yours.

I'm sorry, apparently, I've been mislead, the fetus is in fact not feminized in the womb. You being autistic and hanging out with boys most of your life and your life at home being extremely unpleasant does not tell me anything other than the fact that you like to hang out with boys. What does that have to do with sexual orientation. Let me ask you a question and don't freak out but; Can you turn your Autism on and off? Can you gain an attraction to females? (I assume because you said "tom-boy" you're female.) Personally, if you can't do these things, you have no right to come after anyone else because of their sexuality or rather even outwardly oppose it. Judging by your profile, I'd like to believe you're Christian. Β So, ask yourself this simple question: Why, when you read the Bible, are you not left in awe? Why doesn't a book written by an omniscient being leave you with a sense of wonder and amazement? If you are reading a book written by the all-powerful, all-knowing, all-loving creator of the universe, wouldn't you expect to be stunned by the brilliance, the clarity and the wisdom of the author? Would you not expect each new page to intoxicate you with its incredible prose and its spectacular insight? Wouldn't you expect the author to tell us things that scientists have not been able to discover yet?
Yet, when we open the Bible and actually read it, we find it is nothing like that at all. Instead of leaving us in awe, it leaves us dumbfounded by all of the nonsense and backwardness that it contains. If you read what the Bible actually says, you find that the Bible is ridiculous.Β

I take it you didn't read my previous response thoroughly, or you would know.
Autism is not something that a person chooses to have and I can't turn it off. I live with it. As I said before, homosexual acts are things people choose to do. Two people of the same sex can love each other without getting sexual. The media and culture has skewed and confused what love is so people think love = sex, but they have it all wrong. God created sex for the intimacy and pleasure of a married man and woman and to procreate. It's not just something anyone can do with anybody. But the culture has twisted it, primarily in media, so now everyone has blurred the lines of sexuality and think they can do whatever they want.
The Bible seems ridiculous to you because you go to it already assuming it's ridiculous, and not with an open heart to actually learn something. Before I was born again, whenever I tried to read the Bible, I thought it was stupid and confusing, but after I accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior, my eyes were opened and suddenly it was all clear, and I can understand it. God knows our hearts, and when someone comes with His wisdom in them, the Bible is clear. Unsaved people like you can't fathom this because you do not know God, and you are happy to live in rebellion.
The magic gene scientists are looking for that proves people are either born gay or straight hasn't been found yet because it's doesn't exist. Human genes are so easy to interpret now that if a "gay" gene did exist, they definitely would have found it by now.
π: 0 β©: 1
No. I specifically said "Can you turn your Autism on and off? Can you gain an attraction to females?" To give you an idea of what I mean. I take everything with an open heart, but if it sounds odd, I'm going to point out what I feel is odd and ask questions about that. I want you to try to be gay, for a month. If your month is successful, your actually bi, if not then you only prove my point. Either way, why the hell does it matter. It's like getting on someones case for eating a slice of cake, because your on a diet.
And no, I'm not happy to live in rebellion, I'm happy to live with rational thought. Now I do understand what you mean by the whole people think love=sex, but to be honest, what someone does with their genitalia is none of your business. I guess you don't know what anal sex is, and what the prostate and the nerve endings in the anus do during anal...
Yes, sex is for intimacy and pleasure, and to procreate, but not all the time. If you want intimacy and pleasure, stopΒ circumcisingΒ your children's penises. The foreskin has more than 50% of the sensitive nerve endings in the penis. You would know that if you actually questioned the things around you, and looked more into a subject before you argue against it. Not to mention the fact that the world is considered over-populated and the more gay babies that are born, the more population control there is. Also, being "born again"? Being born is being brought into existence. If you can remember these things you already existed, so unless you literally died (your body stopped all processes) and came back to life without good analytical skills, you are not telling the truth.Β
So in conclusion,Β God will take care of it if it truly is a problem, so Christians don't need to be all that involved, like at all. If homosexuality was that bad, God would've done some shit. And if God is all powerful, a person can be easily changed by him, even without consent. If he is all knowing, he would know which baby is gay and make them straight or just make everyone heterosexual, and if he was both, there would be no problems. Murderers, adulterers, pedophiles, rapists, thieves, and liars would not exist if God was both of these, and omniscient...
(P.S.-Notice how I left out homosexuals, and all of the otherΒ sexualities, and people who identify as transgender, or don't identify with one, or both. Because their not evil. We're born gay, bi, pan, straight, etc, you were TAUGHT the Bible. Sit down Becky, and sip your wine, and let us gays enjoy our tea Β Β Β Β Β .)

You claim to think rationally, but everything about all these made-up sexualities is totally irrational. It's unnatural. If it were all well and good, then these perverted acts wouldn't cause physical harm and long-term psychological problems. I doubt you'll bother reading it with your supposed rational thinking, but I will share this article anyway in hopes that someone will come to their senses by reading it.

From what the comment section of this article tells me, the article is extremely opinionated. I checked out an article on this site that talked about a Muslim mayor in London banning "sexy advertisements" I skimmed through it and even then I could clearly see the writers opinion shoved all through it. That alone tells me this site is run by uninformed people.Β So with that being said this article is most likely false and/or extremely biased. Β Also, the article confuses gender with sex. Sex is what is on the outside aka, penis, vagina, or, both(intersex). Gender however, is a vast spectrum of self and social identification in which each person falls into. Β It's all about how a person feels.
Next, the fact that you say that sexualities are made-up is false. In fact, people are proven to have attractions to different genders than you think. Since I checked out your completely biased, right winged article, I'dΒ like you to check out this more well known and less biased website. This article may be a little bit old but its what is accepted by rational people today.Β healthland.time.com/2011/08/23β¦

Seriously? How signifying to our King. Also, Jesus would tell gays what he told Mary, "Go and sin no more."

didint jesus preach to love one another?
didint he or his dad say "be fruitful and multiply"

God is love. Why can't people understand that? I'm a gay Christian, and I think God will be okay with us gays. It's the adultery that He's not okay with. I just wish people would shut up and move on with their lives. The way I see it is: God will take care of it if it truly is a problem, so Christians don't need to be all that involved, like at all. That's how I see it anyways. Love the picture by the way!

If you think about it...Jesus hung out with those discriminated against and who people believed were disgusting or freaks.
I'm pretty sure he'd have a lot of gay friends today.

Yes but like the woman "caught in adultery" they were about to stone, he saved her but also told her to "go and sin no more."
His love for her enabled her to do that. Many people look for love in the wrong places. It's a legit need, just misdirected.

And where does it say homosexuality is sin?

from a friend on the computer, did what it told me to, and within a week,
everything I had wished came true!! Here's an exact copy,

works!!!!
*************************************************************
1. To yourself, say the name of the only guy or girl you wanna be with 3
times!
*************************************************************
2. Think of something you wanna accomplish within the next week and say
it to your self 6 times!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3. If you had 1 wish what would it be? say it to yourself 9 times!!!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
4. Think of something that you want to happen between you and that
1special person and say it to your self 12 times!!!
--------------------------------------------------------------------
5. Now, heres the hard part! Pick only 1 of these wishes and as you scroll
down focus and concentrate on it and think on nothing else but that wish.

Now make one last & final wish about that one wish that you picked.
After reading this, you have 1 hour to send it out to 15 people, and what
you wished for will come true within in one week!
u only get one chance!!!!! Now scroll down and think of your
crush!!!
Keep going
down
Keep going
Keep
going
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Did you think of your crush? I hope so, that was your last chance. Now
pay very close attention this important message!
Sorry but once read, must be sent. Yes, this is one of those kinda chain
letters that everyone hates. This one has been going since 1864 and if you
break this chain, you will pay!!!!!! Remember that after hearing these
stories.
First Example:
Take Barbra Wallace.. She was a pretty lucky girl, up till she got this same
chain letter. She had a crush on the same kid since kindergarden. when she
got this mail she didn't pay any attention to it. She just thought, no big deal.
And deleted it. The next day her dad got fired and her mom dies in a car
crash. If she would have sent the letter none of that would have happened
and her mom would be alive.
Second Example:
Try Freddie D. Now Freddie D. was your average nerd. Had glasses, was
short and chubby, was in gifted. All the signs of
your total dork. He also received this letter and sent it to 51
people in the hour. Now, like Barbra, he had a crush on a girl since 3rd
grade. The next day after sending the chain the girl confessed her love for
him ever since 3rd grade. Freddie D. finally had the courage to ask her out,
and of course, she had been waiting to yes to that for years. They grew up
and
married each other to live happily forever.
Third Example:
Now if you couldn't relate to the others, this'll get ya hooked. Listen to this.
A kid named Jordan Johnson was just getting on AOL to check his mail.
He was a quiet kid, not that popular but not a geek either. he was just
normal. He saw he had mail from his friend. It was this exact letter. Now
Jordan Johnsen was a smart kid and he knew what could happen if he didnt
pass it on. He simply pulled a few friends from his buddy list and sent it
along. The next day, about that same time, he got a phone call. It said he
had won the lottery!
then his dad came home and bought him a new bike! His mom bought him
Nintendo64 and play station! His grandmother sent him a new computer,
and his best friend
gave him tickets to the concert he wanted to go to, Kid Rock and Limp
Bizkit! Then he inherited a brand-new tv from his aunt! He was goin' wild!
the next day his secret crush asked him out, and they have been going out
ever since.
Now, you heard the stories. I know which person i'd rather
be, but thats up to you. I wouldn't wanna end up like Barbra but thats only
me. We all want what we cant have but now's ur chance to go out withthat
special somebody ur waiting for. Take it or leave it. If you send this to-
1 person- you will lose all luck in ur love life..... forever!!!!!
10 people- your crush will say they like you as a friend...... ONLY!!!!!
15 people- your crush will say they like you
20 people- your crush will ask you out!
25 people- your crush will kiss you!!
30 people - Your crush will have sex with you
35 people or more- All of the above!!
Don't blow it, it's ur chance to shine! Have everything u wanted, and more!
Now, complaining cus u dont have any
friends. Well theres an answer 4 everything. It's simple, just go in a chat
room, pick some names and send away! but here's the catch..... you only
have 1 hour
if the pain goes on im not gonna make it...!
π: 0 β©: 0
Yeah, he had two dads and he turned out fine!
π: 0 β©: 0
Yep! Seems like everyone forgets this. Jesus was an outcast. Oh, and I'm not so convinced he was straight, either. But, hell, who really cares? Jeebus will be Jeebus.
