The Problem with Homosexual Marriage and culture

Image
Same-sex attraction and gender confusion is a wounding of the human heart by the Fall. It may be physiological, it may be developed; it may manifest itself early on or later, after exposure and/or abuse. If it is physiological and manifests early, this is not validation for homosexual behavior according to the Bible . - God can heal any wound, but that doesn't mean He will. It is possible for a devout Christian to struggle with same-sex attraction . If a church-goer consistently gives in to that attraction, it is likely he is either not a believer or is an immature believer in need of love and support. - Homosexual behavior (to include indulging in same-sex attraction fantasies) is a sin, like many other sexual sins, and is to be avoided by those who wish to follow Christ. But it is not any worse of a sin than any other. - Homosexuality is more difficult than many other sins because of the identity factor. We do not believe one's sexuality is the truest part of an individual.
