Re: Leading ‘Ex-Gay’ Organization Closes
TheBlaze asked whether it’s possible for a person who is engaged in a gay lifestyle, from Thomas’ perspective, to be a true Christian.
Quote:

“If someone claims to know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior and [that] He raised from the dead, who am I to judge whether they truly know them or not?,” he asked.
|
If they feel that way why bother?

Re: Leading ‘Ex-Gay’ Organization Closes
Is BEING homosexual a sin? Or is it just acting on homosexuality a sin?

Are you one who believes a person is "born that way?"

I think there are two types. Those who are genetically different and those who choose to be perverted.

We are all born "into sin". Every single person who wants to be saved must be born AGAIN.
Overcoming homosexual lust would be no harder than overcoming "straight" lust.
Remember also it is the PURE IN HEART who will see God. Matt. 5:8

I don't believe a person is born a homosexual. Yes, we're "born into sin," but I don't believe anyone is born a homosexual.

Having same sex attraction, is not the sin, any more than hexos, having attraction to women. Paul said, "I keep my body under...." Both must control their actions.

Not only their actions but their hearts and minds must be pure as all of ours as Christians must be.

That is the crux. And if we fail to do that it is sin/sinful.
