Is Homosexuality demon possesion or learned behavi

homosexuality is running out of control in our country, why is it, whats happening to out country. i know we are living in the end times, but everywhere ya go you will see these people around, you do not have to be rude to them as christians but we do not have to accept their sin either, it has even crept in our churches, and it is not even preached about anymore, what are we scared to preach the truth or is it gay bashing,

Re: Is Homosexuality demon possesion or learned be

I don't have an answer to this. Experts (both looking at it from a human standpoint and from a spiritual standpoint) can't agree among themselves.

In my opinion, homosexuality can be any or several of the following:
--part of our human/sinful nature from birth (not all are affected nor respond the same way)
--demonically inspired
--psychologically induced
--strongly promoted by the media and the secular educational system
--a learned behavior

Also, in my opinion, there is a difference between a person who is a homosexual and a person who is living the homosexual lifestyle.

God and sin cannot live in the same heart. They are sinners and need to be saved.

Re: Is Homosexuality demon possesion or learned be

I believe someone can be a homosexual and not demon possessed. I also believe that some homosexuals are under the control of a demonic spirit.

Re: Is Homosexuality demon possesion or learned be

I would probably strongly disagree with that premise without further clarification. At face value you seem to be saying "some are born that way."

Not necessarily. Some can be influenced by a spirit without actually having that spirit living inside of them. Take the majority of Christians. They're being influenced by the Spirit of God, but that doesn't mean they have the Spirit of God living in them.
