| I never said that being a "truelly good christian" would take away your sexual attraction towards boys! Im not that stupid, it's like being a christian, doesn't necessarly mean that if you are experience same-sex attractions that you will have them wiped away. As Ive said many times, I was a practicing homosexual for other 20 years, when I became a christian, I still struggled with same-sex attractions and desires, for a very long time. Until I finally surrended it all to God, got down on my knees and repented of evertything I could possibly think of! Ask God to fogive me, cleanse me and garnt me the strength and will to change, to serve him & to be the person he wants me to be. Then and only then, did I begin to experience change! Yes, I was being tempted big time, and yes, sometimes I gave in to those tempatations even as a christian! But I reached a point where I realised that something was wrong here, how could I profess to be a christian and yet, continue to live a life of sin and go arounding fucking everything that walked! he he he!!!! The Bible clearly tells us that homosexuality is sinful! Thus, how could I continue to practice this sin and consider myself a christian? I couldn't, so I came to the Lord and through prayer, daily reading of Gods word, support from my church, some pastoral counselling and a lot of will and faith, I came to learn that he that is in me is stronger than he taht is in teh world. and each time satan came along with one of his temptations, trying to draw me back into homosexuality I said; "satan be gone! I command you in teh name of teh Lord Jesus Christ to depart from here! It is written that I have been given all the power and authority to tample of snakes and scorpion & to overcome all the power of the enemy" And with those few words, the temptations went! To this day, on those days when things get really bad, I still get tempted, satan always tries to draw me back to my old dinful life. But through Christ I have the power and authority to overcome him! And thats just what I do. I have not had sex with another man for over 18 years, I have not felt sexually attracted to another man for many, many years. Yes, I sometimes look at other men and think, "this guy is good looking" so what? don't you? God gives us the ability to appreciate beauty and lets face it some people are just plain and simply beautiful, male and female. So appreciating someone's beauty is not a sin! What is, is when we long for that beauty, when we desire it, envy it and lust over it. There is a difference. |
