The Bible says Jesus underwent all the temptations that we undergo. If he never had homosexual temptations, how relevant would his intercession be for those of us who do? If you've never experienced the temptation to sin homosexually, then praise God, and find comfort that Jesus can understand you in your hetersexual temptations. But the Bible says Jesus did undergo temptation, and does not limit to mere socially acceptable temptations: "Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might destroy him who holds the power of death - that is, the devil" "For this reason he had to be made like his brothers in every way, in order that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in service to God, and that he might make atonement for the sins of the people." "Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he isable to help those who are being tempted." "For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are - yet was without sin." Hebrews 2:14,17,18, 4:15 |
