If Being gay is such a sin then why did God make it impossible to change who I am?

As a heterosexual male, I think it is great that I have one less competitor for the available females. And no female would want to be with a guy who finds her unattractive.

You know I always wonder why say god exists why wouldn't he just make homosexuality. Impossible I mean if I was him and I had a problem with it and I am unipotent I can do what I want.There are lots of people who are atheists have no belief in him at all because of that.God is all knowing so he should know that these acts would happen we all have choices and he choose to let it exist he knows where it will lead his loved ones at hell?Also we don't fully understand sexuality scientist don't really know all about it yet so don't say impossible. I am just saying it could be impossible or it could be possible.

I understand. Christians are not sinless. We struggle with different things that the Bible calls sin. It is acting on those desires that is wrong. I may want something so bad that if it wasn't for my faith telling me and the law saying stealing is wrong and there are consequences for stealing I would probably steal. Homosexuality is misplaced affection brought on by a childhood environment of divorce/remarriage, abuse, neglect, over barring parenting, and permissive parenting. These are not all the environmental elements that contribute to it, bullying is an other and so on. There is a way out.

I know people on both sides will disagree with what I'm going to say - in both directions, but I'll say it anyway, and hope it helps at least a bit. Being gay (being attracted to men), in my opinion, isn't a sin; the sin (or otherwise) is in what you choose to do about it. For a heterosexual man, being attracted to a woman who isn't your wife is not a sin; it's only a sin if you choose to think about her sexually and go and cheat on your wife and sleep with her. Actions are where sin is, not feelings. That said, it is very hard in many places to be a gay Christian (I'm assuming you are a Christian?). But there are lots of Christians out there who experience attraction to the same sex. Some of them find that over time that changes, and they become attracted to the opposite sex, or to one member of the opposite sex, and some always have that attraction. Check this out; I know this guy and he's great. http://thegospelcoalition.org/blogs/justintaylor/2...

Just about all human nature is a sin. Lust or any form of earthly desire is a sin. Anything you enjoy is a sin, since all your enjoyment must be derived from worshipping the man in the sky. In fact, just existing is a sin, because apparently some metaphorical guy gave us all original sin by eating a metaphorical fruit. And clearly the story of Adam and Eve shows God wants us all to be ignorant and not think for ourselves. There's a reason Jesus refers to his people as "sheep".

The only way to be truly sinless is to be a mindless robot that does nothing but worship God. Heaven is supposed to be full of these robots, since Christians believe it is without sin.

Obviously, protecting innocent children from being raped by his clergypersons is not nearly as important to him as making you a part of a hated minority so that you can struggle against your natural sexual orientation in order to build your character and reserve a place on the Big Rock Candy Mountain where your reward will be to kiss his gluteus maximus for eternity.

It's never too late to change, Ewan.

The only people saying that you were "born gay" are social scientists who have no clue. The only reason homosexuality was removed after the DSM III is because the secretly homosexual head of the APA at the time lobbied heavily for reclassification of homosexuality as a "disposition".

First of all, please don't do this to yourself. Do not say that your sexual orientation, whatever it might be, is "who I am".

How sad would it be for a straight person to define his/her ENTIRE IDENTITY based SOLELY on his/her SEXUALITY?!?! How sad would it be for a straight person to say, "It's who I am"? If I were to define myself entirely based on my sexuality, it would make me a very, very shallow person.

Now, I'm sure there is far, FAR more to you than just your sexual orientation. I'm sure there is much more to "who you are" than just your attraction to your own gender. But you have let your self be sucked into the trap of defining your entire identity strictly by your sexual orientation, and thus without even realizing it, you define this as "who I am".

Please, don't let our culture do this to you. Realize that whether you are same-sex attracted or not, there is far more to you than just your sexual orientation. Realize that, same-sex attracted or not, it is NOT "who you are"!

Now, while it may or may not be possible to change sexual orientation (no one has really proven this one way or the other), the sin is not in merely being ATTRACTED to your own gender. The sin is in actually pursing sexual activity with your own gender. And that is something you absolutely CAN control.

If a married man feels attracted to a woman who is not his wife, than in and of itself is not a sin. But if he pursues a sexual relationship with that woman (whether his pursuit is successful or not), then that IS a sin. Humans are called to resist their sexual urges all the time. Having the urge is not the sin. Pursuing inappropriate sexual urges is.

Now, even if it is impossible to change sexual orientation (and it may well be), it was not God that made it impossible. It is our human nature corrupted by sin that does so.

So, perhaps you cannot suddenly decide to find guys attractive. But if you truly want to follow Christ, you can decide not to engage in sexual activity with your own gender. Jesus covered this. He mentioned those who were "born that way". See below:

Matthew 19:11 Jesus replied, "Not everyone can accept this word, but only those to whom it has been given. 12 For some are eunuchs because they were born that way; others were made that way by men; and others have renounced marriage because of the kingdom of heaven. The one who can accept this should accept it."

There are many homosexuals and lesbians who have repented of their sins and asked for God's forgiveness and received it. These men and women turned their back on their sinful lives and God has enabled them to live in victory. Some of them have entered into a relationship of marriage with an opposite sex partner and are very happy. They have a wife or husband and children and some of the people who did that are now ministers of the gospel.

It's also true that heterosexual men and women have the same temptations that you have in sexual desire and lust? We are all sinners and subject to temptation and failure in obeying God. The proliferation of pornography makes it even more difficult for many to keep a pure heart and mind, but when Christians fail God in any way. including sexual sin. they know they can go to God and be forgiven.

Salvation is not a license to sin, but rather gives you somebody who understands your weakness and loves you enough to forgive you when you fail. Jesus died to set men free from all sin, not just sexual sin. He will set you free and enable you to overcome as he has millions of other people since the gospel was first preached.

I understand sexual temptation as well as the next man because I have a strong sex drive. I fail sometimes in a different way, and when I do I hate my failing and wonder why God would even want anything to do with me, but when I go to God and ask forgiveness from him he always grants it.

I encourage you to pray and ask God to forgive you and grant you the gift of eternal life. You will know when God touches and redeems you. Then pray that God would lead you to people who can help you grow in your faith and will pray for you and do all they can to help you overcome this temptation.

God turned me from a multitude of sins 40 years ago and he is more than willing to do the same for you.

I will pray for you that God will deliver you fully and completely and that he will be the source of your strength in overcoming this.

I don't understand how any gay person could believe in God. That much cause a lot of internal conflict.

Ewan, homosexuality is no more a transgression against God than is my (and your) lying or stealing or hatred. All of those transgressions make us guilty before Him. And you are right, within me is not the ability to no longer lie or steal and hate others. That is why I need someone to rescue me from myself. The good news is there is someone. There is someone for whom I can trust. There is someone whom can enable me.....His wounds have paid my ransom.

And tThe the Great News is that same someone can do the same for you!!!
