 Quote From: monhol if your gay your gay. it is not a choice. my child is gay. she told if she could change it she would. by the way people who talk bad about gays or gay bash, are usually gay themselves and are afraid to "come out". these same people most likely have already been having a gay relationship. they are trying to hide and justify themselves by taunting gays. there is something called "the down low" something that so-called straight people do to hide their homosexuality. by day he or she is with the opposite sex, "hey" sometimes he or she is married,and by night he or she is having a sexual relationship with the same sex. some of these people have children. I can only testify about my own personal experiences and I will try and keep this short.
In my own personal experience that not one single person can say anything differently to is the fact that I can testify to God's healing work in my life.
Am I still attracted to the same-sex? Yes
I still do experience same-sex attractions and I don't think I will ever use the term ex-gay for myself unless complete change has happened in my life. This term is more so used as a way to describe identity. People have used that term in reference to at one time they identified as being gay, they took on the gay identity, or lesbian lifestyle and identity but have since turned away from the lifestyle and renounced the identity while embracing their God-given identity as a man or woman created in His Image and thus looking to Jesus to define who they truly are.
If you would like I would strongly suggest that you look up these two web sites...
www.exodusglobalalliance.org
www.narth.com
If the narth address is wrong just google it to find out what the address is.
I have written more messages on what I have come to believe as a Christian and one embracing the healing power of God in my life. I know that God has all the power to work mirracles...
With God all things are possible to them who believe.
God is good and God is faithful and He has made a way for all to be reconciled to Him through His Son Jesus Christ. When God said, "For God so loved the world," He did not exclude the homosexual.
1Cor 6:11...in light of God's love this is God's response to 1Cor 6:9,10 "And that is what some of you were...."
And it is the kindness of the Lord that leads people to repentance. I think it's unfortunate that some people forget that truth. Hatred, judgment and condemnation will never get anywhere but love will win anyone out of the depths of hell.
I do believe based upon my own personal experience and even some testimony's of people I know personaly. There is freedom to be found from homosexuality in Christ.
I don't pretend to be somebody I am not, I am open and honest about who I am and what's in my life and what struggles I face. And I have been brutily honest with everyone on this message board about some of my experiences that I have lived through. I didn't exactly pain a pretty picture. Except people will only believe what they want to hear. I speak of God's healing in my life and this is truth about my life that I speak. I also believe that it's a process of healing that takes time.
The founder of Exodus himself struggled with same-sex attractions for 40 years before coming to such a place of healing in his life that homosexuality is no longer a factor in his life and today relates totaly as a heterosexual man.
