No dey "whine" yourself. Animals can also do unnatural things.
What do you make of people who claim to have been cured?

I don't know about this cure thing. Anyone can stop a habit at any time. I wouldn't consider it a cure. That's why there isn't a cure for being an alcoholic or a drug addict. You can only be considered sober.

Also it is hard to really know if someone is cured of homosexuality. Does it mean they don't crave such sexual acts again? Or does it mean they just restrain themselves more? If a man can be cured of being gay then a man should also be able to be cured of any sexual desires entirely? So are u saying I can be cured of my predilection for moderately massive and perky female behinds?

Another reason why it is hard to know if someone is really cured of homosexuality is that anyone who makes such claim of being cured probably has an incentive to proclaim it. The person might do so under societal or religious pressure to assuage their guilt or gain more acceptance with a group. So if the guy is still gay, he has a lot of reason to hide it and just play along. This is the same like all those guys that claim to have been healed of one sickness or another in churches but hide themselves later when symptoms of the sickness persists.

This is what you all should understand about this gay of a thing; God create Adam and Eve not Adam and Steve. From the begining Satan has been working tiredlessly to destroy what God created because man has supremacy over him. Gay practice is one of the strategies satan deviced to extint man out of earth. The main reasons his plan poses a success is because man is ignorant of power given to him by God (lk 10:19) therefore satan with the help of demons uses it as an advantage over mankind because he(satan) control the flesh. SATAN DOESN'T HAVE A SPECIAL SIT IN HELL AND WILL NEVER APPRICATE ANYONE WHO SUCCUMB TO HIS PLANS. instead more suffering await u.

Lol... I was expecting someone to bring God into this matter... grin

From the comment you quoted it will clear to note that it happens in animals when opposite sex is not found inbetween them. Are u telling me that you've the same mentality as animals. Human being are higher animal with the ability to distinguish btw good and evil, female and male etc, tell me if you've seen a cock or he-goat in gay sex. One thing you should know is, nobody is born gay, it's just maybe an early abuse by same sex or probably a situation whereby opposite sex is absent at early stage of growth. Satanic demons uses as an avenue to attack the victim, posing gay as something attractive!

People are fucking born gay! There is nothing satanic about that.

Romans 1:28 And since they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them up to a reprobate mind to do those things which are not convenient.

This is the root of it all. A man who has not God in his knowledge will end up doing things which are not ideal. A mind filled with the knowledge of the Father will not develop canal desire for his fellow gender. I am in no way condemning homosexuals. Like Jesus said, "he who is without sin let him be the first to cast a stone of condemnation." It God's grace and goodness that leads us into righteousness.

If you are gay, I just want you to know that God loves you and is not condemning you. He wants you to draw near to him so that you will be transformed from glory to glory. You cannot be near God and have strange desires.

There is a popular and true saying that goes like this, "he who walk with the wise, will be wise and he that walk with the foolish will be foolish." When you stay near to God you will think His thought and talk His talk. His desires will natural become your desire.

A heart and mind far from God is a heart and mind that is reprobate. Thou will keep him in perfect peace whose heart and mind(thoughts) is stayed on thee.

Homosexuality activity is consented so you contrast it with unconsented activity and ask for unconsented activity to be legalised, does that sound reasonable to you? I even made your proposal more reasonable but apparently even you can see how absurd the proposition sounds.

We don't even certainly know what cause sexual orientation, you're jumping to this question.

Friend being born of God has absolutely nothing to do with religion. One can be religious and not be born again, or born of God. Jesus said about the religious leaders of his days on earth, "this people honour me with their lips but their heart(the inner man) is far from me, teaching for doctrine the tradition of men."

Not everybody that is putting on suit and tie is actually born of God.

See my comments above.

This is how Alan describes the "healing" in another article:

What is the healing that we can expect?

If it is unrealistic to assume that we will attain the purity of sexuality just described, then what is a reasonable expectation for healing from same-sex attraction (SSA)? Some years ago I wrote this definition for healing from homosexuality: Healing from homosexuality occurs when an adult, whose primary or exclusive sexual and/or romantic attractions have been towards persons of the same sex, experiences a significant decrease in same-sex attractions and an increase in opposite-sex attractions to the extent that a heterosexual life that is emotionally, sexually and psychologically fulfilling is made possible. Accompanying these erotic and emotional changes is a change in self-perception in which the individual no longer identifies him or herself as homosexual.

God is a Spirit who began all things. Being "born of God" is being led by the "Spirit of God." But you can't be led by the Spirit of truth and righteousness, if your heart(thoughts) are far from Him.

Guard your heart with all deligence for out it flows the issues of life. Allow God to transformed you by changing the way you think through his truths.
