I think some of the advices given in this discussion can work for bissexual people, but they are not going to work for people who only have attraction to the same sex. Some mental "training" to avoid same sex attraction lead to a bureaucratic relationship, mechanical affection which is far from genuine attraction and love. That´s why I am more for true love , no matter if it is for the opposite gender or same gender. Just love. God cares about love. Religious people interpretation of the bible is what makes same sex attraction something broken, bad, unnatural, ugly and ungodly.
You hit so much right on spot for me. I can’t disagree with anything you have shared here. Thank you so much for taking time to have this conversation. I’m right in the midst of all this….married, kids, continued same sex attraction and my wife and i are not connected on a deeper level. It’s painful. She always wants to fix me and has said that if i cannot look at her with sexual desire then we cannot stay married. I don’t know what to do. I don’t want to run off and join the pride parade or marry a man, that will never be what i want, but she tends to think i do. It’s not. But since we cannot connect and she has a very dominate personality, we are probably not going to continue our marriage, sadly.
@@Rage_Harder_Then_RelaxHeterosexual marriage is what Christians and conservatives think is obligatory for everyone, but if a gay man marries a woman, they think it is horrible. If a gay man marries a man, they think it is horrible. The only real way to satisfy them is to stop being gay, which is likely impossible, A lot of gay men marry because they cannot admit to themselves that they are gay. They often have lied to themselves, not to their wives. If false shame had not been inflicted on gay men, this would not happen. I once asked a gay man who had married a woman, how he could possibly have not known that he was gay. He said, "The power of denial is very strong." It is bad form to rush to judgment without knowing the circumstances.
🙏🙏🙏 for your marriage. To much propaganda that you’ll hook up with a man and be happy ever after. My neighbor man in the 70’s left his wife for another man. He dumped him and died alone. His wife died as a widow to someone else
Some same- sex attracted people find that they can pursue the same sex for partnerships. They are glad that they can do this as free people. It does work for some people. It has worked for 24 years for me and my male partner. I wouldn’t change a thing. I enjoyed your talk. Thanks.
It is still not what God wants for us. Technically, what you are describing is heresy. Part of coming to Christ is realizing that not everything that feels good is good for us.
@@Rage_Harder_Then_Relaxthen why are you here commenting? Your comment is so revealing. You agree that God exist but you hate Him. Romans 1 speaks about you, and me before I was saved. Don't store up wrath for yourself on the day of judgement. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved. He will change your heart and seal you for eternal glory. The problem isn't our heads being thick, it's your neck being stiff.
Excellent video. Being someone who is a saved Christian with SSA, my #1 fear of sharing is rejection even within the Church community. Why does the Church (generalized term) treat sin as one being worse than another when all sin is equal? This has always bothered me... Thank you...
I'm gay I always have been. I was never sexually abused. So I don't believe its a sin at all. I also am not a Christian. I Blv in god but not the one described in the Bible. I guess its because I was raised to accept myself.
I'm female and a P.K. I don't think the question is whether it's wrong or right. Hetersexual relationships are not automatically right, it can be abusive and degrading. Human beings are more complex than accounted for. There is subliminal attraction between close blood relatives at some point. Latent or denied, there is visible attraction within the sexes on a regular basis. It is time to talk about what IS. Certainly God is equal to that, if the church isn't. Honestly, I think this is something you have to come to your own conviction about. And head toward likeminded fellowship. Because the scant scriptural references involve varying interpretations. Whereas if it were an essential caveat to salvation, it would be one of the commandments or so. I have my own journey with it. But it is ok if we all end up in different places. You yourself might feel very different ways about it at different points. But if you focus on journeying with God in every aspect of your private life, you will develop an equilibrium and a peace. Over time an authentic sense of the way forward. Not just bombarded with more easy answers. I came to neither a secular conclusion nor a puritanical one.
From 1974 to 2002, I pursued same sex relationships with young males. I had no other sexual interests, especially in females. My interest in young males was an obsession/addiction. In 2002, I accepted Jesus as Lord and Savior. I would like to say that I was instantly delivered from ungodly sexual interests, but that was hardly the case. I worked with a Christian therapist for seven years before I knew that I was delivered from ungodly sexual interests. Today, I counsel men struggling with sexually deviant interests. I write all of this to encourage others that freedom is possible, even if you're sure it's not for you. Don't give up. God loves you and so do I.
Sometimes when your wife or husband leaves you for the same sex, it is because sometimes you have not been as nurturing as you may think. Do you think that men and women who are attracted to each other are broken? I hope in your pretty little heads, you are not equating sexual promiscuity with genuine love. If that is the case, then heterosexual people are in the same boat as homosexual people. You in the Checkered shirt, are truly anti-gay, yet, looking at you, I'm not convinced that you are str8. But obviously, this is what you are presenting. Why does it have to be either or? Let nature take its course. Be free to love whomever you choose as your partner. And please do not tell me about the story of Sodom and Gomorrah because that is not about sex. My first sexual experience was with a female. I was 6 she was 12. I went back for more and she did not want to do it again. She is married to an old friend, I'm still attracted to men. I think you guys are putting too much strain and energy into something that will not exist in heaven. You need to live and let live. If you say I do, You should mean that and stick with it through thick and thin.
I would like to have some resources, therapy or discussion. I am married with a kid. This discussion rings my bell... I wish it didn't, but it does. I have wanted to seek help and offload for years. The problem is that I am afraid to seek help because there are so many progressive ideologies, I am afraid that they will bekon me further into it rather than helping me reconcile with my struggles in a Biblical way.
Maybe you should read some criticisms of the Bible and consider the possibility that its reputation is mythological, that it is not magical or "God-inspired". Superstitions of Christians are in no way superior to superstitions of ancient Romans, Greeks, Mayans or Inca.
@tom-kz9pb I have considered it. After research and consideration. I completely reject this. If we remove the creator then morality is subjective. Christianity is true. Because Christianity is true I desire to follow the standards set up by the creator of the universe because he has the right to define right and wrong. The Bible is not superstition it is absolutely true because it is true (unlike the mythologies you listed) it is absolutely superior to any other ideology.
I Corinthians 6:9-11 9 Or do you not know that the unrighteous2 will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: xneither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality,3 10 nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And *such were some of you* . But you were washed, *you were sanctified* , you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God. Call up on the Lord and you will be saved. After that, seek opposite-sex oriented ("straight Christian") men. We're not as scary as you think!
If Jesus was God incarnate, then why didn't he say anything about it? Seems like Paul just gave his own opinion to an out of control church. Makes me think of how weak God is to allow the attraction to same sex feelings in my body only to condemn me later. If you say that it was Satan then that makes Satan stronger than God. Just wondering, that's all. 🙄@@millenniumman75
I'm so sorry you are feeling guilty and shame. Please believe it's not God 's fault. The blame should be on the fundamental trolls who without any real proof, insist you are broken for having these feelings. Please embrace your true self and stop listening to these trolls who have no understanding of same sex attraction or are so filled with hate for their own latent same sex attraction.
@@millenniumman75hey, the Bible also says the same about anyone eating pork and shellfish? Have you been pork, ham and shellfish free your entire life? If not, then you are exactly the same as the most flaming homosexual on the planet. If you think you aren’t, then you are picking and choosing the things you like from the Bible. ‘I’m not attracted to men, so that part of the Bible is accurate, but I love bacon and crab cakes and lobster tail with drawn butter so that part of the Bible can be ignored. And that is simply ridiculous. You can take the Bible as Gospel if you wish but take all of it or none of it.
I like that this is coming from a place of love but I see the bias. Why would a gay man go to a church (even one that seems to accept him as a fellow human being) that considers him as sexually broken?
God reveals in His Word that ALL humanity is broken. The gay-identified man who is broken in his sexuality is broken alongside the entire rest of humanity.
Ignorant religious upbringing, societal expectations, fear of damnation beliefs, queer excesses,... Being different from the majority of people and constantly getting the vibe that it's something taboo will inspire many people to try to get rid of those feelings.
I don't see same sex contact as bad or negative! God made she, he, me. All sounds like supressed hysteria! There are all types of relationships. The relationship of a man between a woman, a relationship of a man with another man. Platonic relationships or even the bond we have with a pet. Organised religion is always a few hundred years behind society.
I beg to differ with the statement, that your sexual development comes from your experiences rather than being innate. Heterosexual sex is rather prevalent in our society. It is all around us. Homosexual sex on the other hand is not so much around us and in our faces. Not all gay men or women have been molested. For crying out loud, our Mothers teach us to masturbate. I know it sounds strange but what do you think happens when Mom is bathing her baby boy. He gets aroused and it is not just a reflex. Though it may not be thoughts of as we might as an adult, the results are the same. We see our parents kissing on occasion you may catch your parents engaged in sex, but rarely ever the homosexual act. Yet we have men and women who deviate from their parents behavior. If as one of you said, boys experiment with other boys at an early stage, then why is it not all the boys who participated in circle jerks are gay? So if you are watching str8 porn, then wouldn't it stand to reason that you'd be attracted to the opposit sex. Why then in that situation would on boy gravitate to the penis rather than the vagina? This makes me believe that we are predestined to be attracted to whom ever we are. What about Lions and Geese, and some other animals out there are in homosexual relationships. My question to you is why the shame, and why do you think it is wrong?
I recommend the author Dr John Money, sexologist from New Zealand, who affirms the genesis of our sexuality is multivarious. Most folks, including in this video, see it more simplistically
@@carlorizzo827 John Money is a fraud whose research literally destroyed the lives of 2 young boys, the Reimer Twins. His disastrous attempt to prove his demented sexual ideas through the kids were falsely sold as a success. And to this day, society is suffering greatly from the falsehoods John Money helped perpetuate.
You're speaking through the lens of anger. Have you really listened to the whole video? A good chunk of the questions you posed are actually addressed over the course of the video. And your characterizations of the things shared in this video don't actually match what was said in this video.
For me, saying God can cure a homosexual is the same as saying God can cure a woman, so that she can become a man. Saying gays should refrain their sexual behavior is like saying we all should refrain our need to pee.
Summarized: “Include those with same sex attraction first and then have the conversation that can help the transformation from sexual brokenness to healthy behaviour” … Beware of false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. Matthew 7:15
Same sex attraction comes about in the first 14 years of life. The mothers love in the first 7 years and the fathers in the next 7 years. We all need to be loved, but it's our development of that love. Biologic parents are the best suppliers of this love , because they truly care and want there children to to succeed and be the best. If they are not damaged and narcissistic. Isn't homasexaul love , those just trying to find themselves for a disfunction marriage ? No one is perfect, even our parents. Is this the reason for the the words, to forgive is Devine ? And if you are going to forgive, shouldn't we not forgive the person who is left trying to find him or herself ? Was Sodom and Gomorrah destroyed for homosexualaty or lust ? If Jesus would have mercy on a prostate, would he have mercy on a homosexual ? We all need to be loved, finding the the right way Isn't coming under dictation. We we are humans, imperfect, all looking to find the truth and living in it ! God have mercy on us.
I find it interesting that you use the term "attraction." instead of "orientation." That use seems to be a fundamental distinction you are attempting to make. . While I did not listen to your entire podcast, It seem that you are denying that individuals come by their orientation honestly, by nature. Orientation would be better based on science rather than religious beliefs. Not accepting a person's orientation is very disrespectful of the person. If you cannot accept a person's orientation, you cannot be a friend to that person, , simply because you are always judging and I believe Jesus advised us not to judge.
The orientation theory is does not comfortably fit the reality that some people develop same sex attraction later in life after having experienced exclusively heterosexual attraction for some time. Sexuality is malleable. It's an inconvenient truth that queer activists and thinkers don't often like to state loudly because it interferes with the "Born that Way" anthem that helped by them mainstream acceptance. It is not a good thing that sexually should be so malleable and vulnerable to injury, but that is the reality. Just as the mind itself can break, so too can sexuality.
9.15. When it comes to sexual preference your brain is certainly not a blank slate. Heterosexuality or homosexuality is not a choice or conditioned response. Check the science - testosterone levels in the womb!
