Good post ProphetExcaliber. The devil's flood of filth on this generation is designed to create a moral landslide as a tactic preceding the great apostasy the apostle Paul asserted in 2 Thessalonians 2:3.

The rise of homosexual extremism is a key piece of the devil's strategy to accomplish this in the world. Students are now taught immoral homosexual acts are "normal" as long as people have a high regard for one another instead of it being what it is: sinful sexual immorality.

The Bible says, "As it was in the days of Lot, so shall it also be in the days of the coming of the Son of Man."

There are only two forces that hold back homosexual from giving themselves completely over to their sin and they are rejection by society and the repudiation and teachings of the church.

When society no longer rejects their sin as abnormal and fully accepts and encourages their abnormality, and the church no longer preaches against it as sin and consoles and enables them in their sinful sexual immorality: there no longer exist any hindering forces.

These two roadblocks are presently being swept away.

This constant barrage of immorality by the media and society is going to be a major cause of the great "falling away." You can clearly see it. It's crystal clear.

Those of us who stand against it are few and looked upon as "out of step" with an enlightened society and a more relevant church. That's already begun. You can see it with the new Pope and in liberal Protestantism.

The lovers of sensuous pleasures will eventually far outnumber the lovers of God. The result will be a full social revolt against God's chosen with it's gossip against Christians and a wave of false doctrines and "new ideas."

So what. An army of true Jesus followers will continue to arise amongst the youth like commandos. A great underground genuine church that will be found preaching the return of Christ and the end of the age! Nothing will be able to stop them.

They will be the thorn in the side of the harlot church and they will sting and sear the consciences of men by their devotion to God and spiritual power. This is a generation of young people God LOVES GREATLY. They are 21st century spiritual warriors.

But they will need to genuinely support each other and older serious minded Christians must love and support them as well because many of the houses they come from will be wracked with serious problems, bad parenting, and divorce.

One can suffer from Same Sex Attraction, however that does not mean you have to partake in the sin of homosexuality. Pray for deliverance, of course, but realize this life is about loving Christ more than ourselves. Scripture condemns homosexuality as sin, but by God's grace anyone who suffers with same sex attraction can overcome it. It is not an easy life and it is full of self-denial.

Simply, yes. Look it says plainly in the Bible that it's wrong, and if you're a christian and think other wise then you simply need to read and learn for yourself. I understand tolerance, I have a gay friend and I don't nag at them, but if you're asking me then I'll say yes, it is utterly and completely wrong. But that's why Christ came, to forgive the sinners and show them the light.

For ALL have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God, we all are in the same boat, no matter what. Sin is sin and sin caused death period no matter which sin it was or is, from Homosexuality to a thought of lust, without the physical act. we all are guilty and need Mercy, true or false?
Is God Merciful, have we cried out:
[h=3]Luke 18:9-14[/h]Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)

[SUP]9 [/SUP]And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others: [SUP]10 [/SUP]Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican. [SUP]11 [/SUP]The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican. [SUP]12 [/SUP]I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess. [SUP]13 [/SUP]And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner. [SUP]14 [/SUP]I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.

The Bible speaks directly to "homosexual behavior" or "homosexual acts." A "homosexual", from a scriptural perspective, is someone that chooses to engage in homosexual acts.

Homosexuality as an "identity" is a modern non-biblical construction. Modernists (and post-modernists) began to assert that homosexual behavior is genetically based (e.g. a genetic flaw in the human genome) and then fabricated an identity around this immoral behavior.

Understand; however, that despite intensive investigation into the human genome by the scientific community: they have failed to find "gay genes." The reason why they have failed to find "gay genes" is because they don't exist. Homosexuality is not a behavior that's written into the DNA of the human genome even as a genetic defect.

As a result, researchers studying "homosexuality" are now hypothesizing that homosexual behavior is a genetic expression.

But understand that this is an unproven theory to date with correlation (X causes Y) unproven. And, epigenetic changes are not random but rather occur in response to environment. Nurture and the behaviors one chooses to engage in effect a physiological plasticity upon one's susceptible genetic expression in this theory.

In purely biblical terms, specifically Romans 1, people who choose to engage in homosexual acts (whether some predisposition exists or not) are choosing to "exchange" God’s purposes for unnatural purposes.

For even if a predisposition toward a homosexual behavior does exist in some people, they have the ability to choose not to engage in it just as they have the ability to choose to engage in a heterosexual behavior.

The mere existence of a genetic predisposition (so far unproven with respect to homosexuality) does not equate to machine programming in which people act like robots carrying out instructions without any choice in the matter as so many falsely assert today.

I have a normal sex drive and I've been celibate for 26 years. We are not robots.

The choice to engage in heterosexual acts, homosexual acts, or abstinence with regard to other people is a real choice that exists with each of us. We CAN choose.

The biblical warning for people who choose to engage in homosexual acts is that if they choose to rebelliously engage in homosexual acts without repentance, they can eventually become consumed to the point of reprobation at which point God lets go giving them up to the sinful lusts they chose to immerse themselves in (Rom 1:18–25).

There are correlations to those who choose to engage in a life of serious drug and/or alcohol addiction eventually perishing from the behavior.

References to homosexual acts become a powerful image in scripture for those who in their rebellion and blindness choose to give up God’s good gift of normative morality in healthy sexuality and exchange it for something degrading and unnatural.

Homosexual acts become a symbol in Scripture for violating a basic principle of holiness: mixing that which the Lord declared should be separate.


Wait, so we gays are forced to be straight?

God's design for humanity was to have parents available to help their children in life and with their questions. In these difficult and immoral times; however, a fair number of young people today no longer have access to what God originally designed for them to have. Do you not have parents you can talk about these things with?

No more than any one else who is born again (Jn 3:3) is "forced" not to sin.

The practice of homosexuality is sin (Ro 1:26-27).

The born again do not practice habitual sin.

As with the kleptomaniac, whose proclivities are illegal and must not be practiced,
so with the born-again homosexual, whose proclivities are sin and must not be practiced

isn't the answer to this question obvious even after a simple Biology or Anatomy 101 class?
it's a shame & disgrace, and about as 'natural' as a dog trying to make puppies with a couch or a neighbor's leg.

People do the forcing God does not. God loves you so much to be your friend in the midst of any and all of anyone's adversity here in this world
We have free choice , and God simply gave that to you and all, this is what Love truly is. What God hates is for one to destroy another, go against others free will, read in the days of Noah why God was mad at man? And why God said Noah was reckoned righteous.
Noah did not have the thoughts of to harm others, he loved all. Did not plan evil to anyone else, get it
Praying so

"Gays forced to be straight"? No. You have the choice, obviously, as God gave you Free Will. You're not forced to do anything. However, if you want to give your life to Jesus, that does mean wrestling against your temptations. Its not that gays are forced to be straight, its not that drug addicts are forced into sobriety, its not that wifebeaters are forced to behave, its that sinners are called to repent.

It starts with wanting to know God and God takes up residence with anyone that desires to know God, he fills that one up and works with him
