I will never understand how men can be attracted to men, and women to women. I'd much rather have a man, personally.. Ya know, cuz it's the natural order of things.. lol
I can completely understand it. Someone gets traumatized by the opposite sex to the point the entire gender becomes repulsive in that sense. Not everyone has the ability to overcome that. Yes, they need the Lord just like we do. But as our world shows us, not a lot of people have that understanding.

That can be a reason, but if you scroll back a bit you'll see I wrote a answer about the most common reason a person is attracted to the same sex.

People mostly Christians.
You're called by Christ to follow Him, not others. People will always let you down at some point. That's why it's so important to know and follow Christ. That's how one becomes unshakeable.

Well from my experience I haven't met many unshakable people, so I'm not so sure It's working often.

Was your faith in your experience, or in the truth of God's Word that says all things are possible with Christ?

In other words, I ask again: was your faith in Christians, or Christ?

Well if the faith is supposed to help them be unshakeable, and they're not obviously that makes me question that the same faith could help me be unshakable.

Again, you're focused on others. Put your focus on Christ. You can't do that without an honest search thru the New Testament. Read it like a child for the first time and ask God, not someone else, for understanding. He will meet you there if y you're seeking with your whole heart. God will not be mocked, however He will not neglect Anyone who sincerely seeks Him.

No one can give you faith but the Holy Spirit. You must seek. No one here can satisfy your heart.

If you must base your faith on other people's experiences, base it on people's testimonies of God's power in their lives when they were shaken. That's better than looking at if they were shaken at all and deciding to forego your own faith if they ever were.

If it doesn't work for others than what inclination to I have to think it will work for me?

That's kind of if some told me "If you eat a gumball you'll become a super hero" to which I reply, "But Louis and Max ate from the same bag of gumballs and they don't have super powers."

I have no intention to mock, but if God is so sensitive,(Which he obviously isn't according to the bible) that a question about something confusing is shameful mockery, well I'd rather not waste my time on a being like that.

I'm not angry I just wanted to write a good responce, hornetguy. Let's see.... I hope this isn't too graphic, but to a dude sex is: Get erection, put it in something, finish and relax.

I've never really had sex, but I think I'd prefer not to do it with a ticking time bomb.

Because lets admit it, studies show that most men are done before a woman even orgasms. Even if she communicates she's not quite 'done' most men will continue but half heartedly, some will just say they're too tired.
(if this is too graphic I can change the wording.)
Lets see, guys don't shave body hair.

Guys don't pull off chubby like women can.

If I was with a man he'd probably feel inclined to be the one who opens my door, and makes the first move and I'd be socially inclined to let him. This is personal preference I have nothing against men or women who are heterosexual, but if was in a relationship with a woman and I was the less dominant one, it wouldn't bother me, because its obviously mine and her conscious or unconscious choice. Not something society pushed on us.

Now without the dynamic of man and women, both different but together we'd be in quite a predicament. But having some same sex couples on the side takes nothing from the heterosexual majority.

For the minority of people who are attracted to the same sex, well I think the mental difference between man and women explains it.
While for the average couple the difference between man and woman works for good.

However for a homosexual the different behavior of opposite sex partner is baffling and uncomfortable because of how they're partner can't quite get them. The attraction to different traits is not found in them. Men and women are wired differently in the brain, so of course there are noticeable differences in behaviour. These difference cause stress for those who's minds (for whatever reason) doesn't find them compelling or even a likeable or comforting difference.

Most homosexual men like befriending women

And for the lesbians who aren't simply gay because of a hatred of men, they also tend to have male friends.

When a man and a woman are friends (both heterosexual) there's often a tension because they are of the sex they find attractive. This makes close contact they'd call friendly with someone of the same sex seem awkward or even wrong.

For homosexuals, they don't get that tension with the opposite sex but with the same one.

A lesbian probably isn't uncomfortable about wrestling a man for the last piece of pizza.

A Gay man probably isn't uncomfortable about giggling, watching romance movies and sharing deep thoughts with a woman, it doesn't get awkward because there's no sexual or romantic attraction.

I hope this helps you understand. I'm not trying to make you believe being gay is good or even okay but I hope you can understand more about the reason some people are attracted to the same sex.
Thank you for being so open... that is, without a doubt, the most enlightening explanation of thought processes I have ever heard on the subject.

It was both thoughtful, and thought-provoking.

There are a lot of knee-jerk type responses to some of your statements, but I'd rather not do those... let me think about your post for a while, before responding, if you don't mind...

again... thanks for your honesty and insight...

Really don't know the complete reason God doesn't like homosexual behavior. If this practice would take hold and become a so called main stream practice is could disrupt the plan of God, in that the birthing rate would plummet to the point of disrupting the Plan of God. God commanded to go forth and multiply the earth. Now, I'm sure that all could agree to the fact that two females in a sexual act will not produce children and the same holds true for two males. The over all plan of God is a very exact plan even down to the exact time schedule. Any appreciable amount of slow down in the birthing rate would auteur God's plan. God will not under any circumstances allow any disruption in His over all plan. One must remember the step God took when those two cities,Sodom and Gomorrah, started practicing same sex marriages. I believe that homosexual people, for the most part, like any other group of people are a very loving and caring people. Probably up hold the basic laws of God, The Ten Commandments, as well as any. I'm sure there is more to the dislike of homosexuality by our Father, other than what I can see. No where in God's word does He up hold the practice. Our Father, such a joy, such a rest, Amem, that is that.

It's not (necessarily, depending on the person's intent with asking, of course). God actually urges that you question (e.g. "test the spirits", "if anyone lacks wisdom, let him ask", etc.) in faith.

If it doesn't work for others than what inclination to I have to think it will work for me?

That's kind of if some told me "If you eat a gumball you'll become a super hero" to which I reply, "But Louis and Max ate from the same bag of gumballs and they don't have super powers."
So you believe then that if it does work for others, it should work for you. Right?

If that's indeed the case, please check out some threads in the Testimonies section, where people talk at length about how God's power, even when they had the smallest measure of faith, worked for them. "For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy" (Revelation 19:10).

Stop focusing on failure in people and start focusing on how God never fails.

Those my thoughts too. Especially coming from someone with a rape testimony, I thought it would've been one of the most empathising, obvious points of all. Some people go through horrible experiences and it's the first recourse they have, to turn away from what is natural and right because the enemy has swayed them by fear. I'm so glad you exercised this understanding and posted this. I pray that all those people in that path in life learn to give their life to the lord who can heal them in all ways they need.
