There is a problem here. We know the Lord condemns homosexuality as sin, the act of sexual activity between people of the same sex. The problem is it appears a certain number of members of society feel this attraction very strongly, whatever the source or cause. Some can show in their lives it is a developmental stage, others it could be triggered by abuse and others it appears innate to who they are.
It is easy to say from ones own perspective, what it means to oneself, but that does not bring light on anothers experience.
Some would argue this orientation is permanent, but this cannot be demonstrated, only many suffer massive emotional trauma because they find themselves caught by how they feel with little options.
Some gay christians are starting to argue the issue is not about orientation but faithfulness, ie love shared between two individuals out weighs inappropriate orientation. Unfortunately for me, I understand the love expressed between two people is a beautiful and precious thing and is truly significant. The problem though goes deeper. Sexuality can be expressed and twisted to be focused on objects, children, violence, being abused etc. but this does not legitimize its position.
The line for me is simple, sex is about families and children, and in that context has only one formula.
Intimacy can be shared between any two individuals, but is not sexual, rather it is about caring and bonding between individuals. Unfortunately for many the two are so closely linked, one is assumed to mean the other, which is simply not true. Many many marriages never achieve intimacy, so it is often wrong to assume even a functioning relationship works properly.
My experience of homosexuals is a problem of heightened activity with few boundaries, because the normal biological issues are not in play between female and male roles, so things easily race away. Their militancy becomes any boundaries are wrong, and total carnal behaviour is freedom rather than bondage. I have seen people have sexual change operations, only to find it was their personal identity that was the problem, not their gender. People get lost in anatonomy only to realise love matters more, to be cared for, and reached out to.
As christians we are commanded to reach out and share what Jesus has done in our lives. Accepting where people are and not condemning them but working with them is more important, as every situation is different and there are no pat simple resolutions.
