It is a spirit of lust. It is a spirit that overtakes people with confusion and they believe the lie.. the origin is satan himself who is the spirit of confusion.

So you don't teach your children that sometimes children are born blind, or mentally retarded, so they won't discriminate?

When it comes to some issues, younger children are not yet equipped to understand them, so you hold off on talking to them about those things until they are older.

I ain't confused.

I like danglies, and I like tacos.

Rather made up in that decision.

Then again, I'd rather enjoy my life than live in fear of some deity.

God does not give the spirit of fear to those who walk with him . Yet the bible says the beginning of wisdom is the fear of the Lord. For good reason. It is God who created us and he can do what he wants with us. But in our new life perfect love casts out fear. Faith in God and his love for us casts out all fear.

God is slow to anger , a loving God who sent Jesus for the remission of sin. But there are those who love sin more than God. They have a choice here..Life is short when one gets very old and looks at the time that has passed..it is short and the years go fast when an eternity is forever.

Should one throw away eternity for a short season of lust and pleasure? It is up to each of us to make the choice to walk in their own ways or choose to walk as we were made to , as we are all made in the image of God.


God knew we all were condemned but God sent Jesus to give us salvation , to salvage those who were living without God and in the power of satan.

Jesus is the power over the old life of sin and the new life is given through the Holy Spirit.. All one has to do is ask Jesus for the Holy Spirit to defeat the sin nature and the Holy Spirit will do just that. A new nature is born in the new creation of Christ. A new spirit that will live forever.

That's all nice.

Irrelevant to my beliefs, but nice.

My God doesn't care how you life your life only how he reincarnates you/deals with you in the afterlife.

The point still remains:

I'm not confused by my sexuality.

I still may be shy about it in real life (never been with a guy, and too shy to approach one in that manner), but I'm not confused by it.

For me homosexuality is not a normal thing because GOD created Adam and Eve and not : adam and adam or eve and eve. i will tell them to love those peoples because there are human beings but, to hate their way of living and seeing things.
