Why doesn't God heal homosexuals?

Oh that way. Yes. We can learn to get attracted to particular stuff. That’s why people warn against watching porn. You learn to like the things you see. It changes you.
 
Hey that actually changed my entire view! So God does intervene. Then I am healed. Thanks a ton (name removed by moderator). He didn’t let me down after all.

It’s a true stereotype, Bruised.

The “syereotype” is based on behavior that is a result of being closeted (not having support of long term/committed relationships and, yes, the difference in how men and women socialize sexually.
 
No, not in the least.

I’ve just seen too many discussion threads totally destroyed because some people want to turn everything into an Ophrah show.

They are too practiced at “taking offense” and they get all defensive and emotive.

We’ve lost our understanding of the will, the intellect, and the emotions…and so we simply emote all over the place at the drop of a hat.

Believe me…I’ve prayerfully considered this.

Get back to the thread. Notice the 3rd person nature.

In fact, it’s the case today that homosexuals talk entirely too much about their homosexuality, and many blacks talk and view things entirely from their race. Too practiced. It’s become “the thing”, and for humans that’s quite sad. Heteros never talk about sex this much.

It’s no biggie if you don’t know, but are there any scientific studies to back this up? I’d be really interested to read them if you could tell me the names?
 
Nope I don’t. But I’ve got some personal experience. Not everything needs to be backed up by science! Research now says that gratitude increases joy and happiness in life (your psychological well-being). I don’t need the study to believe that!

With all due respect (and I have a lot of respect for you), I disagree. If you look at societies with lots of acceptance of homosexuality, you do not see significantly lower rates of promiscuity.
 
So then what does a man do when he experiences an attraction towards another man?

This is why I did not emote, nor take offense.

Perhaps because they think that they might have a perspective that outsiders lack?
 
Of course, which is addressed by the second part of my answer. Men, whether gay, bi, or straight, are driven to spread their seed as often and with as many partners as possible.

But gay or bisexual men who lack virtue find plenty of other men “up for it”, whereas straight men don’t find women as available. Thus we can explain the difference in promiscuity without claiming that gay or bi men are intrinsically more prone to promiscuity.
 
It’s this use of the “outsider” language which proves my point that they’ve come to view reality merely and mainly through their views of their sexuality, not as children of God.

The isolation becomes complete, and it’s all self-induced.
 
Cajun, you just summarized the thread and point so well…“cannot give that attraction any importance”.

This is a very key point.

Your intellect, where the conscience resides, has been well formed and remains in charge, deciding what importance various attractions can have in your life.

This is so fundamental to a healthy and mature and full and happy Christian life.

Well said.
 
He moves on, or he “converts” that momentary thought into a prayer to God. "Lord thank you for making men and women, and children and the family. Help me to know and follow Your will, now and every day. "

This is pure nonsense. They take recourse to “outsider” language precisely because they have not been included in the conversation; they have not been listened to. Same with racial relations.

If same-sex attracted people in the Church had been listened to for the last 200 years, we would not have gay marriage today.

hmmm, well there are generations of people throughout time before the Web who had zero access to porn yet had SSA.
 
Oh there’s not a conversation they’ve missed or not started or better not steered.

Porn is on cave walls.

Notice what’s really going on with David and Bathsheeba…he was a voyeur.

Porn isn’t just a gay problem…and this makes my point…it’s a temperance problem.
