I’ve had aquaintance of several gay ‘friends’ through church in the past. All of them really desired to get out of the lifestyle but the pull of temptation was so great none of them ever were successful. Of course there are those who do overcome the gay lifestyle but they are few. Must be an intense addiction to break.
An intense addiction to break is right, like porn, or any sexual addiction.
On a side note from the article:
“Now Frank and Tim Schaefer are recommitting to their relationship with the United Methodist Church, or at least with Christianity. Frank Schaefer, who has three gay children and a straight son, has become a sought-after speaker on gay rights and an advocate for change;”
Frank (dad) has THREE gay kids???? Something is truly amok.
Addictions are all tough to break - but what is horrific about the homosexuality addiction is that now society is telling them that it is perfectly OK - and even 'cool'. At least those that are caught in the addiction of drugs, or philandering, or pornography still have the rods of shame and disapproval to help them to realize that they are going in the wrong way, and that they need to pull out of the abyss. But the Sodomites are all being patted on the back as they sink deeper and deeper into sin. It is really horrible what the Media, Society, and now even 'wolves in Sheep clothing' - masquerading as pastors - are doing to these people.
The Sodomites need help and prayers - not people encouraging them to wallow in the mire of sin...
Isaiah 5:20-21 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!
