noted...

Although, I didn't think that the article sugercoated the movie with a generalization of God. The author was fairly specific as to point out not only his own struggle, but I felt like the author was certainly pointing out the gravity of the sin of homosexuality and fighting to overcome it. The author clearly thinks that homosexuality is a sin, which is why he takes it seriously. As he says, temptation is the exploitation of a real need...the need for intimacy and friendship is real, but the manifestation of it in homosexual lifestyles is wrong!
What I felt like the bottom line was...was that God is not interested in abandoning those who are living lives of sin, but rather that He is willing and able to help these men break free of homosexuality because it is indeed sin! The author is testifying to the powerful nature of God because the author himself was once in the grips of homosexuality but is no longer..thanks to God.
I didn't think the editorial glorified homosexuality at all, nor did it condone it as acceptable before God. It just pointed out the fact that even though it's a sin, it's not one that is big enough to stop God.

OK, I see your point, and you are correct. there isn't anything God can not do. There is only one unforgivable sin, so that should bring relief to a lot of people...
