I don't see where he admitted to "sinning with (his) mind." Being tempted isn't a sin, and being attracted isn't a sin. Whether we sin depends on what our minds do with those urges and attractions.
Thank you, Pastor Evangmlw. Very sincere & humble answer. Yes, it helps me understand.
As for XJCSA's comment to me, it doesn't matter what you or I think or believe about whether thoughts are sinful. Jesus Himself said with His own lips that "I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart." (Matt 5:28)
It is the standard and the measure of our Creator and Savior that determines what is acceptable or not. I'm sure the Reverend would admit he was not wanting to play tennis with these attractive women he has looked upon! A repentant heart receives mercy and grace and forgiveness when sin is acknowledged, but it must be fully acknowledged and not minimized or justified to qualify. God's love is unconditional, but His forgiveness and redemption are NOT. They are dependent on our acknowledgement and repentence of our sin in its most disgusting and revolting form.
The Reverend walks in that grace, clearly. So should we all. Whether we desire intimacy with the same sex, or with the opposite sex.
