Free Will on action or to stop desires?
But it is possible for our actions to be moral. We can resist temptation. And if we are not quite perfect in the resistance, we can at least say "I should not have given in; I should not have done that."
But homosexuals wallow in their sin. They are proud of it. They allow it to define them. They make no effort to break away from carnal desire and pleasure.
I’m talking about the free will to act or not act appropriately. If you’re defending homosexuality because they can’t help feeling desire for someone of the same sex, then you might as well defend thieves, liars, murderers and pretty much everyone else. Everyone has unhealthy desires, but responsible, mature people choose to restrain themselves. Plus, it’s quite possible to alter one’s thoughts over time.
The mind is not set in stone. Scripture is actually an excellent guide here if people will only follow it. Sin doesn’t arise out of nowhere. It starts as a stray thought, a momentary temptation, and grows into strong desire if given a chance to root. A person can nip unhealthy thoughts (temptations) in the bud, so that they don’t rise to the point of sin. Unfortunately, there is no hope for a homosexual who does not think there is anything wrong with homosexuality, because they cannot then repent. They are damned by their own free choice.
Homosexuals really aren’t all that different from other sinners. One can either blame one’s problems on someone or something else, refuse to believe one has a problem in the first place, or accept responsibility and try to fix it.
