In a move that serves as a significant blow to "ex-gay" programs and anti-gay organizations, Dr. Robert Spitzer repudiated his much-criticized 2001 study that claimed some "highly motivated" homosexuals could go from gay to straight. His retraction occurred in an American Prospect magazine article that hit newsstands today. Spitzer's rejection of his own research, which was originally published in the prestigious Archives of Sexual Behavior, is a devastating blow to "ex-gay" organizations because it decisively eliminates their most potent claim that homosexuality can be reversed through therapy and prayer.
Bellflower,
I agree with you 100%. Lust is a constant battle. Whether it be for money, possessions, or sexual pleasure. It’s the attachment to the pleasures that creates the problem as they distract us from Him.
Money is not the problem, love of money is the problem.
Although I constantly trip on my own path, I try to treat others the way Jesus treated the Samaritans.
