We can understand this from a spiritual point of view. Psychology does not reach to the depth required to comprehend it.
It is a kind of idolatry. Some call it a fetishism. The male who lusts in this manner generally has a deep spiritual need for masculine identity, and is yet estranged from God, which is the source of that blessing. Satan steps up to such cases and offers them his illusions, and acting out upon these illusions in turn offer thrills (hence the term “gay”) but never satisfy beyond the brief duration of the illusions. It’s sometimes tied in with fetishism of inanimate objects associated with masculinity, through which similar satanic illusions flow. Fetishism alone is also possible in this context, but as there will be no buggery involved, it isn’t generally called homosexuality.
The textbook definition would be “sexual attraction to the same sex” but that’s kind of like describing a cancer as an abnormal growth. True, and yet profoundly uninformative.
Also understanding the spiritual nature of the battle is crucial to being able to fight it successfully. The gospel WILL free a man from homosexuality. However our modern Christianity is almost bereft of the experience required.
You gave a far more elegant explanation than the carnal derivatives I was expecting. I appreciate your perspectives.
I want everyone to understand what’s be recognized when it’s the behavior of homosexuality that’s being courted to the levels of sublimation. Essentially through law, the function of the anus is considered to be the equivalent of the vulva “for the better good of society”.
Neither Faith nor love are exclusive determinants to homosexuality. These common attributes are for everyone’s benefit. No Christian should deny this.
I don’t give a crap about the private behavior of people old enough to go to war. I have no problem with personal contracts. But don’t tell me two dudes can make a marriage. That’s #ing idiotic.
