Temptation to do evil is not part of our divine nature, but is rather "concupiscence," an effect of evil in our lives. Other than this we are in complete agreement. Man has no divine nature. We are not God nor will we ever be. Our nature is to do evil. (see Gen 8:21) It is only through the blood of Jesus Christ that we can make any claim to be good

Okay, scratch "divine," substitute, "unfallen."

Our nature is to do evil.
That adds a different twist. I thought you had said that our nature was to do good -- to be straight -- and it was only when evil -- molestation or teasing -- interfered with our nature to be straight that we did the evil thing - be gay.
If our nature is to do evil, then how are gay people acting outside of their nature?
