We’re all dealing with temptation to sin, so she’s right in that way. But as long as we’re alive and Christian we will be struggling with sin - not embracing it.
We die with Christ so that we can rise with Him. That means that some of the things we really crave have to become dead to us. It’s a small price to pay for being found in Christ.
We all fall and need His grace and forgiveness to pick us back up again. But to refuse to be yoked with Him and let Him carry the heavy burden of our sin and the temptations we face, is to be without Him. His grace is made perfect in our weakness; there is so much lost because she has embraced sin rather than leaning on Jesus to fulfill her every need.
Yes.
When a person identifies himself as a homosexual, he is identifying himself as his sin.
When a person is in Christ and struggles with temptation to homosexual acts, I think it is more accurate and helpful to identify himself as in Christ — a Christian — who then has various struggles, one of which is named homosexuality.
Beautiful. Very well put!
