Here my take on homosexuality for whatever it is worth;
1-God planted two trees in the garden, a good tree and a bad tree.
Therefore it is the nature of God to give people choices because the
only way you can get a reward for doing the right thing is to have the
opportunity to do the wrong one. So I respect the right of people to
make choices without creating rules against those choices unless those
choices infringe negatively on the lives of others. I would not
therefore, be in favor of a law that made homosexuality illegal.
2-Homosexuality is not same-sex attraction. It is the desire to have
sex with the same gender. It is healthy for men to want the attention
and affection of other men, and the same goes for women. Jonathan and
David had a soul tie and a love relationship that transcended the love
of a woman. This is common among soldiers who fight together in the
trenches of battle and build a bond as they struggle together in
life-and-death situations. But modern culture does not know how to
separate love and sex and therefore assumes every sacred bond must be
sexual. This is simply not true! I believe that many people get sucked
into homosexuality out of this deep desire to the boned brother to
brother or sister to sister. Society teaches people that this bond is a
homosexual tendency because it has no other box for brotherly and sister
love.
3- I do believe that there are people that have same
gender sexual attractions. I think it's real and not imagined. But being
attracted to something that is wrong does not define you. For example,
I'm a married man and therefore I am a one woman man by choice.
Biologically I have the capacity to be sexually attracted to many other
women but I have chosen through covenant to manage my appetite towards
one woman. Therefore I am not define by the temptations that I resist.
Instead I am defined by the virtues that I embrace. These virtues have
become the boundaries for my appetite and they dictate what I allow
myself to desire.
4-I have deep concerns that homosexuality is
growing out of a misunderstanding of love and sex. When we teach people
that the need for affection from the same gender is a homosexual
tendency, it creates that mindset in people that have this need.
