Madeleine, the key is to tackle that sin to the ground, pin it down, look it in the eyes and say, "I rebuke you in the name of Jesus Christ," or more specifically, "I rebuke you, <B>Satan</B>, in the name of Jesus Christ." Because we all know where those sinful thoughts are coming from.
Parents are frustrating. That's for sure. I adore my parents, but sometimes, they make me want to go outside and scream in the yard for a few minutes. My mother and I have some tiffs every now and then, but it helps to look at things from one another's perspective. I understand that she's angry about my Dad's passing and frustrated about certain things. I think she understands that I'm sensitive about some things. We both need to find a way to settle things, without making each other so upset.
So, I make the same suggestion: pray. Pray like there's no tomorrow.
Gerani, it is incredibly insulting to the one true God to accuse Him of making you gay. Once again, we're all born with sins in our hearts. That's thanks to the Fall, which took place when Adam and Eve screwed things up for the rest of us by caving in to Satan the first chance they got. Don't you, for one moment, blame God for your sins and shortcomings. He made you, yes. He formed you in your mother's womb, yes. He gave you a soul, yes. But He did not place sin in your heart.
Obviously, at some point in your life, you knew that what you were feeling was wrong. Unfortunately, you've allowed Satan and the liberal society to pat you on the back and say, "Hey. It's okay. Embrace your sexual feelings. Who's going to care?" And they'll ask you, "Who're you going to hurt?" I'll tell you who: everyone. Because that's just another sin that is going to lead to the world's destruction. Once again, I bring up the Sodomites. They had a choice: honor God by obeying His commands, or thumb their noses at Him. They went with Option B, and it got them killed.
Make no mistake. God is just. If He tells you not to do something, He means it. He has told all of us not to have sinful relationships, and one of those relationships is of the same-sex variety. He knows what He's doing, which is a lot more than what I can say about us.
Yes, it is completely natural...<b>to the homosexual</b>. But to everyone else (Well, a <B>majority</B> of everyone else), it's what God says it is: disgusting and abominable.
Lust for someone you are not married to is sinful. Obviously, it is very healthy for one to be "turned on" by their spouse. I mean, DUH! Can't make babies if you don't have <B>some</B> sexual attraction to the other person. LOL
God created sex for a purpose: to make children, who will hopefully be raised up to believe in God and come to love Him. It was made pleasurable, so the parents-to-be will <B>want</B> to engage in the act that creates babies in the first place.
It was not made so we could sleep with different people every week, and it certainly wasn't meant to take place in same-sex "relationships." That's it. End of story. Take it or leave it. But don't accuse God of making you gay. That's a lowly accusation, it's inaccurate, and it's insulting to Him.
