when i fall in love, no matter how hard i try, in the end i really can't prevent myself from wanting to kiss the person that i fell in love with. i'm just a normal guy, and it's kinda in my nature, sorry.
and well (blush) then i kiss her. i admitt it, i kiss her!
(and other thingy's, but hey, there are also kids on this website)
but.no matter how hard i would try to stop myself...my lips move towards her lips..and well...yes...(blush)..then i kiss her..
NOW, ehm..the last hour i've seen about a 1000 christian reactions on a lot of questions, saying "if homosexuality would not be a choice, it at least is a choice if they act on it..and they can also choose NOT to act on their feelings"
QUESTION: How on earth can two people who are in love NOT act on those feelings? have christians never heard of Romance?

Hello! princess isa spicez!
Anyway, I truly think you cannot help who you fall in love with. If my husband had had any other "packaging", I still would have fallen in love with him.

Yes, part of Christianity DOES involve learning some self-control.
Christians do believe that God strengthens us to use self-control, but even Biblical writers like Paul admit that it IS human nature, and for that reason he advocates marriage for many.
Of course, if you have absolutely NO self-control, I'm not sure you'll be very successful at marriage or any kind of relationship. At some point, you really do need to set some limits for yourself.
As to the homosexual issue, I suspect most Christians, and in fact most people do indeed believe it is a choice. However, even if we put all that aside, I can't see that your argument holds much merit. Either it is right or it isn't. The 'rightness' or 'wrongness' of an action isn't based on whether it's difficult or not. Our urges, thankfully, don't determine whether something is good or bad. Anyone who lives purely by their urges and never seeks to control them is a danger to society, whether he be gay, straight, married, single, Christian, Jew, Muslim, or Atheist.
Have you ever considered what a society would be like if everyone always felt free to act upon their feelings?

1 John 5:7
For there are three that bear record in heaven, the FATHER, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are ONE
1 John 5:8
And there are three that bear witness in earth, the spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in ONE.
1 John 5:20 ( note all will not get this understanding)
And we know that the Son of God is come and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in the Son of Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life..

Kissing is not love, merely an expression of it. And not all kissing is an expression of love. Much teenage kissing and the like is based largely on lust. Kissing is not bad. ;) But some restraint at some level should be shown. I trust I do not have to explain myself :)

What's with all your (blush), ehm...well...yes...(blush) phony-baloney stammering? and well (blush) it doesn't translate well from a keyboard, sorry.
We are commanded to love God above all people and to obey Him above all people, including ourselves. He kinda created us that way, sorry.
You think romance and righteousness can't go hand in hand? You, ehm...well...couldn't be more wrong. If you can find a Bible someplace, read Song of Solomon.

If one is abiding by God's instructions for life, he will not consider a same sex union in the first place. It is not an option, but rather an "abomination" and "vile". Romans 1
