Answer 1

HOW ONE HOMOSEXUAL CHANGED

A homosexual male, an actor, who eventually settled in New York city, tells how he made the change. This man was thoroughly homosexual. Let him explain the about-face he has made and the effort on his part that has been involved:

“I had been a homosexual since the age of eight; by the time I was twenty-three years old I came to be in absolute, unquestioned servitude to my flesh. Like many homosexuals I tried to salve my conscience and the seriousness of my immorality by saying, as do many sophisticates of this world, that I was ‘gay.’ But the simple truth of the matter is I was a pervert. I can still recall at least 150 males with whom I repeatedly engaged in every kind of sexual perversion. I do not say this to try to excite or ‘turn on’ anyone who may have homosexual tendencies but to illustrate the level to which I had fallen. Actually, by the gay world’s standards, I might have been considered only a moderate homosexual since I engaged in immorality with less than three different men each day.

“Secretly I knew that my homosexuality was wrong. And when, a few years ago, I was invited to a meeting of Jehovah’s witnesses, I began to reinforce this conviction about the error of the homosexual course. Additionally, I liked what I heard from the Witnesses. The idea of living forever in a paradise earth really appealed to me. It was so pleasant, so relieving. I had always wondered why the world is the way it is, with so much hate, greed and selfishness in it. I wondered what hope there was for the future. Jehovah’s witnesses gave me the answers. But even at that I did not immediately change my homosexual way of life; I knew that would be difficult, as I enjoyed it very much. Further, I was continuing my acting career, including taping my TV shows. I was making a lot of money and that, too, would not be easy to give up.

“However, in 1969 I was working in New York city and went to the ‘Peace on Earth’ Assembly of Jehovah’s witnesses at Yankee Stadium. During the concluding remarks I was really brought face to face with reality. The speaker directed his remarks to those who were not Jehovah’s Witnesses, saying: ‘You know you want to be in God’s new order. So why don’t you come along with us, and gain life in that new order?’ The simple truth of those words hit home. I did want life. I did love Jehovah’s people. From that moment on I began to make changes in my life. It was a question of either serving Jehovah and living or staying ‘gay’ and dying.

“To say that from then on I never had a homosexual experience again would really sound nice. But, unfortunately, it would be a lie. I did slip after that. But I did not give up. I detested what I had done and made a firmer resolve that I would not repeat the immorality again. Few persons probably can ever appreciate the fight I had—the terrible agony, day and night, as the ‘flesh’ cried out for satisfaction sexually. In time I won the fight, but not in my own strength. Continually I went to God in prayer and asked for his help, and he did help me. However, I took action in harmony with my prayers.

“I resigned from all acting engagements, even though it meant giving up many material comforts and much public exposure as an actor. I realized that the atmosphere in the field of acting is simply not conducive to practicing true Christianity or any decent morality. In time I completely left off all homosexual practices and was accepted for baptism by Jehovah’s witnesses.

“In the meantime I have married a fine Christian woman, and we enjoy true happiness and contentment in Jehovah’s wonderful marital arrangement. Also, I am a ministerial servant in one of the congregations of Jehovah’s witnesses. But particularly what brings me pleasure is that I now have a clean conscience, and I know that I am living a life that is pleasing to Almighty God.”

Answer 2

Science has studied homosexual feelings, and has discovered that being homosexual is involuntary, and discovered a possible "gay gene", but there is no cure for these feelings.

I really feel sorry for people like you. Your religion says that you can't be who you are. Your religion says it's sinful.

But your religion cannot possibly get all the details right. After all, there's all kinds of controversy between Christians about bible details.

It's gotten this detail wrong. You can be a faithful member of your religion, no matter what your sexuality is. Do you really think that God would create someone like you and intending you to shape yourself differently than what you are? There are lots of people like you who feel the same way.

No, all you have to do to be Christian is what any other person has to do- accept Christ into your life. And you are no more sinful than any other person. HOMOSEXUALITY IS NOT SINFUL.

Answer 3

Sometimes most, or even all of us had some type of fantasy of a homosexual nature. I've learned to accept that I have a bisexual tendency. You will find a gay in every life style and profession on earth. You will come across married men who have gay tendencies, you will find a gay doctor, a gay lawyer, a gay musician, a gay engineer, a gay architect, and the list is endless.

Seek not after the flesh, but seek after God and the spirit. Its wrong to commit fornication and commit adultery even though we all have the natural desire to do so. You just have one more tendency to control as the spirit guides. We all have natural desires and tendencies, every single one us on earth that God would like for us to not engage in.

And the last thing boils down to how much faith you have to keep his commandments.

I only have bisexual desires, I don't know about you, but with me, I think the women's body is the most beautiful creation on earth. Its a wonderful act a creation god tended for us. The mans gift of procreation is a wonderful thing god gave us, and its magnificent and beautiful as the women's gift in appearance and beauty. But women have the extra curvature and beauty that was intended as well for child bearing, nutriment, and to please the man.

And about science curing you, their may be some methods that psychologist can advise.

Answer 4

No. Even though most homosexuals live successful, happy lives, some homosexual or bisexual people may seek to change their sexual orientation through therapy, sometimes pressured by the influence of family members or religious groups to try and do so. The reality is that homosexuality is not an illness. It does not require treatment and is not changeable.

However, not all gay, lesbian, and bisexual people who seek assistance from a mental health professional want to change their sexual orientation. Gay, lesbian, and bisexual people may seek psychological help with the coming out process or for strategies to deal with prejudice, but most go into therapy for the same reasons and life issues that bring straight people to mental health professionals.

What About So-Called "Conversion Therapies"?

Some therapists who undertake so-called conversion therapy report that they have been able to change their clients' sexual orientation from homosexual to heterosexual. Close scrutiny of these reports however show several factors that cast doubt on their claims. For example, many of the claims come from organizations with an ideological perspective which condemns homosexuality. Furthermore, their claims are poorly documented. For example, treatment outcome is not followed and reported overtime as would be the standard to test the validity of any mental health intervention.

The American Psychological Association is concerned about such therapies and their potential harm to patients. In 1997, the Association's Council of Representatives passed a resolution reaffirming psychology's opposition to homophobia in treatment and spelling out a client's right to unbiased treatment and self-determination. Any person who enters into therapy to deal with issues of sexual orientation has a right to expect that such therapy would take place in a professionally neutral environment absent of any social bias.

Is Homosexuality a Mental Illness or Emotional Problem?

No. Psychologists, psychiatrists and other mental health professionals agree that homosexuality is not an illness, mental disorder or an emotional problem. Over 35 years of objective, well-designed scientific research has shown that homosexuality, in and itself,is not associated with mental disorders or emotional or social problems. Homosexuality was once thought to be a mental illness because mental health professionals and society had biased information. In the past the studies of gay, lesbian and bisexual people involved only those in therapy, thus biasing the resulting conclusions. When researchers examined data about these people who were not in therapy, the idea that homosexuality was a mental illness was quickly found to be untrue.

In 1973 the American Psychiatric Association confirmed the importance of the new, better designed research and removed homosexuality from the official manual that lists mental and emotional disorders. Two years later, the American Psychological Association passed a resolution supporting the removal. For more than 25 years, both associations have urged all mental health professionals to help dispel the stigma of mental illness that some people still associate with homosexual orientation.

Answer 5

If anything, this guy's dilemma is proof that being homosexual is not a choice, but is simply who you are. If it was a choice, then do you think he would even be on this board asking for advice in the first place?
No, there is not cure, as homosexuality is not a disease. There are factions of Christianity that accept people for who they are, and you can still be a good and loving person according to your religion, regardless of sexual orientation. It's not wrong to be gay. People are just different.

Answer 6

The feelings you are having come from satan himself. Don't let him keep you bound to homosexuality. God can deliver you from this spirit. You say you are a christian and believe me the minute we even think about turning our lives over to Christ the devil begins his attack. God can and will remove this spirit off of you and deliver you. Prayer and fasting is something you need to do. Keep yourself in God's word which is the Bible. Hold onto what you know of God which is unconditional love and forgiveness. Don't wait on science to find a cure for homosexuality. You have access to the greatest physician there is,,,Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior!!! Christ is the only cure you need! God Bless you and I am praying for you too. Please don't let anyone tell you God created you this way because he didn't. It is the fact that we are born into sin with a sinful nature that creates all kinds of sinfulness within us. This is why we needed a savior and Jesus died on the cross.....God knew we had no chance on our own to be saved. Satan is so crafty and cunning. He loves to put a nasty spin on the truth. It is so sad though that so many believe his lies.

Answer 7

Are you serious?
You are either gay or you are not.....
There is no magic pill.
I find it very concerning that you say I want to be healed!
It isn't like a disease my friend!
I am a straight male and a higher power believer!
But I seriously doubt any of this God not accepting gay people theories!
If he is a truly loving God as all Christians like to tell me he is....he will accept you as you are!
I believe in a higher power,not so much a God,but I would definetly not follow the teachings of a God that would look down upon someone who is gay,yet accept a child molester!
Just accept yourself for who you are......and don't worry so much about ANYONE judging you!!!

Answer 8

Why would you want to remain "faithful" to a God with the morals of the KKK?
Be proud of your own actions, and let others worry about casting stones.
I urge you to research the subject of Gods. You may find you are much more important in your life than some myth. Be honest with yourself, but make an honest inquiry. Good luck.

Answer 9

Do you belong to a church? At our church they have support groups and Biblical counseling for people who want to overcome issues like that in their lives.

A majority of men who have homosexual feelings have been brought up in a family where the father was either distant or abusive and the mother was domineering. Either that or they have been sexually abused when they were younger. If either of those two scenarios seems to fit your life, then counseling is definitely the way to go.

Rest assured that God will give you supernatural grace to be an overcomer in this area of temptation.

1 Corinthians 10:13 No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.

Answer 10

Your sexual preference is something that you are born with, its not a disease and so there is no cure.
You have to believe that God loves you just as you are. The Bible was written by men who were concerned about making people live life the way that they thought it should be lived.

They put "rules" and "morals" in there that they believed in. But to be certain that people would listen to them they had to say "God Said".
God loves you as you are and isn't that enough?
