when you have that "gut feeling" that homosexuality is wrong, that it is some how unnatural, do you deny that a gay man could be innately repulsed by the thought of sticking his weiner in a woman?
If he told u that he had this "gut feeling" that sex with a women was unnatural (to him anyways, as most people are not gay) and he was repulsed by the thought of it, would he be lying?
why is it that when you feel that "gut feeling", is it because of god's good grace and your faithfullness to him,
but when gays feel that "gut feeling", it's because they just don't happen to have sexual desires for the opposite sex?

God doesn't give you a gut feeling. It comes from inside you, your very sense of being. If it feels unnatural to you, then it is. Just like I got the gut feeling that church isn't for me. Would that be "god's grace" to you?
Different strokes for different folks!

Speaking from a personal struggle, I totally understand what you mean by feeling repulsed by sex with a woman. Its not wrong for us to feel that way, its normal, but that is not to say that it is right either. I am more comfortable with a man, but that "gut feeling" that you talk about eats away at me, and while i enjoy the experience at the moment, afterwards a certain type of hell settles over me. The guilt and shame of acting upon those desires are all I can feel. What we have to do is learn to control our desires and thoughts, so that even though we have them, we do not act upon them. But in denying ourselves this certain "pleasure" is not to say that suddenly we are attracted to women. I don't know how it will, or can happen, but I do believe that maybe there is a chance that some woman will find their way into mine, and your heart, and touch that part. Then we can have a fulfilled relationship with someone, that can last beyond a "quckie" or a "weekend fling".
Dude, if you're really interested you should get on the Living Hope Forums, http://forums.livehope.org/, There are other guys who are having the same thougts and feelings, and they are there to share their thoughts. I'm on them, and its good because I can be bluntly honest about what im thinking or feeling. Anyways back to your question,I hope I was able to give you a somewhat sensable answer. Well I'll talk to you later. Goodnight.

Assuming that this is an honest question....
If you have a "gut feeling", you need to discern whether your "gut feeling" is a universal thing, in that you have a "gut feeling" that should apply to the entire universe.
Mostly, a "gut feeling" applies to the person having it. In this case, homosexuality would be wrong for you.
Some have "gut feelings" that drinking is wrong. Such people were involved in the prohibition movement. In the end, they were proved wrong. Most people can drink safely and without consequence. Others cannot. Because something is wrong for some does not make it wrong for all.
Some have "gut feelings" and base a religious movement upon them. They try to create a world based on their beliefs. In Mormonism, drinking alcohol, coffee, indeed any hot beverage as well is wrong. This is an attempt to place moral control over a large group of people. Such is the case with the religious right and homosexuality. Because a group thinks it wrong, they wish to make it illegal for the country, and if possible, the world. They believe their view to be the correct one for all of mankind.
So, where do you stand? Is your "gut feeling" one which should apply to all, even if they have "gut feelings" that differ? With contradicting "gut feeligns" how do you decide which is right?
Some run to scripture. They claim their scripture to be unfailing truth as it is the word of God. In the end though, there is no concrete proof that ANY scripture is the word of God as there is no empirical proof of God.
My oldest daughter is a Christian, and I, a Pagan. We still love each other, and the only religious consel I've given her is this: "Believe what you do, and live it faithfully. Please though, don't allow yourself to believe that just because you're right, that everyone who doesn't believe as you, must be wrong."
To you, please obey your conscience. Do what you belive is right in your life, and teach your family and fellow church-goers the same. Living honestly is commendable. Integrity is paramount. Imposing your beliefs on those who believe differently is making the jump from faith and trust to domination.
Blessings,

You know, I always hear the excuse that "its not natural because the parts don't fit". That's BS. And sometimes in hetro sex the parts don't fit together too well.
The gay-bashers just don't use their imaginations; or maybe that the problem, they think about it too much.
You make some very good points. Most lesbians are repulsed by the idea of having sexual intercourse with a man just as a gay man would be repulsed by the thought of having sex with a woman.

yes - alot of gays have the same gut feeling toward the opposite gender as straight people do toward the same gender when it involves sex.
I dated both until I was 22 and it never felt right to be with a girl, it felt like I was going through the motions but that it wasn't me just someone else's life or what I was supposed to do.
It feels very right to be with a guy though I know biology says it shouldn't be so. But that's how I feel.
There is always a percentage of the population that is handicapped, genius, gay, etc. It's not right or wrong it's just a difference.

To shorten your question a bit..if you are asking if it is possible that gays are born with an innate desire for the same sex rather than a learned or aquired taste...
I believe the more important question is: What does God think about acting on those desires? Many Christian heterosexuals have very strong innordinate desires as well...we all have to submit to God's ordinances to avoid judgement.

I don't think a god has anything to do with deviant genes.and what does morality have to do with it ? don't you see that crosses some lines it shouldn't ? Is it sinful for those born without legs to use a wheel chair just because they weren't born totally normal.
Be kind to the infirmed and unnatural don't lay guilt trips from the gods of questionable truth on them .
peace out

If a man really thought that, I swear, I really do think even if he's gay, he's got a sexual deviation and a sort of psychological condition.
It really does defy everything innately natural in your species.
To be mentally "sickened" by your life's actual function to procreate really does scream psychological sex deviation.
sorry.
you can get away with your semantical arguments about what is "normal" but we all know what is "natural" dude.

Well because Christians don't think like that. See they have also told me that they know god and jesus exist because they can really feel it in their hearts and have seen his work in their lives. Funny, I bet people of other faiths feel the same too, but why don't they empathize with that?

feelings are fickle
God's word is truth that lasts beyond the roller coaster
it's like I don't feel saved
God's word says it's not a feeling, its an event that is done once and forever
