Can Jesus Christ cure my younger sister's homosexuality?

Question

My younger sister is attacted to women and is currently in a relationship with another woman. Me, and the rest of my family are very concerned for her well being, as we believe homosexuality to be a terrible sin. Is there anyway Jesus can cure her homosexuality? I keep hearing that he can, but so far, I don't know of any real world examples in which Jesus cured somebodies homosexuality.

Answer 1

There is nothing to cure.

Support love and honor your sister. Don't try and change people.

Answer 2

Really, do you know of any real world examples where "Jesus" cured anything? And what makes you think homosexuality is a sin, or a disease that can be cured? Does it say this in the Bible? The same "Bible" that advocates slavery? Maybe you should just follow the Bible, and slave your sister away. Oh, and while you're at it, give the guy above his 10 points.

Still don't believe me? Think I'm anti-religion? Well, maybe I am, but look at it this way. You believe God created us all, and also your sister. God also made your sister to be homosexual. Why would your God create something that was flawed? Either your God did it deliberately, and has no problem with homosexuality. Or, your God did it deliberately, and is a sadistically evil character. Or, your God made a mistake, and isn't as all-powerful as you thought he was. Now, you can either take the first option, and accept God's creation for what it is; or, you can choose one of the other options. which prove your God isn't all he's cracked up to be, and certainly doesn't sound like someone worth worshipping or listening to. That's YOUR choice.

Lesbianism is not a sin, it is a perfectly natural state of being which people should be free to live without interference from others. Lesbians suffer no hardship for you to be concerned about other than from discrimination from their friends, family and society. If you want to reduce the amount of hardship she is in you should stop being so discriminatory yourself and love and accept your sister for what she is. If she accepts you then it seems she is living a more Christ-like existence than you are.

There is no "cure" for homosexuality, by Jesus or otherwise. But there is a cure for ignorance. You need to get your hands on it.

Answer 4

All things are possible with God.

Every human being is called to receive a gift of divine sonship, to become a child of God by grace. However, to receive this gift, we must reject sin, including homosexual behavior—that is, acts intended to arouse or stimulate a sexual response regarding a person of the same sex. The Catholic Church teaches that such acts are always violations of divine and natural law.

Many homosexuals argue that they have not chosen their condition, but that they were born that way, making homosexual behavior natural for them.

But because something was not chosen does not mean it was inborn. Some desires are acquired or strengthened by habituation and conditioning instead of by conscious choice. For example, no one chooses to be an alcoholic, but one can become habituated to alcohol. Just as one can acquire alcoholic desires (by repeatedly becoming intoxicated) without consciously choosing them, so one may acquire homosexual desires (by engaging in homosexual fantasies or behavior) without consciously choosing them.

Since sexual desire is subject to a high degree of cognitive conditioning in humans (there is no biological reason why we find certain scents, forms of dress, or forms of underwear sexually stimulating), it would be most unusual if homosexual desires were not subject to a similar degree of cognitive conditioning.

Even if there is a genetic predisposition toward homosexuality (and studies on this point are inconclusive), the behavior remains unnatural because homosexuality is still not part of the natural design of humanity. It does not make homosexual behavior acceptable; other behaviors are not rendered acceptable simply because there may be a genetic predisposition toward them.

For example, scientific studies suggest some people are born with a hereditary disposition to alcoholism, but no one would argue someone ought to fulfill these inborn urges by becoming an alcoholic. Alcoholism is not an acceptable "lifestyle" any more than homosexuality is.

Answer 5

No he cannot, why? because homosexuality is not a disease. Why can't you just love her for her and not for who she loves? If jesus could "cure" things like that, don't you think he would start with real diseases, like cancer? Did you ever think about the sins you commit in your daily life? I see many Christians that commit a plethera of sins but believe it is okay because god will forgive them when they go to church on Sunday. Hypocrits, feeling this way about your sister is selfish, if she is happy, leave her alone.

Answer 6

Dude, You are not looking at the right thing. Yes, Jesus can cure her homosexuality. Like any problem we can expect to be healed if not down here, then up there when we have the nature of sin ripped away from us. As Hebrews 11 says, some have died without obtaining the promise because God provided something better for us.

So your focus is that she is Gay and that needs to stop. Pray again, I do not want to get in the way of your relationship with her or God. But with her, only show her love that we have been taught by Jesus. A kind of love that is evidence of our eternal goals. But also pray for her salvation, that her faith does not fail.

The important thing for all of us is our trust in God. Are we, or aren't we? What promise from God have you claimed today? Mine is 'As thy day, so shall thy strength be." and; " The Lord is my Provider." As I am disabled with a back injury, I can also claim, " With His stripes, I was healed."

Do not keep reminding her of her problem. Your relationship with her might suffer, and she might be discouraged with too much condemnation, which I am against doing in the first place, for we are all sinners, isn't that true??

Know that my own homosexual experiences drive me to get closer to God. I have NO DOUBT that I am a sinner. I don't have to look to deep to know it. And so I look to God in repentance to talk to him about it, thereby gain the delight that I have in the Lord through the communication with him, which IS an act of faith, which causes the Holy Spirit to work in me more. I benefit from my trust in Him, and am driven to do so the more I disgust myself. I have recieved this from the result of that communication: I am not putting sex as something so important, I have no ongoing OR recent activity in it. The thoughts are there, but God is there too. Sex is not so important to me anymore.

So this I will leave you with: Pray that your faith, and your sisters faith fail not. Pray that you enter not into temptation. Those were things that the Lord himself said to pray.

Answer 7

Jesus has never "cured" other biological features, such as eye color, hair texture, or cystic fibrosis. So no matter of prayer will "cure" your sister's homosexuality. As of yet, amputees have never regenerated limbs, so I can't see why your sister's attraction will change with anything short of traumatic psychological rehab, ie shocking her with electricity if she gives a positive response to homosexual material. By doing so, she will begin to associate the attraction to pain. This may "cure" her homosexuality, but it is bound to cause other issues which may be damaging to her and others. (versus homosexuality, which in itself is harmless.)

Answer 8

I personally havent heard any stories of that kind BUT there is nothing impossible for Jesus. Your younger sister must want help before receiving it. Jesus isnt gonna turn up uninvited.

Answer 9

Nothing is to impossible for God, Or Jesus. We're talking about a man that can raise the dead, a man that took a loaf of bread and fed 5000 people. You and yoru family have to stay in constant prayer about this. and don't doubt him because when you begin to doubt that's when you will sink your faith

Answer 10

Why don't you pray for blonde hair or a nose job or something useful? Better still do a course in human rights and stop abusing your sisters.

Answer 11

Of course He can. She has to be the one to ask for the forgiveness and she has to truly repent (turn her back) on the behavior that she is asking forgiveness for. If she truly wants to get out of it, Jesus will take the desire for it away if she will just ask him to.

Homosexuality is a choice, yes, but a sinful choice none the less. It is willfully disobeying God.
