is aroused by younger women with hard bodies and my wife is not the woman I married so long ago, will the gay community honor me for understanding and embracing my sexual identity and acknowledge that God made me this way? I can't seem to shake this thing off...so...If I divorce my wife and follow these desires, will you support me?

OK...let me clear this up. The homosexual "identity" is tied into their sexual desire. They claim that God made them this way...a precept I reject. My lust is from my brokeness...my point is that if they want me to honor their identity based on their sexual desire, I want the same treatment if decide to follow my brokeness. Fair or not? Homosexuals, will you honor me for self realization under the guidelines above? I will need to trade in my wife about every ten years unless this thing goes away. Yea or nay?

As an aside...I am embarrassed that some of the Christians piping in don't understand the premise of this challenge...(sigh).

For the record...I have been happily married for 23 years and have never been unfaithful...also, if I outlive my wife, I will probably not be interested in marrying again...I will just devote the rest of my life to Christ...unless I burn with passion and then I will seek a wife. I simply cannot believe that christians answering are so spiritually dense that they cannot understand the challenge this question presents to the gay community. I have used it in ministry and it is very effective....but first things first, you have to have a relationship with homosexuals to earn the right to have this discourse and to open their hearts to receive the Word.
Good luck.

Beautiful, Dude. I get it completely and imagine it is quite effective in ministry. Do you have it copywritted or patented? Or am I free to use this analogy at will in my own ministry? Happy fishing...

What does this have to do with the whole issue of homosexuality? All people experience lust for others. And yes, quite often men lust after women who are younger and more attractive to them then the woman they have chosen to marry. You just have to deal with it. You can leave your wife if you choose. Its a free country and the mechanisms for divorce are entrenched in our legal system. But many people find that they are able to continue on in a loving relationship despite aging and the inevitable changes in one and other.
I am sure many people will support you if you divorce your wife. Those close to you would find it unpleasant, but if they are your friends they would support you.
But again, why are you concerned about the 'gay community' supporting you?

Remember the marriage vows? "For better or worse, as long as you both shall live"?
You are trying to gain justification for your lust by flimsy excuses. And I can bet you're not the man she married so long ago, yet she is pleased to stay with you.
God didn't make you this way, it is a choice on your part.
Now, how would you feel if she felt the same way about young hard-bodied men?
Addendum: Solomon tried following pleasure and he found it to be a vain pursuit. Read Ecclesiastes, I think you'll find answers there.

NO, and this is an abomination unto God and u will be turned over to a reprobate mind Romans Chapter 1. Plus God did not make you that way you made the choice. The Lord loves You and wants to help you in the midst of all of this He sends no one to hell for hell was made for the devil and his angels Jesus came and died on the cross to save us save us from ourselves and we are saved through faith in Christ it is a gift you cannot earn it. Have u ever heard of Amazing Grace , well we are saved by Grace it is a gift Ephesians 2, 8 and 9 someone was very wise in saying let the Holy Spirit help u and ask the Lord to guide your steps. He wants you to ask him for wisdom. He says you have not because you ask not.

It's sad when good willed people try to rationalize and justify things away in their own minds.
You know what is right and wrong.....I'm sure you parents or care takers taught you this at some point. Plus, God created within you a thing called conscience. Even though it can be seared, it is still there.
God also wants us to learn by way of the Holy Spirit!!!
Ask Him for understanding and wisdom regarding your questions. I am SURE He will guide you in the "right"eous direction!
peace man

god didn't make you that way. You are that way because we live in a fallen world. God made us perfect, and then we sinned and messed it up for everyone. You can shake off any desire, if you really want to. There is help if you want it, but you have to decide that you really want it. Or, are you looking for justification for your future actions?

Oh, sure. I'll support you. Does that make you feel better? Will you turn to me when times are tough? I think you need to do this alone, since you got this far by yourself.

I'm not gay, but if I were, I wouldn't give a spit. It's your life and that's between you and your wife. Go nuts! It's not my job to judge other people's sex lives.

You seem to be confusing lust with love.
