| Can you be a Christian and a homosexual? |
Living as a Christian with homosexual desires is not easy, but the testimony of many within TfT is that is certainly possible and amazingly can have real rewards in terms of spiritual and character growth. Sexual feelings are often really expressing a desire for love that goes deeper than the sexual attractions. However, God has created us ‘not to be alone’ and therefore we each need to work how He can help us to meet this need through Godly relationships, based on our value as God's children. |
| Will my struggle ever completely go away? |
Nowhere in the bible is there a promise of a temptation free life. Jesus challenges His followers to take up their crosses and die daily and Romans Ch8 v12-13 challenge us to continue to live from the Spirit of God rather than our sinful nature. Struggles of one sort or another are most likely therefore to remain a “thorn in the flesh” to us. As we yield to Christ and learn to overcome, they could well diminish, and we can never rule out a sovereign act of God. |
| Is it possible for a gay person to become straight? |
“All things are possible”, but perhaps it is better to ask “How likely is it?”, and even perhaps “How necessary is it?” Many gay people desire to be straight, but is just being straight, a godly goal? For the Christian exchanging one set of sexual temptations for another set, is not really much progress in terms of living a life that gives glory to God. We must at least look beyond the world’s view of sexuality and ask what does God require of me? |
| Do homosexuals choose to be gay? |
In some cultures, there have been times when homosexual activity has been seen as fashionable or convenient. However, for the vast majority of people attracted to others of the same sex, these attractions are not a choice. The attractions often bring a burden of shame for the individual and opposition/prejudice from others. |
| What causes homosexuality in a woman? |
The causes of homosexuality in women are similar to the causes for men, although some women struggle more with emotional dependency than erotic desires. |
| What causes homosexuality in a man? |
The causes of homosexuality in men are similar to the causes for women, although generally men struggle more with erotic desires than emotional dependency. |
