God and Same-Sex Attraction
Рет қаралды 5,765
3 жыл бұрынHow can Theology of the Body aid someone who struggles with same-sex attraction in growing closer to God? Two fundamental truths stand out: One, Jesus is the complete fulfillment of every human desire. And two: every perverse desire is a fundamentally good desire that has become disordered. In this segment, Christopher and Wendy discuss how God can penetrate the heart of those who struggle with same-sex attraction.

How do we as Christians help a non-believing homosexual turn to Jesus Christ and turn away from the sins of the flesh?

As a Reformed Protestant who struggles with same sex attraction in the bisexual category, I definitely can testify to what was said here. I do feel that sexual/lustful/cannibalistic desire towards men. This is where I ask the Lord Jesus to heal, transform, cleanse, and renew my desires so that I can be oriented towards a more holy and pure heterosexual desire that glorifies Him.

if you feel cannibalism (eating human flesh and drinking blood) is disgusting than think of those hordes feasting on Gods flash and blood and this only fortaste of real feast in heaven. now I know why zombie movies are so popular - it's twisted original craving planted in every human heart by God .

In my personal opinion. The view Catholics take on same sex attraction is the same view they toke on for interracial attraction before the 1950s.

This is sick -- desiring to drink another man's blood -- but if you are doing the best you can according to your conscience, God will be with you. Truth is, however, in my experience God and humanity bless healthy gay and lesbian unions just as he blesses hetero unions. You may never receive the grace to understand that -- but maybe you will, in time.

All this "struggling" you think homosexuals are going through. The only struggling going on is you not understanding this issue you feel you can speak on.

that's not an argument. It sounds like you don't really have anything to counter what was said in this video. Stop condoning sin.

@@Tehz1359 Let me ask you, do you think he presented any argument? A gay man who wants to drink blood and gays have a cannibal compulsion? Lesbians want to marry their mother? Knock it off with believing this silliness and what are the weirdest arguments I've heard on homosexuality to date.

@@inYTbio_SiteLINKs2Verses_Bruv Did you know there are Catholics who are homosexuals who follow Church teaching? This idea that this is not possible is simply outdated. What about people like Milo Yianopolis or James Parker? Why are you castigating another’s worldview? Are you suggesting there is no such thing as Catholics who struggle with undesired same-sex attraction? I agree with you the other speculations West made that you mentioned are strange and wouldn’t agree with them, but do you care to tell me why would you think same sex attracted Catholics are not struggling?

@@wanaspola216 I know there are homosexual Catholics who follow the Church teachings, I know some, they also believe it isn't a struggle. What about the worldview of those people? Are they any less relevant? Or do you believe these supposed damaged birds called "ex-gays" have the monopoly on truth? God not loving you because you're gay is what's outdated. If some do "struggle," and I have no doubt they do, it's because the Church has told them they need to see their orientation as a war they need to fight. The fear of Hell can make people believe and do some dumb things.
