Today, many people are still arguing about the issue of homosexuality. But how does God view homosexuality? The Bible leaves no room for confusion. It tells us that Jehovah God made man and woman and that he purposed for sexual desires to be fulfilled only between husband and wife. It comes no surprise then, that the Bible condemns homosexual acts.
Of course many would not agree and believe it and said that the Bible is out of date. But are you not curious why are some so quick to make that claim? Often, it is because the Bible’s view conflict their own thinking and point of view. They reject God’s word because it teaches something different from what they want to believe.
As a young person, you may be experiencing a variety of emotions. What if you feel attracted to the same sex? Does automatically mean that you are a homosexual? No. Remember, you are in the bloom of youth, a period in which you are subject to involuntary sexual arousal. For time, you attention may focus on a member of the same sex. But it doesn’t mean that you are a gay. In fact, statistics indicate that such inclinations usually fade in time. Still you might wonder how these desires start in the first place.
Some say that homosexuality is rooted in the genes. Others say it is learned behavior. Regardless of the cause, the important thing to realize is that the Bible condemns homosexual acts. Nevertheless, by heeding the counsel of the Bible, the person can refrain from acting on that desire.
Granted, same sex desires may be strongly entrenched. Be assured though, that even deeply rooted wrong desires are not insurmountable. Ultimately, you are in control of how you will live. And despite claims to the contrary, you can learn to control your impulses or at least refrain from acting on them.
