Your comment made me smile, PRS. You'd be a great at debating, you get to the gist of the matter.

There is evidence that they are cured? I know some homosexuals chose not to live as a homosexual but are there ones that lose that desire?

And I believe that God can do anything he wants. I have experienced and seen things happen than can be no less as described as a miracle. I believe that God is behind those miracles.

How many Christians do you know who would claim they no longer have sinful urges after they are saved?

Yes. One of them is Brad Grammar, who was a homosexual for many years until GOD eventually cured him of his same sex attraction and has been happily married to his wife for almost 20 years now. He spoke at our church a couple of years back here is the sermon:

Do you even know what the Bible says about homosexuality?

i am sure it is pretty bad ... but i guess i can't claim to be Christian if i don't see being gay as a sin ...

i think some people are born murderers, rapists, incestous, beastialists, pedophiles and polygamous but that doesn't make em acceptable to society

first off the stuff you claim is going on is already illegal, there doesn't need to be another law making it illegal to shock someone in the balls against their will

secondly is incest okay since it is a loving monogamous relationship, how about pedophilia as long as both parties are consentual

since you said you are open to being swayed, i will just say ask you if you are open to accepting people as pedophiles, incestous, "animal lovers", etc....






and lastly, if the whole ball shocking thing was some form of perverted sex, then it would be getting "protection", instead of ranting about leaving them alone with what happens behind closed doors, they are banning it
