Jesus has promised to save all that Believe it.I trust in that Promise and that alone has saved me. It will work for anybody- homosexuals included. My first question to you is how long have you been a christian? Second question, does you wife know about you having many days of lusting over other women in your heart? thirdly , how do you think that makes her trust you as a being a faithful and loving christian husband towards her? As true and faithful Christians living by true FAITH/Faithfulness in Him and His Word, we are called to practice living daily in Holiness and FREE from sexual lusts of immorality by Gods word and heed to what Paul writes about in 1Thessolinians ch3 1 Thessalonians 4 A Life That Pleases God 4 Finally, our friends, you learned from us how you should live in order to please God. This is, of course, the way you have been living. And now we beg and urge you in the name of the Lord Jesus to do even more. 2 For you know the instructions we gave you by the authority of the Lord Jesus. 3 God wants you to be holy and completely free from sexual immorality. 4 Each of you should know how to live with your wife in a holy and honorable way, 5 not with a lustful desire, like the heathen who do not know God. 6 In this matter, then, none of you should do wrong to other Christians or take advantage of them. We have told you this before, and we strongly warned you that the Lord will punish those who do that. 7 God did not call us to live in immorality, but in holiness. 8 So then, whoever rejects this teaching is not rejecting a human being, but God, who gives you His Holy Spirit. No matter how one tries to make it sound ok, especially as a christian,from a biblical perspective its not right or ok for a christian especially someone who calls themselves a "seasoned christian" to be in a continual -many days- struggle with lustful thoughts. Lustful thoughts can be overcome conquered through Christ Jesus so that they no longer become a constant fantasy in our head. The bible states to be in continual battle with lust, the person may not really have the faith in God, that pleases Him, the kind of faith to ask God to help their stronghold of sin to be removed . The greater emphasis on faith and how to achieve it in ones life without struggling: (look to ephesian ch6) The Helmet Of Salvation, a helmet offers protection for the head. Not only righteousness which is of the heart. but a mind that knows the salvation of God and is submitted to Him is our armour. The mind that is not stayed upon God becomes a playland for satan's suggestions to pull away from the truth into areas of wrong decisions and actions. As true christians our minds continually must be under the blood of Jesus which saved us from sin in the first place. "For God has not given us the spirit of fear, but of POWER and love and of a sound mind." ( II Timothy 1:7) A person who dwells on negative sinful lusts and remains proud to admit it being ok, will never amount to a positive power force for God. God Himself has told us what kind of thoughts we must hold. Finally brethren whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure. whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report, if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. (Philippians 4:8) The Sword Of The Spirit. The Sword of the Spirit which is the WORD of GOD. Truth not only a Christians standing place, it is our defense to cut down the attacks of the enemy when he comes against us. It is also our offensive weapon to cut into satan's very territory. We are completely sheltered safe and sheltered in God when we practice at all moments of our daily life focus on Him and His Word. and when temptations comes we right away employ His Sword of the Spirit to overcome it. A christian who falls into sin needs to repent of it strait away and look to overcome that sin through putting on everyday His Helmet of Salvation and Sword of the Spirit= His word to fight satans vile attacks on us. The word says no temptation is given to us that cannot be conquered through Christ. 1 Corinthians 10:13 : 12So the one who thinks he is standing firm should be careful not to fall. 13No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, He will also provide an escape, so that you can stand up under it. 14Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry.… No weapon formed against thee shall proper, and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment though shall condemn. this is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of Me says the Lord.(Isaiah 54:17) Clothed in the full armor of God, prepared to stand despite the battle, we move on in our warfare from defensive to offensive to learn how actually to invade satan's territory and come away with unspeakable spoils of triumphant battle.Amen!

Amen!. Sin is sin. however The sin that corrodes the soul the fastest is deviant, lustful sexual sin. When lust is involved it is pride in the person that is being overtaken. And pride was the first sin before the fall. Lust is the opposite of Love. It is a completely selfish self serving entity. It is so damaging. just ask any child who was early on violated in such a way. Most if not every one damaged this way will say that a part of them died that moment when they became violated by someone else's lust imposed on them. They -the victims- themselves them became -traumatized,tainted by sin as it entered them- and overcoming such a traumatic violation can become a lifetime struggle that without Christ helping them, a sure destination to hell.

I agree. The point of the post is that ALL sexual sin is grievous (as is all sin in general) and we should be careful to " First, remove the beam out of your own eye, only then you can see clearly to remove the speck out of your brother's eye".

Being proud of it shows no merit to God, His Word or what His Son did on the cross to help us heal from it in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most bestiality has become legal declare Canada's supreme court: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/bestiality-legal-canada-supreme-court-a7073196.html There is now also the coming out of it being ok to be non gender binary?https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legal_recognition_of_non-binary_gender Pansexuality is now on the rise and the media are trying to make it an open and normal practice. Pansexuality, or omnisexuality, is the sexual, romantic or emotional attraction towards people regardless of their sex or gender identity. Pansexual people may refer to themselves as gender-blind, asserting that gender and sex are not determining factors in their romantic or sexual attraction to others. Now there is a news going around to make it a sexually lawful preference and practice for adults like "Epstein" to have sex with children, so that behavior like "Epstein" will become just another acceptable sexual way of life . I will never take away from my stand that sexual deviant lust is one of the most corrupt sins that allows satan to penetrate, steel kill and destroy deep into a persons soul and damage it profoundly. Only Gods Mercy and Grace through His Only begotten Son Christ Jesus can overcome and heal from such damage.

No. Anonymous commenters on some underground website? No again. The statement that paedophilia is “natural and normal” was made not three decades ago but last July. It was made not in private but as one of the central claims of an academic presentation delivered, at the invitation of the organisers, to many of the key experts in the field at a conference held by the University of Cambridge. Other presentations included “Liberating the paedophile: a discursive analysis,” and “Danger and difference: the stakes of hebephilia.” Hebephilia is the sexual preference for children in early puberty, typically 11 to 14-year-olds.
