Homosexual inclinations do not just go away. Temptations to lie and cheat are always with us, also. And sexual temptations, regardless of preference. Most of us have said "no" to temptations to lie and cheat on so many occasions, so consistently, that those temptations whisper at us, but do not shout. Give in, and they will shout.

I personally believe that homosexual inclinations are no different. I believe homosexual fukking is wrong. Fornication and adultery are also wrong. "Wrong" and "right" also serve as guidelines for living a good and happy life, in addition to living a life that pleases God.

I believe this to the degree that I regard homosexuality (the kind where the guy is not attracted to females) as a call to live a pious life. This person has a steeper slope to climb than most. What he is asked to do is to deny these urges. Consistently. Denying urges raises our spirituality. Most religions suggest or require self-denial. Fasting is a common method of moving toward spiritual purity and spiritual openness. And frankly, it works. By the time this homosexual guy gets consistently on top of these urges and is successfully living a life that pleases God, this person will be very spiritual. Inspirational. And so, here is where it gets tough. This person should probably be serving in a ministerial role of some kind. Unfortunately, we now know that the clergy has had a good number of similarly-situated souls, and that when they slip up......we have clergy members having sex with boys. Not good.

Some of you know very well that walking the spiritual path means you get more grace.......and more trials. It is the hard liquor of faith. Most folks just get the beer and wine. Those who choose to follow God get the good stuff. Because they can handle it.
