Saved from Homosexuality

[gringo300]

I don't buy into the idea that if a person gets saved, they will never be tempted to sin again or will never sin again.

I also don't buy into the idea that it's acceptable for a person to get saved and then go right back to living EXACTLY the same way they were before.

I believe that sometimes a saved person will fall flat on their face and fail MISERABLY to do what's right.

God is good, God is good. Praise him. Testimonials are not only stories of how the Lord has worked in ones life, but also an eye opener to those whom have distanced oneself from God, or have not found the freedom that is Christ. Your story and realization are a catalyst. Through reading your trial, others will be given strength and courage to break free the bonds of that which isn't Godly, and bring themselves to the one who truly knows who we are, and what we are meant to be. By simply sharing the story, you are not only affirming the powerful work of the Lord, but also opening the door for countless others. God bless, brother.

Hello Matt

Something I want to share on my thoughts with Homosexuality and the Bible. I've posted this on another forum.

*
I'm not here to judge anyone, only to give my thoughts on what the Bible tells me. If there was someone who was gay that came up to me and wanted to talk, I would greet him the same way I would anyone else.

I'm going to try and make this short, simple and to the point.

We were created by God to glorify him and to serve him. We were not created to make ourselves like the potter and to chase after our own desires and self pleasures. When we do this, we disregard the reason why we're here and turn this natural world into an unnatural one.

Sex is for one purpose only, to create new life to bring glory to God from his creation. Not for our own self pleasures to make us feel good. As the lord said, be fruitful and multiply. Not to be sexually immoral. The human body is a precious thing, and it belongs to the lord no matter how much you believe otherwise. When people lack God in their hearts, they turn themselves into something God like and do as they will. They forget we are here to serve him. The seed of man being wasted through Homosexuality or the egg of a woman as the same is something very precious. What a miracle it is, but people lacking God in their hearts throw it out the window. What people need to realize is why we are here in the first place, and how much of a miracle it truly is. The sin we are all born into isn't an easy battle to overcome, and many don't.

God created the natural world, man made it unnatural. To say God created homosexuality is to say God didn't give us freewill. Man created homosexuality through freewill, but If we didn't have freewill then how would there be true love? Like I've heard before, if you tell a computer to print out "I LOVE YOU", does it really love you? Or did you tell it to say that? To the people who say people are born with it, I believe you mean to say they were born without God in their life. Without knowing their purpose in this creation and who truly sits on the throne. People have forgotten what true love is, brotherly love for one another, not sexual desires. But man has fallen away from God and has twisted this world into something ungodly and vile.

Hold on to what you've received.

God Bless

Sorry but it didn't work. No pro-creating here. Plenty of pleasure. And I believe that enjoying all the pleasures that God has given us as a married couple to enjoy brings glory to Him.

AMEN...

1 Cor 7:8 But I say to the unmarried and to the widows: It is good for them if they remain even as I am; 9 but if they cannot exercise self-control, let them marry. For it is better to marry than to burn with passion.


Sex with a spouse is about passion for and with the spouse married to.

Sex any other way (with self or with a non-spouse) is just lust and that is where the sin is at.

[Proverbs 3:5-7]

My name is Matt, from Shreveport, LA. Before being saved by Christ 6 months ago, I lived a homosexual lifestyle. But I found that Gods grace is more powerful than any grip any sin may have on someone. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is the power of God unto salvation for ANYONE. I'm living, walking proof of that and my desire in This life is to spread the Biblical truth of Gods Word on this subject. My blog/testimony- "Gay Christian?" https://mattmoore89.wordpress.com/2011/0... -- I wrote this blog on Monday, obviously under the influence of the Holy Spirit because since then it has spread through facebook like wildifre all over the world. I'm still kind of in shock about it. No glory to myself, I can't even breathe without God much less write something like this. If you'd like to help spread his TRUTH and power of God, please feel free to post the link to my blog on Facebook or twitter, you most definitely have my permission to do so. God bless!

to this!... I am SO happy for you may God Bless your efforts in reaching out to the world about His Awesome Power & Grace... I can totally relate to struggling against carnal weaknesses & relying upon God to overcome ANYTHING this world can throw at us!

[Proverbs 3:5-7]

Hi Matt, thanks for sharing. Your testimony truly can help others bound by homosexuality realize that it's something they can be delivered from, just like any other addiction. Continue daily, to draw ever closer to Jesus, and please don't be discouraged by the Satan-inspired opposition that almost certainly will be come against you. "If God be for us, who can be against us?" God bless, brother.

to this!... his testimony has been a HUGE blessing to so many already
may God bless you TOO for encouraging HIM to stay strong in the LORD!

[Proverbs 3:5-7]

I'm so sorry that you haven't gotten a bigger response on this thread than you have...
would have been nice to see more support & encouragement from more Believers on here...

but I DO hope & pray that you're getting a more positive response of some of your other links...
& God will continue to BLESS you, as you witness to the world of His Power & Love

FYI if you who want to read the testimony, the blog has been taken down.

I hope that you are doing ok and that The Lord is being made known in your life. Shame I can't read the testimony.

Can anybody explain in a way that is even remotely logical why a blog on a Christian site that is honoring and crediting God would be taken down?

[Warrior4God]

Yeah, I didn't think anybody could do what I asked in my previous post...

[Proverbs 3:5-7]

Can anybody explain in a way that is even remotely logical why a blog on a Christian site that is honoring and crediting God would be taken down?

perhaps it's a sign of the times in which we live since The Truth about God AIN'T exactly popular with the secular world OR Believers who've been duped into conforming to or pacifying carnal mentality
