Agreed here. But if they are chaste, are they still a homosexual?
I would say yes. I base this on the fact that I am an alcoholic. I no longer drink but I am still an alkie.
My view is that God made us the way we are warts and all for a reason. Over coming and resisting some of these faults are God's way of strengthening us, the whole sanctification process. Yes God might have made some people to be homosexuals but that doesn't give a person an excuse to indulge and nurture the behavior. I can offer more evidence that my alcoholism has a genetic basis than a homosexual can give for their homosexuality but that does not excuse me from living out my life as a drunk.
What do I base this on? Paul tells us in
Therefore, in order to keep me from becoming conceited, I was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me. Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.â€
2 Corinthians 12:7b-9
I know I'm taking this a little out of context but I think it helps make a point. We may be afflicted with sinful desire but that does not give us permission to give in to it. I believe it is the cross we must bear.
