Do you believe that God can heal a homosexual turning him to heterosexual?

larrykeutner,\n\nYes, but God isn’t interested in changing or removing any particular sin. God gives a brand new life. \n\nI have no personal experience with homosexuality, but in my humble opinion, Sy Rogers is the best source of information on the subject and many other questions regarding Christians and sexuality.\n\nYou can easily find his website, and he or someone there will respond personally to your questions and concerns.\n\nSy was gay – and then some. He was 1 ½ years into the process of having a sex change at Johns-Hopkins medical center when he turned around. He had to live as a woman for 2 years before he could have the operation. (I’ve seen pictures of him during that time period, and he was a pretty good looking woman.) He told God to give Him a sign and the next day he heard on the radio that Johns-Hopkins was no longer going to do sex change operations because it was not a real fix for the deep-seated troubles that it was supposed to cure.\n\nHe has been married for over 25 years and has a daughter. He speaks to groups in churches or bars. He and his band were performing his music in a bar one time, and he asked if anyone would like to learn more about Jesus. About ½ the bar or 500 people went out into the parking lot to hear more. He is one of the boldest and most effective ministers of the gospel that I have ever heard, and I’ve been hearing them for over 50 years.\n\nI trust this helps.\n\nGod bless.\n\nlarrykeutner,\n\nOne of my best friends as I was growing up is gay. We have been friends for over 35 years.\n\nSy Roger’s good friends were the first 2 gays married in Hawaii. What started him thinking about leaving the homosexual lifestyle was when those 2 friends started reading their Bible while attending their gay church, and they decided that what they were doing was wrong. They told Sy the news, but it didn’t thrill him to say the least. That event was the impetus that caused him to question his desire to have the sex change operation.\n\nHe was so blessed to find a church where the men loved him and hugged him even though he still looked and dressed like a woman. (After all these years, Sy still has female mannerisms and sounds effeminate.) I pray that you will find that same kind of acceptance. \n\nThe real issue for all Christians is to love God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength. I don’t know you, Larry, but I can’t begin to tell you how proud I am to know you. I will never understand homosexuality without the requisite experience, but I know a lot about struggling with sin. If you like, I will tell you what has worked best for me. It is rather lengthy, but if you’re interested, I’ll send it to you.\n\nGod bless,\n\nTom

Emphatically No.   \n\nFirst off, do you really believe being gay is a "disease", afterall, that's what cures or for aren't they. If so you best dispose of yourself now because it's a "disease" that isn't going away any time soon, Christian bigotry notwithstanding.  \n\nSecondly, to even be asked this question by a "friend" implies a not to subtle discomfort.  Now some might say it's a harmless question, but would your friend like to be "cured" of his/her heterosexuality.  I suspect you would find the answer rather surprising.\n\nThe truth is that being gay is no more a disease than being straight.  When will young gays learn this.  When you ask such questions or worse, use the word "cure", you not only demean yourself but you also show great disrespect for those who came before you.  The ones who were tortured, murdered, beaten and ridiculed over the years.  The ones who fought with blood just so you could be free.  \n\nPlease, please, please cease this constant...."Oh I wish I were straight", it's frankly shameful and buys into the hate that has always tried to destroy the gay peoples of the world.  We are who we are, Generals (Alexander, Ceasar), Playrights (George Bernard Shaw, Oscar Wilde), Actors (sir Ian McKellan, Anthony Perkins, Troy Donahue, Tab Hunter, Rock Hudson, Marlene Detreich), I could go on but you get the point I hope.\n\nAs Jews have said throughout the last century and as gays we should also: "Never Again"

it wont change true christian minds. Abortion is wrong...period.  It doesnt even matter to me if they are born that way or not.  We are told not to engage in homosexual activity.  They might not be able to help their desires but they can control their actions.  Some people are genetically prone to be controlled by a substance ie, drugs or alcohol. Their desire for that will be very strong but that does not mean its ok to act on that desire.

Nowhere in the Bible does it say God made gays and lesbians.  However, I do believe they are born that way.  \n\nThink about this for a moment......why would anyone become gay?  Look at the hatred and ridicule they would have to put up with all their life.  Do you really think someone would make the conscious decision to live their life under a magnifying glass and hold themselves up for contempt and scorn????\n\nSorry but homosexuality isn't a choice.

Absolutely! God made you and he loves you very much!   Don't doubt that for a second.\nI have a problem with the "christians" who are so against gays. Who are they to judge? In the bible it says to judge not or you shall be judged. \nGod gave us the freedom of choice to determine our own course of life and be it wrong or right, that is a personal choice and if god isn't standing there telling you "Not to do this and not do do that" how can someone stand there and tell you what is wrong or right "in god's name"???

Hey bro, i know exactly how you feel. I actually used to be gay.  I knew that the bible talked against homosexuality and i felt trapped in this sin that i wanted to get out of.. Well i read this verse.. 1 corinthians 10:13\n\nNo temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it.\n\nthat verse changed my life, God will name THE WAY of escape that you my brotha will be able to endure and overcome it.\n\nThat WAY is Jesus! He delivered me from homosexual attractions and now im delivered and straight!  Of course, people will say oh no, im denying it, or i was never gay, but bro as i live, i am a testimony living and breathing of the glory and almighty power of God, that God is powerful enough to change sexual orientation and take that desire away. \n\n Id love to talk to ya more bro, please feel free to email me and i can tell ya my complete testimony and how i was delivered.  Im praying for ya bro, hope to talk to ya later man.\n\nGod bless\n\nps. might i suggest for you to be sure to try ur best to read like 1 chapter of the bible a day at least.  Its not long, and i promise you its worth it.  Start in Ephesians then 1st John, thats my advice to ya :) cya bro

I am a Christian and I believe that God loves ALL people and that yes, Gays will go to Heaven. It doesn't matter what their sexual preference is. As long as they are good people they will find themselves in Heaven when they die.

This is a serious question and I don't appreciate others making light of it.  First of all, the Bible is clear that being homosexual is a sin.  "For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet" \n(Rom 1:26-27).  Just look at the example of Sodom and Gomorrah (Gen. 19:24)!  Now, can a person be homosexual and go to heaven?  Well, if one has a sin of which is not repented, then he will perish:  "I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish" (Luke 13:3, 5). This is talking about the "2nd death" which is Hell.\n\nPut simply, "Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind," (I Cor. 6:9).  The "abusers of themselves with mankind" is refering to homosexuals.\n\nNow, God is a just and righteous God!  He would NEVER make it to where someone was UNABLE to repent.  Therefore, homosexuals are that by choice.  They can choose to repent, and obey God faithfully, and get out of that sin.  "There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it" (I Cor. 10:13).  Therefore, these that are involved in this sin are able to come out of it.  They can escape it, and repent, and become Christians, and then go to heaven!  How wonderful our God is.  The God of mercy, the just One!\n\nI hope this has helped.\nPlease e-Mail me if anyone would like a Bible study (Treytrumpet1@hotmail.com)

I just know of this one guy, one of those who followed him that either he loved a lot or was loved by him a lot. and he asked a guy three times: do you love me?\n\nI dunno if any of that is related to homosexuality...\n\nI just know that he is supposed to have done many other things than what's written in the bible, and that there is a statement somewhere that the law is saint, just and good, so I think that if he was exposed to a homosexual, he would have probably said "I forgive you. go and don't sin anymore"

Of course, God is cool and he understand your situations, if this wasn't true he wouldn't be God.\nHe is the one who has given the sexual desire so don't worry.

i think that you are totally right. liking someone of the same sex isnt a sin. god loves everyone and it doesnt specifictly say any where in the bible that gays and lesbians and going to hell. no one knows for sure. i thin kyou should turn the other cheak when someone tries to tell you that you are sinning because of what kind of person you are interested in! if god didnt want people to like other people of the same sex than why did he make htem that way? it think you should be you and not listen to anyone who puts you down! dont ever change because of something some one says to you!

being gay is not a choose.  If it were a choose I would be straight, when I was growing up I prayed everyday for God to make me straight but now I;ve learned to be happy with myself and who I am.

if they repent. A homosexual CAN be a christian BUT He or She MUST live in celibacy. With God ALL THINGS are possible

Not if they ask God to forgive them. In the Bible, it says being gay is a sin. Many people sin, and God forgives them. If Bin Laden asks God for His forgiveness, He will forgive them, so I guess He will forgive gays

If it's GODs will to heal them yes!
