Hope for the homosexuals (John)
I don't know about Hope. What is Hope? Hope of Salvation for Gays? (Kevin Lee)

Kelvin,
Before I knew Christ personally in June 1997, I was involved in homosexual relationships (3 relationships have physical involvement and 13 others do not). I strongly believed that I was borned this way. I do not think that it was a sin then. I view it this way : that it was my right to choose the way I want to live, i.e. to satisfy my own desires, even though it is an unnatural relationship. I was doing well in NTU - good grades with good honours degree, and earned very much more than my peers. (Not knowing that it was purely due to the wonderful grace of God that I was doing well - He did not punish me according to my sin) So, Kelvin, you are doing well now does not mean God approves of what you are doing, or condones to your homosexual desires. After I know Christ as my personal saviour, it gives me a chance to tell myself I want to start my life anew - and subsequently I read the Bible and it told me that for those who are in Christ, he is a new creation, the old has gone, the new has come. So I thought that I can start my life anew without the need to struggle with the sin of homosexuality anymore. I was wrong. About three months after accepting Christ, the temptation of homosexuality came when I see a nice looking ... Immediately, I prayed to the Lord for help. I refused to entertain the thought by asking the Lord to help me remove such thoughts and tendencies. I grieved, I confess, I repent and I said "NO" to the temptation each time the temptation comes. These thoughts did not stop at once... It came repeatedly and I apply the same "NO" attitude time again... But once or twice I fall into the temptation, only to come out of it a few days later... thanks be to the Lord. (Those times I did not reveal to the subject that I fancy him. I knew the problem lies with me) I just find that the Lord is so good. He is nursing my wounds and at the same time and is helping me to quit being a homosexual. It is not an overnight process, Kelvin, it took God three years to help me overcome this problem. And now, I am beginning to fancy the opposite sex and am hoping to find a life partner and get married, if it is His will. Take heed and do not lose heart. There is DEFINITELY HOPE in this. I pray that you will read my comments soon, since you wrote yours in January 1999. I believe that the Lord is good and He will guide you to read this. Kelvin, say "No" to sin. Crucify the self - apply the cross in your life. You will definitely get out of this bondage of sin, with the Lord's help! God bless you and your family. Cheers!
