Steven thanks for your testimony I agree with your view that homosexuality
is not an orientation we
are not born that way but its a choice.We can choose to live by what our flesh dictates or we can live by what God reveals through his word and by his holy spirit.If we
are serious
about following God we chose to follow him so it
does nt matter whether
gay or straight our choice
is to follow God with all our heart.I have never
been gay but have battled and
was overcome by my fleshly desires not until i turned from them and asked the holy spirit to help me have i
been changed for that i will always
be grateful to the Lord.So in that sense we
are no different our testimonys
are important and
are powerful.Thank you for your witness and may the Lord continue to use you as his vessel to touch lives and hearts for him.brentnz
