And Christ’s blood makes being “a homosexual” into a past tense for a believer. We now have, instead, a saved sinner with temptations.

Being a saved sinner is different from being a Homosexual. Being a Homosexual implies still having that spiritual disease.

Whomever Christ saves, he changes, effectively giving that man or woman power over the sins that once controlled him.

2 Corinthians 5:17 (Whole Chapter)
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

This is not about a born-again homosexual, there is no such thing. Because anyone willing to call themselves a homosexual implies the evil desires of that disease are still active. God changes the heart of the man/woman who has been born again through the blood of Christ.

Once God saves a homosexual, he heals him/her of that disease, and mark my word, it is a disease.

The reason I am being so emphatic about this is because what Paul said in Romans Chapter 1:

18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;

19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.

20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.

24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:

25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

26 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:

27 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.

28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,

30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:

32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.



It is clear from this scripture that God gave up the men/women who not only were seperated from him but continuously chose to be seperated from to this disease.

Homosexuality is a punishment given to those who refuse to honor God as God but instead continually choose to server their own selfish desires.

If someone is still a Homosexual, there is no God in their life.

The two are anti-thetical to each other.

One has to be careful to not conflate “being a homosexual” with “experiencing a certain profile of temptation.” Some miraculously find themselves temptation free, others have a more difficult row to hoe. To call the latter non believers of necessity, is an untruth and an insult to God.
