I’ll take a stab at it. The fallen angels (demons) hate humanity and its material nature. Because we rise and are united with God in His nature and are above them. However, because they have perfect knowledge they understand on an intellectual level the necessity for a material human nature. Homosexual sodomy is such a pervesion of that material human nature that even to them it is anathema.

That’s my understanding.

Not sure I agree with the huge leap and inference to “Bipolar Disorder”. Many mental illnesses have clear underlying physical abnormalities. “Bisexual Disorder” would have made more sense lol. Have to be real careful with any individual’s interpretations of Scripture OR Saints.

What I take from it is homosexuality is a mental disorder like we have other mental disorders. God can take away any mental disorder. To act on the mental disorder of homosexuality is a sin. Rational, sane thinking humans do not engage in sex acts with someone of the same sex. It’s not the way nature (God) wired us.

It is disordered behavior, against the natural order. One might or might not define that as "mental illness". Normally mental illness is not defined strictly in behavioral terms. Homosexuality includes a strong voluntary component, essentially 100%, very much unlike conventional mental illness. I personally believe homosexuality as as much or more "societal illness" as "mental illness", but with grave personal consequences both in the temporal life and beyond.

Individuals in a state of mortal sin (including sodomy) who fail to repent go to hell. Not to be crude but I would liken it to Satan and his minions saying, “this one is going against his own very nature. Easy pickings. Low-hanging fruit. Let’s move on to something more challenging.” That’s the best I got.

“I personally believe homosexuality as as much or more “societal illness” as “mental illness”, but with grave personal consequences both in the temporal life and beyond”.

Agree 100%.

Thanks. I didn’t get the inclusion of mental disorders, such as bipolar, as being perverse even to demons. I don’t understand what the author is trying to infer.
