Is it OK to be a Gay?

Some people came to me and asked if it was OK to be gay; my answer to this question is “Yes, it is OK to be gay.” Now before you go out there quoting me, just listen up to what I have to say.
God will not burn gays, God will not hate gays, and God will not stop loving gays. God however does not agree with this life style. We cannot judge gays because of their life style. In I Corinthians 6:9, Paul writes, “Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders” (NIV). Notice that homosexuality is number 5 on the list that includes:






So before you go out there pointing fingers on gays, look at yourself first. God hates the sin but loves the sinner, I think it is Ok to be gay but it is not OK to give yourself into your desiers.
If for some reason you are gay and you really feel you need to change, let me tell you something that might help. When Paul wrote this message, guess to whom he wrote it? On I Corinthians 6:11 it says, “And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.” So some of the people that Paul is speaking here were gays.
Some people might argue that being a gay is genetic and once you are gay, you never comeback. I won’t argue with that, however if a sex offender that struggles with pornography, if he/she asks God to help him/her, God will help, and even if the temptation is there, God will give victory to that person. Even if adulterer feels tempted to do it again, but he/she asks God for strength, God will help that person. If a male prostitute that gave his life to God, and changed lifestyles because of it is suffering because he is not make as much money as he was before, even if the temptation is there, God will also be there.
I can understand that gay will feel attracted to someone with the same sex, however, that person does not need to sin, if that person asks God for forgiveness, and asks God for help, He will provide the help you need. Satan will still tempt you, and you may loose some battles, but you will definitely win the war.

Good post mostly. It sounds like you'er lecturing people though. Do you have any faults? Do any of these things affect you? Or are you the stereotypical "perfect Adventist"?
Do you remember to pray for gay Adventists? Do you know any yourself?
Or do you just talk about them, shake you rhead and thank God you're a heterosexual?
That's a big thing in the SDA church. Few of them have any real problems in their lives.
They have almost perfect life trajectories.
