Every honest Christian will admit that they still have the ‘tendency’, inclination or temptation to sin in a number of areas and they wish they were somehow above these temptations.

So why attach a SPECIAL stigma to homosexual tempation?

With other sins, the presence of temptation doesn’t bring the label back (i.e. the temptation to lie doesn’t make you a liar; the temptation to overeat doesn’t make you a glutton), why then would the presence of homosexual temptation makes a person a homosexual? The label comes with the ‘doing’ or with the domination…I would concede that a person who wrestles with homosexual temptations CONTINUOUSLY might warrant the label but otherwise, it’s just ‘the flesh’ being tempted in an area where it once found gratification. No different than any other Christian!

(BTW: I confess…I was the Anonymous at 8:24:17.)

“with homosexual tendencies who would rather not have those tendencies”

who hasn’t died yet. Joe Dallas of EXODUS’s definition of “Ex-gay” — a term that Mr. Worthen still favors.

Every Christian I have spoken to admits that they are still tempted to sin.

“Exodus’ part in the APA protest was to encourage the APA to respect a client’s right to self-determination whether they want to be gay or want to change. No desire to see homosexuality reclassified as a mental disorder.”

I made a note to ask Alan specifically if he believes homosexuality should be considered a ‘mental disorder’. Actually, he did post in response to another thread about a week ago so I hope to prompt him to revisit the site and post his own comments re this thread and/or the post convention thread.
