poptart, have you ever prayed the gay out of someone?

Is it possible?

Why does God make gay people?

What if the only bar in your neighborhood is a gay bar? Is it okay to grab a cran-tini there? Would God let the rules slide for Happy Hour?

We should look at what God created.

Genesis 2:19-24
[19] And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.
[20] And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him.
[21] And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;
[22] And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.
[23] And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.
[24] Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.


God created women to be man's partner.

It was only after the event of Genesis 3, where man left God's Word, sinned, and became captured by satan, did all manner of unhappiness occur -- including man partnering with man, rather than woman.


The issue is not homosexuality, but the issue is the spiritual state of the individual.
Homosexuality is a symptom arising from being in a state away from God.
Romans 1:18-32 explains it well.


Can homosexuality be prayed away?

Sexual inclinations and desires go VERY deep -- deep to the soul of a person.
They are rooted.

The non-believer absolutely must meet God and be restored spiritually.
Homosexual activity is not his issue.

The believer who is within homosexuality needs to be spiritually revived through the Word (which is Christ) and prayer.

Then it is in God's hands.

Uhm, Pops... you do realize that the practitioners of such activities named their "affliction" after a word that means "happy," right?

Doesn't bode well for your theory.

Now, women who partner with women -- them's some miserable bitches.

"BOOOO!!! Down with poptart! You take Bible...go home! GO HOME NOW!"

If they're so "happy", why are they so bitchy?

So, it's one man being "relieved" by the hand of another man.

Sounds kind of gay, in a Godly way.
