THE POPE SAYS GOD MA GAY PEOPLE JT AS WE SHOULD BE – HERE’S WHY HIS MENTS MATTER
* why god made me gay *
It is immensely powerful to hear that Pope Francis, the lear of the Roman Catholic church, reportedly told Juan Carlos Cz, a gay man: “God ma you like this and lov you like this.
THE GOSPEL FOR A GAY FRIEND
Lbian, gay, bi and trans people exist every muny, om every ethnic background and every relign. He ma iends wh other gay people and embarked on sexual exploratns.
Josh found a refuge his gay muny and veloped bonds that ran far eper than sexual flgs. Though his parents distanced themselv and old iends turned a ld shoulr, Josh felt he was fally ee his new inty as a gay man. It n be timidatg for people who have never stggled wh same-sex attractn to share the gospel wh a gay man or woman.
Ask him to help you unrstand how beg gay beme a central part of his inty. Christians have sned at least two major ways when to reachg those the gay muny.
‘GOD MA ME GAY’
On the one hand, some have laid asi God’s clear teachg that homosexualy is a s a misguid attempt to show God’s love. Share what the Bible teach about homosexual activy (Mark 7:21; Rom.
On the other hand, some have neglected passn and harbored a nscendg attu toward people who practice homosexual s. As we reach out to those gay muny, we mt strive to do so wh a siar heart. Ask God to help you to see those the gay muny as he do so you n mister wh Christlike nvictn and passn.
As was for Josh, the gay muny is a refuge om the rejectn and ner turmoil many gay people experience. ” But I tst that as we build relatnships wh gay iends and ve them to our hom and to our liv, they will see the te muny of which they have only dreamed.
WHY DO GOD MAKE PEOPLE GAY AND THEN SAY YOU CAN’T BE THAT WAY?
One of my most stctive tim the past was seeg a new believer get baptized and share openly about g out of a gay liftyle. As you build relatnships wh gay iends, ve them to your life that they may hear the gospel, but also let them see portrayed through the life of your lol church.

Why didn’t J say anythg about homosexualy? Can I bee a gay Christian?

“WHY DON’T GOD ANSWER PRAYERS TO TAKE AWAY GAY FEELGS?”
In a speech at a gay-advocy fundraiser Sunday, Democratic printial ndidate Pete Buttigieg fend his homosexualy a remark aimed at vice print Mike Pence, a proponent of tradnal marriage. Insistg that his homosexual behavr and legal marriage to another man do not ntradict his beliefs as an Epispalian Christian, Buttigieg said:. If me beg gay was a choice, was a choice that was ma far, far above my pay gra.
The claim that “God ma me this way” is a mon slogan heard om fenrs of homosexualy. And if he mak some people gay, then we should accept . Some Christians rpond to this argument wh what seems to be the only alternative: by sayg that those who intify as gay choose to be gay.
This rponse is ually met wh so much risn—“Wh all the homophobia the world, who would choose to be gay?? If by gay you mean “a person who engag homosexual behavr, ” then God don’t make someone gay any more than he mak someone an adulterer, a fornitor, or a man who has relatns wh jt his wife. But when most people say, “God ma me gay, ” they’re talkg about attractns (which they nsir part of a God-given inty) rather than behavrs.
“WHY DID GOD MAKE ME GAY?”
In orr to make that clear, when someone says that God ma him gay, or that he mak other people gay, you should ask two qutns:. A lot of people will say that God “ma them gay” bee they have had ep-seated attractns to people of the same sex for as long as they n remember.
This appeal to personal experience is so pellg to so many people that Marshall Kirk and Hunter Madsen, their 1989 “gay manifto” After the Ball, remend that homosexual advot work to persua the public that “gays are victims of circumstance, that they no more chose their sexual orientatn than they did, say, their height, sk lor, talents, or limatns. But we should be skeptil of the ia that same-sex attractns have a sole blogil or geic orig (the “gay gene”).
10 REASONS GOD LOV GAY CHRISTIANS
But tw studi have shown that homosexual orientatn is shared among only 20 to 30 percent of tws. Gays should be nsired to have been “born gay”—even though sexual orientatn, for most humans, seems to be the product of a plex teractn between nate predisposns and environmental factors durg childhood and early adolcence. So, science says that God do not “make people gay” a blogil sense.

Even though ’s a good example of an ner sire that most people agree we shouldn’t act on (though ’s creasgly beg viewed clil circl as a “sexual orientatn” like any other), most people will jt hear you sayg that “homosexualy is the same as pedophilia.
