The bigger question, oh uncultured one, is why you go out of your way to accuse him of having such desires in the first place? His denial is only in response to your false allegations.

http://theologyonline.com/showthrea...k-09-05-2010&p=2422248&viewfull=1#post2422248...I am a traitor in the eyes of the homosexual community, and I have already been called names, told I'm a liar, and even threatened because I am a former homosexual. I also often get told either I wasn't gay to begin with, or I still am gay as it's not possible to change.
I was doing outreach at Cardiff gay mardi gras two days ago. I'd never done outreach at a pride parade before. I used to go to pride events as a gay man. Some people took our tracts and read them, some binned them, some burned them. One of the guys I was with started preaching, and then asked me to preach and share my testimony, which I did. Many people tried to shout me down, and some looked ready to assault us! I did have some meaningful conversations with people about my story after this, and I hope and pray that they will also come to know God like I did.

While I look for the post by a well known and highly respected TOL'er who stated during his college days that he was tempted to be orally sodomized by another male and ask him again what he believed caused his homosexual desires and what he did to overcome them...
I could spend the entire day sharing words of wisdom from posts my good friend LMOHM aka Pete has shared here on TOL regarding homosexuality (and will do so at a later time), but Church calls

Welcome back Pete! Have I mentioned how much admiration I have for you writing your award winning post?
Here it is again for those of you who missed it.

Pete's own testimony talks about the things that have been covered extensively in this 5 Part thread (what causes homosexual desires and can they be cured and the moral depravity of the LGBTQ movement, in this case the pro homosexual Metropolitan Community Church).
Ya know Pete, there was another TOL'er that had homosexual desires. He wrote about wanting to receive oral sodomy from another male during his college days. I asked him to share his testimony in the latter part of Part 4, but he never did respond.
I'll see if I can find it and share it here.
Again, thanks for your great contribution to TOL and this thread!
Wow, the more I read posts by LMOHM aka Pete, the more admiration I have for this young man!
Check this out from another thread:

You cannot say "All men are created equal " - except for LGBT people . If you believe this, you are a hypocrite !

Of course when he said "...but not all behaviours practiced by men should be equally tolerated", he was talking about not tolerated by society and it's institutions, civil government being one of them.

I was, was I? I was speaking from a Christian perspective in regards to the church. Unlike you, I’ve never wanted to see a theocracy.
The Catholic Church's position on homosexuality remains the correct and best expressed Christian position, calling out the mortal sin for what it is, yet recognizing that they suffer from a disorder - as do we all - and are called to the Christian life and therefore, like all sinners called to repentance, should not be singled out for special hatred or persecution:
Chastity and homosexuality
2357 Homosexuality refers to relations between men or between women who experience an exclusive or predominant sexual attraction toward persons of the same sex. It has taken a great variety of forms through the centuries and in different cultures. Its psychological genesis remains largely unexplained.
Basing itself on Sacred Scripture, which presents homosexual acts as acts of grave depravity,141 tradition has always declared that "homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered."142 They are contrary to the natural law. They close the sexual act to the gift of life. They do not proceed from a genuine affective and sexual complementarity. Under no circumstances can they be approved.
2358 The number of men and women who have deep-seated homosexual tendencies is not negligible. This inclination, which is objectively disordered, constitutes for most of them a trial. They must be accepted with respect, compassion, and sensitivity.
Every sign of unjust discrimination in their regard should be avoided.
These persons are called to fulfill God's will in their lives and, if they are Christians, to unite to the sacrifice of the Lord's Cross the difficulties they may encounter from their condition.
2359 Homosexual persons are called to chastity. By the virtues of self-mastery that teach them inner freedom, at times by the support of disinterested friendship, by prayer and sacramental grace, they can and should gradually and resolutely approach Christian perfection.

”Good friend”? When did this happen? :rotfl:
Ya know, I'm no fan of Musterion, not by a long shot but this is just yet more projecting fixation. He started a thread that was almost as stupid as this one but nobody regards the guy as homosexual for a brief temptation in a drunken night in college. He invited ridicule for his comments about what constitutes a homosexual after that admission but like you, he's not exactly blessed in the reasoning department. Unlike you, however, he's not in the closet.
