I’ve been following a discussion about a how three influential leaders of a ministry called “Exodus” - which was committed to helping Gay and Lesbain people “come out” of a homosexual lifestyle - have publically withdrawn from the work, stating that they no longer believe that it is healthy to try to change people’s sexual orientation… If you’re interested in reading further: go here
One of the common arguments amongst Christians who have accepted that Gay and Lesbian people really do have a different sexual orientation is the “Love the sinner, Hate the sin” position. (other’s take the position that there is no such thing as a homosexual orientation - otherwise you have to explain why God would have created people like that!)
But I’m wondering how I can separate “homosexual orientation” from “homosexual activity”? i mean, what is a sexual orientation if it’s not (at some point) going to be acted upon?
