    This seems impossible for homosexuals. At best, homosexuals may abstain but history is replete with evidence that people don't change their orientations. Reparative therapy is ineffective, dangerous and not supported by the medical establishment. As far as the "choice" argument goes, who chooses homosexuality? Whats the benefit? Why would anyone choose exactly?

    Since thinking of sin (matt 5:28) is the same as doing it and since people can't control their thoughts how can anyone do this?

    You might find examples of homosexuals who stop having same sex relations and even marry women (after all, homosexuals have been marrying women & having kids since the dawn of time - only recently, like last 25-35 years have gays been co-habitating openly) - but that doesn't make them straight.

    As for the passage church members in Corinth who turned away from their sins, who where they? There are no by-name accounts of homosexuals being "cured" in the bible.

    Why does the bible condemn the effeminate? I've never met an effeminate man who "converted" from a macho-man by choice. They all seem to "come from the factory" this way. No gay person I have ever met says they choose it over straighthood. Not even a single one. I have met a few guys who claim to have been cured - those guys are broken. Really broken.

    As a gay man I can accept that scripture might require me to abstain from the relations I feel are normal for me. This is not an attitude typical among my brethren (read as: other gays). I cannot accept - for even a moment, that we choose our condition.

    Consider AA. AA works for addicts who want to recover as much as possible back to their pre-addicted selves. People might have addiction pre-dispositions but people are not born into an addicted state.

    The reason "reparative" therapies have been so widely disproven suggests to me that nothing was broken and infect, participants become broken when attempting it.

    Please proceed to light your torches now lol...
