The Truth Will Set you Free - Homosexuality as bondage

May 25, 2009

Ok, I thought I’d say a few words.  In general it has been quite a while since I last posted a substantive post.  I have been through a lot of changes in that time.

I have come to believe that Jesus is the complete full way to freedom from the bondage that is homosexuality.  Those of us who deal with homosexuality are truly in bondage.  Homosexual feelings are present, even though we never asked for them, and they are also compulsive.  This compulsion is key to the bondage that I believe homosexuality to be.  Jesus came to bring us “freedom”.  He also says, “The truth will set you free”.  I choose to take Jesus at his word.

Ok, I’m sure I have arisen some thoughts of fundamentalism in some of my readers.  But, I ask you to lay those concerns aside.  I still recognise the need to resolve buried emotions, yet I have come to a place where I believe Jesus to have the keys to resolve this, better than anyone else.

No longer do I believe emotions to be neutral.  Some emtions are godly, and some are ungodly.  Some are based on truth and some are based on lies.  Some are good and some are bad.  Yet, I still believe we need to get connected to the emotions buried within us, whether good or bad, godly or ungodly.  In reconnecting our minds to our emotions, we can then shine the light of God’s “truth” on these emotions and allow his power to enable us to make new choices in response to the hurt and pain of our pasts.  We need to get in touch with the emotion, face the sinful reactions we had to the pain of our past, repent of this, make new choices and be empowered by God to walk in these new choices.

So, those are some thoughts that I have been thinking on recently.  I welcome any thoughts.  Leave a comment and I will be happy to answer your question.

Also, if you have any general questions I am happy to answer them also.  Once again, leave a comment.  Any ideas on what you’d like from this blog, just let me know.
