I agree. Being attracted to someone doesn't automatically mean that you lust after them and desire sex with them.cyclOps wrote: ↑October 2nd, 2022, 10:38 pmTo me there is a distinction between your basic sexual attraction and then lusting after someone.spiritMan wrote: ↑October 2nd, 2022, 5:16 pmNo. I am married. God tells me what I am to do
"That whosoever looketh. on a woman to lust after her hath committed. adultery with her already in his heart"

"Longing desire; eagerness to possess or enjoy"
Sexual desire for any woman not my wife is ungodly.
What about this is so complicated?
Do I need to tell you that every time I pass a candy store, I have a lust to take candy?
No!
Did you stop being heterosexual when you got married? No. Does that mean you lust after other women? No. Therefore I don’t think someone who is homosexual automatically falls into the category of someone who lusts after others.
However, I think there's a danger in comparing heterosexual attraction and homosexual attraction. They aren't the same thing. Heterosexual attraction is natural and from God, when kept with in its proper bounds. Homosexual attraction is unnatural and not from God. Ultimately it needs to be completely overcome, not kept just kept in check.
