Why doesn't anyone question how God can say this:
Lev 20:13 "If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman,
both of them have committed an abomination: they shall SURELY be put to death; their blood shall be upon them."
... and then not try to understand the 'why'?
"My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge." Hosea 4:6
Homosexuality has spiritual roots....
1.) Rejection of God as 'Creator' *see Romans 1: 18-28 (note it is a curse, scripture added below)
2.) A root of 'Rejection'
For those that feel they were 'born this way'... the real explaination is that they were born with the curse passed onto them by the sins of their forefathers...
Numbers 14:18 'The Lord is slow to anger and abundant in lovingkindness, forgiving iniquity and transgression; but He will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and the fourth generations.'
God made us wonderful... it's satan and sin that's to blame...James 1:17 "Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow."
... knowing the 'WHY'... can set people's feet on the path to freedom... YES.... say goodbye to homosexuality altogether!
Unbelief and Its Consequences
Romans 1:18-32 "For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because that which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse. For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for an image in the form of corruptible man and of birds and four-footed animals and crawling creatures.
Therefore God gave them over in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, so that their bodies would be dishonored among them. For they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural, and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error.
And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do those things which are not proper, being filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, greed, evil; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malice; they are gossips, slanderers, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, without understanding, untrustworthy, unloving, unmerciful; and although they know the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, they not only do the same, but also give hearty approval to those who practice them."

'Deliverance' is a real ministry of Jesus that hasn't 'passed away'... the Word in fact includes it as a sign of how we will know true believers...Mark 16:17, "And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils..."
Repentance on behalf of the Ancestors + repentance regarding anything done in tandem + Deliverance = FREEDOM
Deliverance is a crucial last step... it will NOT successfully take place until the curse is broken first.
Shut the door of access and THEN kick out the invaders.
-Prayers-
Prayer of Repentance:
"Father, I know that I have broken your laws and my sins have separated me from you. I am truly sorry. I turn away from my past sinful life and cling to YOU. Please forgive me, and help me. I believe that your son, Jesus Christ died for my sins, was resurrected from the dead, is alive, and hears my prayer. I invite Jesus to become the Lord of my life, to rule and reign in my heart from this day forward. Please send your Holy Spirit to help me obey You, and to do Your will for the rest of my life. Thank You for forgiving me, and I also forgive MYSELF. I am ready for the wonderful destiny You have for me.....In Jesus' name I pray, Amen."
