Has the teaching of your sect/denomination told you that G0D hates your very feelings? Have you already been shunned, disfellowshipped or excommunicated? Do you carry a spiritual burden inside -about who you find attractive on a physical level ...about who you love?
Having wrestled with the same thing for years, -I discovered that the Scriptures didn't say what I was told they said; -& that Yeshua (Jesus) knew a whole lot about being a man (having been tempted in EVERY way). He also knew lots about "religious experts" & he had the following to say about many of them:
"For they bind together hard to carry burdens & lay them on men's backs, but are not willing to lift a finger to help!" - Mt 23:4 GVP
"But a curse is on you: False teachers of the Law! Your discouraging teachings persuade men that they'll never enter Heaven -even those well on their way; -While actually, you yourselves are damned!" -Mt 23:13 GVP
False religious teachers SEEM to speak as educated authorities on subjects they distort. However, Jesus said that they didn't actually know the Scriptures well (just their traditions)! The problem becomes compounded when incompetent teachers MIStranslate Scripture. And this is what has happened!
Fortunately, the manuscripts & sound translation-principle can be used to uncover the fraud against the original texts. The astonishing fact is that the Scriptures have never condemned same-gender intimacy when you examine the manuscript. What is condemned are actions that harm & defraud others. Among such illegal acts are AnalSex, prostitution, pedastry, & all such acts that exploit or harm others. When the text forbids "man laying with mankind -as he lies with women", -you 1st need to establish what constituted "laying with women" -according to the manuscript! That prohibition literally forbids men penetrating men (& that's all it forbids). As it turns out, analSex spreads diseases explosively. Since "Love works no ill" ... well?
