Introduction
The Abduction of Morality
One of the most pervasive issues of our time is the topic of sexuality. Today sexual orientation is not only an issue it has became The Issue. Some GAY people however are reevaluating their preference for sexual orientation and have changed simply because they now realize that the root cause of their circumstance never was psycho-logical nor was it necessarily even bio-logical. But rather, they know now for them that their being GAY simply is not God-Logical. This book is neither anti-gay or is it pro-gay, but rather seeks a twofold audience whose mission first, is to help inform youth who are unsure (questioning) about their sexual orientation. Secondly, it is for people (gays) who genuinely yearn for God-centered intimacy, but confusion within their sexual identity ultimately has left them questioning. Finally, this book can help us to recognize loathing-dislike toward any persons lifestyle so that we can love one another, like Jesus commands us? According to Planned Parenthood, One thing is clear no one can choose or change their sexual orientation or anyone else's. (1) But changing ones sexual orientation indeed does occur when the ramification (conviction) of it being not God-Logical is genuine, whereby THIS do homosexuals change.

(2 Ti 3:1-7).
Today no influence on society has any greater capability to creep into houses and captivate our mind our body and soul quite like the Internet, social networking, music, movies or television. But like with any useful tool they can either be a positive or a negative influence in our daily lives. Either constructive or destructive! They certainly are WMDs Wisdom of Multiplied Dimensions. Please use them wisely? The power of suggestion is a persuasive social force that can take our heart in many directions sometimes where we did not want or even intend it to go. For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace because the carnal mind is enmity against God, for it is not subject to the Law of God, neither indeed can it be. So then they who are in the flesh cannot please God (Rom 8:6). There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. But the Law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death. For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh. God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh; so that the righteousness of the Law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. For they who are according to the flesh mind the things of flesh, but they who are according to the Spirit mind the things of the Spirit (Rom 8:1-5). It is for THIS reason alone We open eyes that are blind, free captives and release from the dungeon those who sit in darkness (Isaiah 42:7). Emphasis mine

comprehensive explanation which by Biblical definition says that homosexuality is not God-Logical. One may disagree with the authors position and yet still recognize the value: -- the real and practical importance to Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it (Pr 22:6).

One of the shows I like to watch is AMERICAS GOT TALENT. One day I was shocked beyond words, not by the participants as much as I was by one of the judges. A performance by a female impersonator made Judge, David Hasselhoff jokingly question his own sexuality. Even Sharon Osbourne (another Judge on the show) could not believe her eyes, and said: David Hasselhoffs sexuality switched to boys

Singers like Lady Gaga are normalizing the acceptance for a World GAY culture.
IN HER LYRICS:
No matter gay, straight or bi Lesbian, transgendered life I'm on the right track, baby I was born to survive HEY, I WAS BORN THIS WAY Believe it or not but lyrics like these are actually social Trend-setters. That little by little has become responsible for validating and approving new social standards. Peer Influence though seemingly innocent has serious sexual orientation power. That when predicated upon society is capable of re-formulating the moral ethos and ethics of traditional values, regardless of culture or religion? At one time social issues were seen as clearly being either Black or White. But today they are 50 shades of gray. Jesus said, Let your Yes be YES and your No be NO! Posted on one of the social networks, an actress makes light of her role in a Twitter post. "Never had so many people said they are jealous of me! All I can say is 'I kissed a girl and I liked it.'"

Experts say a variety of factors are at play which account for a sharp rise in homosexual attractiveness today, citing social reasons rather than strictly biological. In direct opposition to timeless Biblical principles, gay activists acted swiftly to prohibit under penalty of law such practices as "conversion or reparative therapies. Criticisms are that these type therapies have no medical indication and represent a severe threat to the health and human rights of the affected persons. In September of 2013, New Jersey Governor, Chris Christie signed into law barring licensed therapists from trying to turn gay teenagers straight, making New Jersey the second state to ban so-called conversion therapy, along with California. Christie believes people are born gay and that homosexuality is not a sin. Some legislators have gone so far as to describe the therapy as an insidious form of child abuse.

Sex is Gods own good idea for humanity. The foremost freedom that God gave to Adam and Eve in sex was that it was designed for procreation in marriage first with full privileges following. Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled; for fornicators and adulterers God will judge. Hebrews 13:4

Chapter Two
Man as made in the Image of GOD vs. Made in the Image of MAN
Before Sin MAN is Made in the Image of GOD.
Gen 1:28
FLESH is
OFF
FLESH is
ON
FLESH is
OFF
S O U L S O U L I S O N S O U LI IS SO ON N
SPIRIT is turned ON
S O U L S O U L I S O N S O U LI IS SO ON N
SPIRIT is turned OFF
S O U L S O U L I S O N S O U LI IS SO ON N
SPIRIT is turned BACK ON
Notice in all three models of MAN that the SOUL remains turned ON.
Before Adam fell into sin, Man walked in perfect union with God. They were created in the very Image of GOD and were commanded to exercise dominion over all of creation, the land, the air and the sea.
After Adam sinned, man no longer had intimate close fellowship with God. Moreover man is Once Removed from being made in the Image of GOD, and for various reasons can no longer fulfill his priorities and responsibilities of dominion.
Once man repents of sin and receives the Holy Spirit, man is TRANSFORMED by being Born Again into the Perfect Image of Christ and is restored to fulfill the GOD-INTENDED position of New Covenant dominion.
If Gen 5:3 says anything about the human condition, it really says that because of Sin man is made more in the Unlikeness of God, rather than in the Likeness of God, simply because GOD IS SPIRIT. Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remains in him and he cannot sin, because he is born of God (1Jn 3:9).
The eternal part of Man is SOUL whose Final Destination is determined by whether we yield to the LEADING of the SPIRIT or the ACTIONS of the FLESH. The ultimate FATE of our SOUL is decided by that Final Condition. By yielding either to the CONTROL of the SPIRIT or the CONTROL of the FLESH will determine whether or not our SOUL will spend eternity in Heaven or in Hell. Both forces cannot be in control simultaneously. For Spirit gives birth to spirit, but Flesh gives birth to flesh. One MUST fully yield its FREE WILL in submission to the LORD.
22
Once we reach a God-determined age of accountability and we have knowingly participated in Sin, then our FLESH SWITCH overrides our SPIRIT SWITCH. For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh! Gal 5:17 Once that happens we become just like Adam, spiritually dead. It is a commonly held belief that when young children and babies die prematurely, who obviously have not volitionally acted upon sin which have not yet reached the God-determined age of accountability, are thereby exempt. But once any person at the appropriate and determined age of accountability willfully participates in sin; then the full consequence of Sin would apply.

TRIUNE-MAN
is where the Word of God judges body, Soul and spirit according to the desires and thoughts of the heart. To those who have faithfully received Christ, their Soul and spirit are joined permanently and united with its incorruptible glorified Body. As ONE NEW MAN we become joint heirs with Christ to reign in Heaven and to rule with God forever in dominion, as the SONS OF GOD. Conversely, the eternal condition of
DAMNED
God judges body, Soul and spirit according to the desires and thoughts of the heart. But since the wages of sin is death, the condition of Soul and Flesh are judged and go straight to Hell, where they are separated from God - eternally damned forever. The
DAMNED
corruptible with its condemned flesh, soul and its dead spirit. Therefore let us put forward the things of God, and behind those things which are not. We cannot walk simultaneously in both directions at the same time? Our yielded SPIRIT is either following Christ upward to Heaven, or our FLESH (carnal desire) is pulling us down into Hell. Get ye therefore behind me, Satan! No one knows the day or hour. The angels in heaven don't know, and the Son himself doesn't know. Only the Father knows. When the Son of Man appears, things will be just as they were when Noah lived. People were eating, drinking, and getting married right up to the day that the flood came and Noah went into the big boat. They didn't know anything was happening until the flood came and swept them all away. That is how it will be when the Son of Man appears.
Jesus said: Two men will be in the field, but only ONE will be taken. The other will be left. Two women will be together grinding grain, but only ONE will be taken. The other will be left.
Matt 24:36-41 Emphasis mine
OF MAN. Or who by repentance and regeneration have been transformed into the IMAGE of the SON OF GOD? When Jesus comes He will gather unto Himself ONLY those who are transformed into the Image of God. For those are the SONS OF GOD who will go on to reign with God in dominion for eternity. But as many as received him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name. (Jn. 1:12). "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." Rom 10:13 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new (2 Cor.5:17). That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again (Jn.3:6,7). TRANSFORMATION IS LIKE THE BUTTERFLY STORY Here's a dangerous, crazy thought which comes from eminent biologist, Bernd Heinrich. As a Scientist, he's thinking about moths and butterflies, and how they radically change shape as they grow, from little wormy, caterpillar critters into spectacular airborne beauties. Bernd Heinrich says: "In effect, the animal is a chimera, an amalgam of two, where the first one lives and dies ... and then the other emerges. The adult forms of these insects (butterflies) are actually new organisms." What he's saying is, while a butterfly appears to be one animal, with a wormy start and a flying finish, is actually two animals two in one! We start with a baby caterpillar that lives a full life and then dies, dissolves. There's a pause. Then a new animal, the butterfly, springs to life from the same cells, called metamorphosis.

Chapter Three
Why Some People BECOME GAY
My principle aim in addressing gender confusion within male/female roles in todays society is not to write a book about homosexuals, per se. It is not! But rather, that by the grace of God, my aim is to render a book written personally To and For homosexuals. We have read throughout this book that the MAIN REASON why most gay people concede they are GAY is because they were born this way. If that were true to life then I guess it would apply to all gays RIGHT! Why then do some people when they are forty or fifty years old, who have never once in their life ever had any GAY feelings SUDDENLY DECIDE THEY ARE GAY? In that scenario Science would assert that these people are really latenthomosexuals, and that their TRUE SEXUAL NATURE did not emerge until much later in life. Perhaps??? Or is there possibly an overlooked missing key factor.

Frankly, what happened to my friend was that he became the innocent victim of a spiritual attack, which without warning quickly overpowered him. Many gays have never considered that there is a sweeping seductive nature attached to homosexuality. Like the charming dance of an uninvited stranger, this affable seductive lure captivates vulnerable minds and fills them with false sexual esteem (acceptance) which masquerade contrary to the nature of a loving God. And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light (2 Cor 11:14). I have met this Darkness personally. And will say that its seduction against mankind is both strategic and wicked. The strategy of this Darkness lay in wait for my friend which completely blindsided him. But before he could recognize the symptoms his mind suddenly became a Captive. Like the apostle Paul that was caught-up to Heaven, I too, have also had a vision of Heaven. When I was a child, God took me up to Heaven where I was permitted to gain specific insight into the End Time Darkness that is set against mankind (whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;). This Darkness is being poured-out full-strength into the lives of otherwise innocent people today, without them necessarily even being aware, through various forms of movies, Internet and social media.

This new action is opposite to the Three-fold curse and becomes our Threefold cure. It literally is strong medicine for whatever ails us. For if we know that we are sick then we will take our medicine, right? Jesus is also called the Divine Physician: The doctor is IN? No appointment necessary.
Chances are that if you are reading this Book there is a place inside your heart that agrees homosexuality is Not God-Logical.
If that is so, what can you do? HERE ARE FOUR SPIRITUAL LAWS THAT MAY BE HELPFUL.
Law One: God loves you and offers a wonderful plan for your life Law Two: Because of Sin humanity is separated from God. Law Three: Jesus Christ is God's only provision for Sin. Law Four: We must repent and receive Jesus Christ as our Savior and Lord.
For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost." Lk 19:10. Jesus Christ reminds us I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. Jn 10:10. Our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Eph 6:12. For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves. Col 1:13

This Chapter is in no way finished. Because the TOPIC of spiritual deliverance is vastly huge, it cannot be explained exhaustive in one chapter, but only introductory, for the Scriptures hold far more testimonies concerning it than we can consider in this writing. I will pause, however, to add one final thought. Concerning all of Gods people the Bible says: IF GOD BE FOR US, WHO CAN BE AGAINST US (Rom 8:31). Take delight in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Ps 37:4 However, if GOD Himself personally has something against us, whether it be sin of any kind, then we have offended God our creator and must turn from sin and change. By seeking God for our own desires independent of His perfect will for our lives can never please God. For In their hearts humans plan their course, but the LORD establishes their steps. Pr 16:9. "There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death." Proverbs 14:22
Chapter Four
Adam is a Male/Female Creation
This chapter soon will include the unnatural reverse order of male and female roles in sexual orientation which sometimes cross over into the other gender. Thereby producing undesirable sexual orientation. Perverted consequences that resulted after the Fall of Mankind.
And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. Gen 2:22 Many Bible scholars have translated the passages to indicate that God used Adams rib to create woman instead of making her from the dirt of the land, as He did for Adam. The question also arises as to why God created woman out of Adams rib as He did, when He apparently had formed male and female animals individually.

Himself looks to THAT DAY when we will eternally be with Him and become then "that which completes" Christ Himself. There is again that correlation between Adam and Eve, husband and wife, Christ and the Church, as we saw in the last Chapter in the book of Ephesians. Verse 23:

Chapter Five
I WAS BORN THIS WAY
Every human being is called to receive a gift of divine sonship, to become a child of God by grace. However, to receive this gift, we must reject sin, including homosexual behaviorthat is, acts intended to arouse or stimulate a sexual response regarding a person of the same sex. Even though many people today believe that they are born gay. The Old and New Testament teach that such acts are always violations of both divine and natural law. Homosexual desires, however, are not in themselves sinful. All people are subject to a wide variety of sinful desires over which they sometimes have little direct control. But that in and of itself sinful desire does not become sinful until a person acts upon them, either by acting out the desire or by encouraging the desire and deliberately engaging in fantasies about acting it out. But each one is tempted when he is carried away and enticed by his own lust. Then when lust has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and when sin is accomplished, it brings forth death. Do not be deceived, my beloved brethren (Jas 1:14-16).

Chapter Six
AND SUCH WERE SOME OF YOU
"But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and in the Spirit of our God." 1 Cor 6:11 This section of GOD AND YOU? is reserved for the many life-changing testimonials that come from both men and women who were once were living a gay, lesbian or otherwise homosexual lifestyle, but have changed. These men and women who changed from being GAY did so not because of Psychological reasons or even for Bio-logical reasons. But these people genuinely were sorry to God and changed their sexual orientation simply because for them being GAY is not God-Logical. Contrary to both scientific and secular opinion, changing ones sexual orientation indeed does occur when the ramification (conviction) of it being not God-Logical is genuine, whereby THIS do homosexuals change.
56
Christianity isnt about going from Gay to Straight. Its about turning from Sin to Jesus!
Testimonial Two: By Matt Moore I think that a lot of people dont really understand the central concept of Christianity, especially in the gay community. Before I became a believer, I heard about people who had claimed to be cured of their homosexuality by Jesus but then a couple years later denounced that statement and returned to the gay lifestyle; either saying that Christianity is all a lie or that God doesnt care if they are gay. And since becoming a believer, I have seen this more and more and more. The promise of the gospel is not to make you straight, but to make you holy and blameless before God; not by your own righteousness, but Christs. You can only really come to Jesus when you genuinely see your need for Him, not just pertaining to your homosexual desires, but because the core of your nature is sinful and evil and you do not have the ability to escape it. Heterosexual and homosexual people alike are sinners by nature and need the grace of God found in the Cross of Jesus Christ in order to be saved. Knowing Jesus is the centrality of Christianity, and by knowing Him you enter into eternal life through Him. You cant come to Jesus simply for sexual re-orientation, it doesnt work like that. Yes, you should acknowledge your sin and continually ask Him to heal your desires, but you shouldnt bank your faith on whether or not your sexual preference changes. You should bank your faith on the finished, redeeming work of Jesus Christ on the Cross; thats the only kind of faith that perseveres. Your problem goes much deeper than that of sexual nature. Your problem is that you are a sinner, down to your very core, regardless of sexual orientation. Your only hope is to desperately take hold of the Cross of the Son of God in order to escape the penalty you surely deserve. The penalty we all surely deserve. God can heal you, and you should believe that He will. But more importantly, remember this: God owes you absolutely nothing, and even if you go to your grave here in this temporary world still fighting homosexual desires, God is still good and magnificently merciful for not giving you what you really deserve eternal anguish and torture.

Chapter Seven
Ministering to a Homosexual
This chapter is in final revision and is yet unfinished. After you have read the chapters opening you will understand why writing this book requires personal God-strategy and wisdom. Thank you! TRULY IS OUR LOVE UNDER FIRE! Just as the US Supreme Court, in 2014, is on the verge of issuing decisions that could see significant gay rights advances in America, a Florida-based organization that worked to help people repress same-sex attraction is calling it quits. The group had come under fire in recent years, with gay rights advocates, psychiatrists, and psychologists all rejecting the notion particularly popular among Christian evangelicals and fundamentalists -- that homosexuals could be converted. Opposing groups claim conversion therapy actually increases patients risk of suicide and can worsen a host of psychological conditions like anxiety and depression, the American Psychological Association has found.

Recently the U.S. House of Representatives has approved a federal hate crimes bill that would provide special protections to homosexuals but leave Christian ministers open to prosecution should their teachings be linked to any subsequent offense, by anyone, against a gay. Their objective is to lay the legal foundation and framework to investigate, prosecute and persecute pastors, youth pastors, Bible teachers, and anyone else whose Bible speech and thought is based upon and reflects the truths found in the Bible. This represents a thinly veiled effort to ultimately silence under penalty of law morally, medically and biblically based opposition to the homosexual lifestyle. Moreover Even if a homosexual merely claims he was subjectively placed in apprehension of bodily injury by a Christians words then, again, the Christian can be thrown in prison for a felony hate crime, he said.

THIS CHAPTER as is the rest of this book IS STILL IN PROGRESS
One Partner
In 2004, to better prevent the spread of HIV and AIDS in Africa, India and Asia we introduced ONE PARTNER. Our aim was to help men and women understand that marriage is a sacred bond of trust between one man and one woman; which is a Covenant relationship of life-long fidelity and love. ONE PARTNER utilizes both cultural and traditional values and serves as a double-edge sword to help men realize that sexual freedom, based on traditional upbringing and cultural values have allowed AIDS to foster and grow. The clearest evidence that monogamy is Gods ideal for mankind comes directly from Christs teaching on marriage in Matthew 19. In this passage, He cited the Genesis creation account, in particular Genesis 1:27 and 2:24, saying the two will become one flesh. TODAY ONE PARTNER act as a mechanism for holistic sexual orientation, which states: in the beginning God made them Male and Female, and that sex is thereby reserved for marriage, and is between one man and one woman.
