Two clarification questions:
1. Are you saying that the struggle is with the temptation to have sex? Do you only equate homosexuality to who you have sex with as opposed to who you have the capacity to love?
2. Did God make people (some people ) gay just so that they could overcome being gay with God's help?
that was three questions, sorry
1. Does this really need clarification? One
love you feel for your grandma or a friend, another
love (more appropriately lust) you feel for someone you think is hot (He's/She's so hot!). It's hard to describe, but I think everyone's pretty clear on it. I believe love and lust are different though often confused. I can love my same sex friend, for example, without any sexuality entering the picture. The Bible tells us that sin enters anytime we commit adultery (Jesus also said that lust is equal to adultery). Adultery is defined as sex outside of a God-intended union between one man and one woman. So, sex is
only for marriage between one man and one woman. So, whether Collins is having gay sex or only wishing he was having gay sex, he's sinning. But I bet he loves his twin brother and that's OK. Collins struggles with the lust for men and potentially acting on it, not loving his brother.
2. The Bible says that God is only good and that he does not tempt us. We are tempted by Satan and by desires of our flesh. So God would not create something that was
bad. When he created the universe and all that was in it(including a man and woman to be joined together), he proclaimed it all, "Good." It was only of our doing and Satan's that we
fell and sin was created. So, no.
