A recent study commissioned by Oxford University proves that men engaging in sodomy by age 20 have just over a fifty percent chance of reaching age 65. While homosexual desire may feel very natural to some people, this does not mean it is inborn, positive or unchangeable. There is overwhelming evidence that homosexual desire arises from traumatic childhood experiences, such as sexual abuse or a troubled family environment. These desires can be overcome through counseling. A network of ex-homosexual organizations called Exodus has several hundred affiliates around the world.
Exodus helps strugglers through Christian support groups, prayer, and biblical teaching.
Some psychologists can help homosexuals overcome homosexual desire through individual counseling as well. Many ex-homosexuals go on to marry and have children. Therefore, a person can be a proud homosexual and a Christian, too. Scripture is very clear about homosexuality. There are dire warnings in the Bible about homosexual practices, both for individuals and for communities.
