But each of us alone is responsible for giving ourselves permission to cross over from temptation into sin. A. Unasked-for, uncultivated sexual desires for a person of the same sex constitute temptation, not sin. But He never gave in to them. The line between sexual temptation and sexual sin is the same for both heterosexuals and homosexuals. It is the point at which our conscious will gets involved.
Sin begins with the internal acts of lusting and creating sexual fantasies.
Sexual fantasies are conscious acts of the imagination. It is creating mental pornographic home movies. Just as the Lord said in the Sermon on the Mount, all sexual sin starts in the mind long before it gets to the point of physical expression. There is a difference between having sexual feelings and letting them grow into lust. It takes spiritual submission and emotional work to repent of sexual sin and to seek a healthy self-concept that glorifies God.
