   Homosexuality 

                 Men it is time time to break free from your bondage!

 

  Where does homosexuality come from?

Can men overcome it?  Will G-D help men in

 these intense struggles?  Does the Bible speak of 

homosexuality?  In answering these questions, we 

must look at what the Bible says about human

sexuality and what it says about men.

Timemag   One does not have to look too far to see that homosexuality is everywhere .  It is on television , in books , in music and even on the street. It touches many of the people we cross paths with  in the course of a day.    Homosexuality is not something that will just go away.  It has been with us since humans fell in the garden of Eden.   Here is a recent front page article from Time magazine about teenage homosexuality.  It is not uncommon to see anymore.
    How are men to combat this lifestyle?   Homosexual society would have you believe that all is well and that every man that is involved in this lifestyle is in a state of utter fulfullment and happiness.  To coin a term that is used world-wide ,they say they are "GAY

 

 

 

 


  

gaymanThis term is the furthest thing that is in the life of your average "gay"man.  Struggle, hardship and depression are a way of life to the man caught in the evil snare of homosexuality.   Our culture is seeing the proportions of  how widespread homosexuality actually is. 
   Homosexuality has been around from the time sin entered the human race.
 spartaThe Spartan and Greek societies are two recent examples in human history.        
  gaymarriage In dealing with homosexuality we must first come to a consensus as to whether it is normal behavior for men to engage in , or whether it is abnormal behavior and against the laws of G-D and nature.

   Society is making homosexuality palatable to the general public, making magazines (see left),
and other "necessities", geared toward the homosexual lifestyle, causing it to be a part of everyday life.  As a result, many start seeing this lifestyle as a viable alternative to the G-D ordained male and female relationships.




 

 


Look at these magazines on the market; they appeal to the natural inclination for men to be interested into their masculinity, but they pevert it , making them a slave to a passion that comes not from G-D.

     Our society is embracing this lifestyle with open arms , we are submitting to the rehetoric. We must allow these men to have "equal rights"and let them tell us what is moral and right.

    Men are looking at these magazines and believing that they "must"
be totally muscular and wealthy to be a "validated" man in society. This is obviously a play on the carnal flesh that every man possesses. HaSatan causes lust and envy of the other man's "assets" to become an obsession.  Now-a-days, this obsession is being seen at "liberation" and men coming to terms with their "true" needs.  G-D's view is most different.

                 Let us swing the pendulum to another culture; one without love or compassion.
                                         The following picture and article is graphic:

  
"Members of Iran’s parliament from the north-eastern city of Mashad, where a minor and an 18-year-old man were publicly hanged yesterday, vented their anger on Wednesday on foreign and domestic news outlets for reporting the ages of hanged prisoners...Ultra-conservative deputy Ali Asgari said that the two deserved to be hanged in public, adding, 'Whatever sentence is decreed by an Islamic penal system must be approved, unless proven otherwise.' Asgari complained of foreign and domestic reporting that the two were mere boys. 'Instead of paying tribute to the action of the judiciary, the media are mentioning the age of the hanged criminals and creating a commotion that harms the interests of the state,' the member of the Majlis Legal Affairs Committee said. 'Even if certain websites made a reference to their age, journalists should not pursue this. These individuals were corrupt. Their sentence was carried out with the approval of the judiciary and it served them right.' "boyskilled

Consensual gay sex in any form is punishable by death in the Islamic Republic of Iran. According to the website Age of Consent, which monitors such laws around the world, in Iran "Homosexuality is illegal, those charged with love-making are given a choice of four deathstyles: being hanged, stoned, halved by a sword, or dropped from the highest perch. According to Article 152, if two men not related by blood are discovered naked under one cover without good reason, both will be punished at a judge's discretion. According to Article 156, a person who repents and confesses his gay behavior prior to his identification by four witnesses, may be pardoned. Even kissing 'with lust' (Article 155) is forbidden. This bizarre law works to eliminate old Persian male-bonding customs, including common kissing and holding hands in public." And Outrage, in its release about the gay teens' execution, noted that, "according to Iranian human rights campaigners, over 4000 lesbians and gay men have been executed since the Ayatollahs seized power in 1979. Last August, a 16-year-old girl , [Atefeh Rajabi] was hanged [in the Caspian port of Neka] for 'acts incompatible with chastity,' [i.e., sex before marriage]."

In the case of the two teens hanged in Mashhad, "They admitted having gay sex (probably under torture) but claimed in their defense that most young boys had sex with each other and tdhat they were not aware that homosexuality was punishable by death," according to the ISNA report as translated by OutRage. "Prior to their execution, the gay teenagers were held in prison for 14 months and severely beaten with 228 lashes. The length of their detention suggests that they committed the so-called offenses more than a year earlier, when they were possibly around the age of 16."
   
      Now this article proves a point.  Men need help in this world.  I pray that the young men made their cries known to the real G-D of Avraham who gave His only Son Yeshua to die for their sins. Men need Yeshua. 
     It stated  in the article that the Iranian authorities want to do away with  the Persian male-bonding rituals of men kissing and holding hands.  This is a ploy of Satan to ensnare the men of Iran into the depths of homosexuality.  Men are made to have close intimate relationships with each other but not to have sex with one another, this is an abomination.  We will now delve into this subject and see why G-D thinks as He does on homosexual activity ; and we will learn why G-D has spoken of homosexuality in the terms we see in scripture.
     Jewishbar

One of the first mentions in the Torah of  homosexual activity is in the book of B'resheet (Genesis) , dealing with Lot and S'dom and "Amora (Sodom and Gomorrah).
    B'resheet (Genesis) 19:1-11
                1 The two angels came to S'dom that evening, when Lot was sitting at the gate of S'dom.  Lot saw them, got up to greet them and prostrated himself on the ground. 
               2  He said, "Here now, my lords, please come over to your servant's house.  Spend the night, wash your feet, get up early, and go on your way."  "No, " they answered. "we'll stay in the square."
               3  But he kept pressing them; so they went home with him; and he made them a meal, baking matzah for their supper, which they ate.
               4  But before they could go to bed, the men of the city surrounded the house--young and old, everyone from every neighborhood of S'dom. 
              5  They called Lot and said to Him, "Where are the men who came to stay with you tonight? Bring them out to us! We want to have sex with them!"

Israel Falls for Gay Military Romance

by David Finnigan, Contributing Writer

"Yossi & Jagger" is partly a gay love story about two Israeli officers on the Lebanese border. But the 71-minute film’s only love scene comes early in a larger, far less romantic story about the contradictions of modern Israel.

"Yossi & Jagger" has touched Israelis who long for peace and the coffeehouse chats about art and life that peace brings, an Israel yearning for the good food of Tel Aviv cafes instead of what is called "food" in Golan Heights bunkers.

"Israeli wars are supposed to be very clear. The truth is we don’t feel like that anymore," said "Yossi & Jagger" director Eytan Fox, in a telephone interview with The Journal from his Tel Aviv home.

"Everything feels hard, harsh, hopeless in many ways. You talk to many soldiers in Israel, you hear the confusion. A lot of these questions you don’t have in ‘Saving Private Ryan.’ People would not buy that film [now] because it wouldn’t ring right with anybody."

But Israelis have been flocking to "Yossi & Jagger" in Tel Aviv and Haifa, and smaller cities like Beersheba and Rehovot.

"Of course it did much better in Tel Aviv. We didn’t do so well in Jerusalem," said Avner Bernheimer, the film’s screenwriter.

Films with military themes had once dominated the small Israeli movie industry. But recently, in the ’90s, as peace seemed imminent, moviemakers focused on other themes. With the return of the intifada and the violence of the new millennium, films like "Yossi and Jagger," and the recent "Time of Favor" and "The Holy Land" reflect the industry's return to its roots — albeit in a more mature, nuanced view. Yossi

The film has earned critics’ praise and top ratings when it aired on Israel’s cable Channel 3, and is now opening in U.S. theaters.

The movie’s namesake, "Yossi," is an officer leading a small group of bunker-based soldiers on the Israeli-Lebanese border in the late 1990s. "Jagger" refers to Yossi’s younger officer and lover, whose rock-star-like charm prompted his nickname. The pair’s relationship is discreet; they make love while on patrol.

"It’s based loosely on a true story that I heard from a friend of mine," Bernheimer said. "He had a boyfriend there in the same unit."

One reaction that Israelis have shared after seeing the movie is how some parents do not really know their children, including their grown gay offspring.

"This is the real message of the movie: ‘Don’t hold your secrets,’" Bernheimer said. "I live in Tel Aviv and I might go have breakfast in a coffee shop, and I might not come back. Life is really, really fragile here. The reason the movie touched so many people is because life is fragile and you have to be who you are, no matter what it is."

The filmmakers added two women to the bunker story to spice up the sexual politics and make a broader portrayal of young, sometimes confused soldiers serving in what is considered the world’s most agile army.

"We wanted girls because we wanted more tension in the bunker at a certain point," Bernheimer said. "We wanted one girl who was in love with Jagger. You see girls like that in the army because it’s such a macho environment."

One scene in the short film lingers as Fox’s hand-held camera captures one of the women and many of the male soldiers dancing, almost trance-like, to Euro-technopop. Fox said he framed the dance scene in long, slower shots to portray soldiers dancing while briefly off duty because they are "full of anxiety, full of fear," and knew that hours later they would be on what would become fatal ambush duty. "You’re 18 and you still know very little about life," said the 39-year-old New York-born filmmaker, who lives with his longtime gay companion and one of the film’s producers, Gal Uchovzski.

Fox’s well-paced directing style finds his hand-held video camera mimicking the claustrophobic, tight spaces found in the Golan Heights kibbutz bunker where "Yossi & Jagger" was shot. Not every frame is a tight close-up, but Fox clearly shows the submarine-like confinement the bunker gives to the two gay lovers and the enlisted men under them. Fox then contrasts this tight filmmaking style with more open, outdoor shots displaying panoramic views of snow-capped mountains. "It’s easier to use very limited lighting and a small video camera [in the bunker]," Fox said, adding that once he, his camera, his actors and Bernheimer’s screenplay were outside, "your spirit can let go and be freer and therefore the frame can open, it’s not as claustrophobic, it’s not as closed."

Away from screenwriting, Bernheimer is a senior writer and editor at Israel’s daily Yedioth Aharonot. (Uchovzski is a writer and editor at Ma’ariv and fellow "Yossi" producer Amir Jarel is the jazz critic at Ha’aretz.) From 1998 to 2001, Bernheimer was his newspaper’s Los Angeles-based West Coast correspondent, living near Laurel Canyon and studying screenwriting at UCLA while his partner studied architecture there.

Among his observations of Jewish Los Angeles, Bernheimer said, "the Orthodox Jews in America are much more open and much more progressive than the Orthodox Jews in Israel." He is now writing a screenplay about the relationships between American Jews and Israelis while living in Los Angeles. Fox’s next film, "Walking on Water," is a German-Israeli romance.

Bernheimer was in air traffic control during his military service, while Fox was in a combined military/civil service program during his four-year army stint. Both are gay Tel Aviv men with political views to the left of the Labor Party, and Tel Aviv is referenced once in the film; Fox said he wanted it to show that city as Israel’s New York — a dreamy, young place where people can go and reinvent themselves, and also as a city symbolic of "the tension between the two Israels": the hoped-for civilian life and the military realities.

The Israeli Defense Forces did not cooperate with the filmmakers because, while the army officially is tolerant of gay soldiers, Bernheimer said he was told that the Yossi/Jagger romance was between officers of different ranks, and thus not an acceptable image. But the film, which also shows an adulterous liaison between a married colonel and one of the enlisted women, has become a favorite of soldiers on their days off.

"The movie became this huge success, also with soldiers," Bernheimer said. "In a way, we won the battle with the army because the soldiers came to see the movie, and whole units came to see the movie."

The film has not caused a stir among Israel’s vocal Orthodox communities. "Surprisingly there was not a reaction at all," Bernheimer said. "We didn’t hear anything, even from their politicians. I always say that in Israel, we have more important things to deal with than hating gays."

What has grabbed Israeli filmgoers, Fox said, is the film’s clear, somewhat depressing portrait of life in a bunker, different than military duty in Gaza and on the West Bank because one was fighting a Lebanese enemy that one could not see.

"The Lebanese experience was even more surreal because it was like a Vietnam," Fox said. "People were sitting in their remote bunkers, not really understanding who the enemy was."

"People reacted to that," said Bernheimer, of the film’s bunker theme. "It doesn’t come out like a gay film or a ghetto film. It’s not a gay movie. It’s really Israeli society in one bunker, the whole Israeli society in one bunker."

   But the question is,what is homosexuality and what is not?

    Even the United States has it's movies such as Brokeback Mountain.
 brokebackmountain These films are working on men's deep desire for male affirmation and touching them to the core of their emotions.  G-D and only G-D can meet a man's intense need for masculinity. He made us, and He can fulfill us.    The thing that we as men need to see, is that we can have close physical touch without sinning. Western  society has kept men away from each other but the need for another male touch still exists.   I am going to burst a lot of "holy" bubbles with what I am about to say.  It has never been and never will be a sin for a man to be attracted to another man.  Let me say it again. IT HAS NEVER BEEN AND NEVER WILL BE A SIN FOR A MAN TO BE ATTRACTED TO ANOTHER MAN (not attracted sexually). Is the attraction for sex or for experiencing the other man?  His loves, his goals, his aspirations.  Are we not on earth to experience G-D in our innermost being?  We are multi-faceted beings. We are made to intertwine our emotions, our life's goals and our love.  Men can enjoy the good and right feelings of male touch.   Society tells men that if they want closeness they are gay, if they want held by another man they are gay, that if they want to experience a man more deeply than mere handshakes then they are gay.  This is lies from Satan and not from G-D.  Now I am not telling any man to see this movie, that is between you and G-D, but it did leave an impression upon me and I know that many men seeing this movie are truly seeking a right relationship with other men , but just do not know how to go about it.                 brokeback

      

     advocate  Can a man intensely love another man without sin?  Yes, yes , and a resounding yes!  It is time that as men we love others with passion and commitment.  A man loving another man and not ashamed to tell it is a beautiful thing. (Jonathan and David) ONLY SEXUAL INTERCOURSE (COITUS) BETWEEN MEN IS SIN.  Two men loving , hugging, even in some instances kissing (men in the middle east kiss ), is not evil.  It is even in the Bible. 

        bbmoun G-D wants us as men to love our wives with passion .  He wants us to love our close male friends with passion.  He wants us to love Him with passion.  The movie truly captured the true passion a man can feel for another man.  This should not lead to sin , but does many times because men do not know their place with each other or with G-D. 

         Movies like this make it seem that men cannot just be friends.  This is foolishness and not what is biblical.

         We must see that G-D wants us to have intense male to male relations that helps us sharpen one another.  Let us strive to cultivate true male relationships that G-D is pleased with .   

    Men cultivate close male friendships , but do it in the G-D prescribed fashion.  Every man knows how to work out his own salvation with fear and trembling before the L-RD G-D.

     Men, enjoy each other in G-D.  Love your brothers as yourself.  G-D puts Jonathans and Davids in our lives to enrich our walk with Him.  Do not, because of society and preconceived ideas, deny yourself or your male friend the true, intimate male-bonding that can take place with intense love and commitment to each other. I will leave it at that. Every man knows how to work out his own salvation with fear and trembling before the L-RD.  You be the judge of your own actions. We have turned those beautiful and right things that can occur between two men into sin, thus forcing them to enter into a sexual relationship.  G-D is our judge.  May you love your male friend with all your heart , soul and mind, for as you love him so you love G-D. As you relate to others , so you relate to G-D.  May He give us grace and strength and encouragement to have deep-lasting relationships between our own sex.  

                         

Sexual Confusion and the End of Friendship



  Nominations for the 63rd annual Golden Globe Awards were announced Tuesday, and the movie identified as a "cowboy romance" has taken the lead with seven nominations. Brokeback Mountain, starring Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal as two cowboys linked in a homosexual romance, has been nominated for Best Motion Picture Drama, Best Actor in a Drama, Best Director, Best Supporting Actress, Best Screenplay, Best Score and Best Song. Already, critics are predicting that Brokeback Mountain is the leading candidate to be chosen as Best Picture at the upcoming Academy Awards ceremony.

Directed by Ang Lee, Brokeback Mountain is based on a short story of the same title by author Annie Proulx. The story is quite graphic, depicting an unexpected homosexual romance between two cowboys who find themselves alone in a tent. As the story unfolds, the homosexual relationship is continued even as the two men get married and establish families. The story--and the movie--includes explicit sex and depicts the hurt and turmoil experienced by the families of these two men as they periodically take what are described as "fishing trips in which there is no fishing." Nevertheless, the movie presents the homosexual romance as a relationship to be admired--insinuating that if our society could be freed of its hang-ups about homosexuality, these two could have gone on to live together happily ever after.

The movie opened in only three cities across the nation, and it is not expected to be a big winner at the box office. But as an indicator of where Hollywood thinks the culture should be headed, Brokeback Mountain is one of the most celebrated movies among Hollywood critics, the media, and the cultural elites.

In one sense, the real significance of Brokeback Mountain doesn't have anything to do with cinematography. Instead, it has everything to do with our culture and the breakdown of sexual order. Brokeback Mountain represents something new in mainstream America--a celebration of homosexual romance on the big screen. The very fact that this movie stars two relatively well established young actors and has drawn the fawning attention of Hollywood critics indicates that something very serious is afoot. It really will not matter that most Americans are not likely to see this film. Now that this cultural barrier has been broken down, depictions of similar relationships and romances are sure to filter down into popular entertainment--and quickly.

Anthony Esolen, Professor of English at Providence College in Providence, Rhode Island, warns that this breakdown of the natural sexual order has led to the death of friendship--particularly to the death of male friendships.

In "A Requiem for Friendship: Why Boys Will Not Be Boys and Other Consequences of the Sexual Revolution," published in the September 2005 issue of Touchstone magazine, Esolen begins by reminding readers of a scene from J. R. R. Tolkien's great work, The Lord of the Rings. Sam Gamgee, having followed his master Frodo into Mordor, the realm of death, finds him in a small filthy cell lying half-conscious. "Frodo! Mr. Frodo, my dear!" Sam cries. "It's Sam, I've come!" Frodo embraces his friend and Sam eventually cradles Frodo's head. As Esolen suggests, a reader or viewer of this scene is likely to jump to a rather perverse conclusion: "What, are they gay?"

Esolen suggests that this question is an "ignorant but inevitable response" to the context. He goes on to recall that Shakespeare and many other great authors spoke of non-sexual love between men in strongest terms. Similarly, when David is told of the death of his friend Jonathan, he cries: "Your love to me was finer than the love of women."

As Esolen understands, the corruption of language has contributed to this confusion. When words like love, friend, male, female, and partner are transformed in a new sexual context, what was once understood to be pure and undefiled is now subject to sniggering and disrespect.

Esolen insists that this linguistic shift was no accident. He accuses "pansexualists" of corrupting the language in order to normalize sexual confusion and anarchy. They have used language "as a tool for establishing their own order and imposing it on everyone else," he argues.

As Esolen explains, "The pansexualists--they who believe in the libertarian dogma that what two consenting adults do with their privates in private is nobody's business--understand that the language had to be changed to assist the realization of their dream, and also that the realization of their dream would change the world, because it would change the language for everyone else."

What does all this have to do with the release of Brokeback Mountain? "Open homosexuality, loudly and defiantly celebrated, changes the language for everyone," Esolen insists. "If a man throws his arm around another man's waist, it is now a sign--whether he is on the political right or the left, whether he believes in biblical proscriptions of homosexuality or not." Esolen offers a blunt and haunting assessment: "If a man cradles the head of his weeping friend, the shadow of suspicion must cross your mind."

One of the words and realities most clearly corrupted for the sake of sexual anarchy is friendship--and male friendship in particular. "For modern American men, friendship is no longer forged in the heat of battle, or in the dust of the plains as they drive their herds across half a continent, or in the choking air of a coalmine, or even in the cigar smoke of a debating club," Esolen notes. Most men no longer find themselves in situations that encourage and inculcate straightforward male friendships. As Esolen observes, "the sexual revolution has also nearly killed male friendship as devoted to anything beyond drinking and watching sports; and the homosexual movement, a logically inevitable result of forty years of heterosexual promiscuity and feminist folly, bids fair to finish it off and nail the coffin shut."

What this means for grown men is bad enough, but Esolen is persuasive when he argues that the most vulnerable victims of friendship's demise are boys. "The prominence of male homosexuality changes the language for teenage boys. It is absurd and cruel to say that the boy can ignore it. Even if he would, his classmates will not let him. All boys need to prove that they are not failures. They need to prove that they are on the way to becoming men--that they are not going to relapse into the need to be protected by, and therefore identified with, their mothers." So? Esolen argues that boys, deprived of normal recognitions of masculinity and safe friendships with other boys and men, often turn to aggressive sexual promiscuity with girls in order to prove that they are not homosexual. Boys who refuse to play this game are tagged as homosexuals.

Esolen is on to something of incredible importance here. He reminds us all that boys need the uncomplicated camaraderie of other boys in order to negotiate their own path to manhood. The friendships shared among boys and young men allowed them to come together around common interests and activities and to channel their natural curiosity and energy into participation in shared activities. As young males band together, Esolen acknowledges that they "might do a thousand things fascinatingly creative and dangerously destructive." This is where adults must step in to guide these energies in positive directions and to erect boundaries to prevent or discourage bad behavior. In any event, these boys would not, as Esolen argues many boys do now, stagnate. "They would be alive," he asserts.

All this requires an uncomplicated heterosexual expectation. Esolen points to the fact that Abraham Lincoln, as a young man, had often shared a bed with his friend Joshua Speed. The two shared letters that spoke of their appreciation and love for each other. Modern readers have jumped to the conclusion that Lincoln must have been a homosexual. Esolen rightly argues that this "evidence" proves exactly the opposite. Lincoln and Speed were free to share a bed together, and to speak of their deep friendship, precisely because they did not fear any revelation of this fact or of their relationship to the public. Why? Because the nearly universal understanding of all homosexual behavior as immoral and deviant created a context in which no one would have had the expectation that Lincoln would be involved in homosexuality. As Esolen explains, "The stigma against sodomy cleared away ample space for an emotionally powerful friendship that did not involve sexual intercourse, exactly as the stigma against incest allows for the physical and emotional freedom of a family."

In a truly haunting section of his essay, Esolen asked us to imagine a society in which the taboo against incest has been removed. Under such circumstances, no uncle would be free to hug his young niece without an accusation of sexual interest. Relationships between parents and children, brothers and sisters, and relatives of all varieties would be corrupted and undermined by the imposition of sexual suspicion.

As Esolen understands, this is exactly what is happening as homosexuality is normalized in the culture. Normal, non-sexual, fraternal friendships among men now come under suspicion. This is especially true for teenage boys and young men, who are less secure about their manhood and more concerned about their own--and their peers'--sexual identity.

The normalization of homosexuality destroys the natural order of friendships among men. "Think about that friendship, the next time you see the perpetual adolescents and feather boas as they march down Main Street, making their sexual proclivities known to everybody whether everybody cares or not," Esolen instructs. "With every chanted slogan and every blaring sign, they crowd out the words of friendship, they appropriate the healthy gestures of love between man and man. Confess--has it not left you uneasy even to read the words of that last sentence?"

Of course, we are told that those who hold such concerns are simply providing evidence of their innate homophobia and repressive sexual hang-ups. The critics will celebrate Brokeback Mountain, and we can now expect a flood of similar themes, stories, and depictions. Society at large is corrupted by the normalization of homosexuality and the bonds of normal male friendships are weakened, if not destroyed. Remember all this as Hollywood prepares to celebrate its latest cultural "achievement."

                                against all the godlessness and wickedness of
                                people who in their wickedness keep suppressing
                                the truth;  19 because what is know about G-D is

divine nature--have been clearly seen, because they
can be understood from what He has made.  Therefore,
they have no excuse;  21 because, although they know
who G-D is , they do not glorify Him as G-D or thank
Him.  On the contrary, they have become futile in their
thinking; and their undiscerning hearts have become
darkened.  22 Claiming to be wise, they have become
fools!  23 In fact, they have exchanged the glory of the
immortal G-D for mere images, like a mortal human
being, or like birds, animals or reptiles! 
24 This is why G-d has given them up to the vileness of
their hearts' lusts, to the shameful misuse of each
other's bodies.  25 They have exchanged the truth of
G-D for falsehood, by worshipping and serving created
things, rather than the Creator--praised be He for ever.
Amen. 26 This is why G-D has given them up to degrad-
ing passions; so that their women exchange natural
sexual relations for unatural;  27 and likewise the men,
giving up natural relations with the opposite sex, burn
with passion for one another, men committing shameful
acts with other men and receiving in their own persons
the penalty appropriate to their perversion
.

Now G-D does not hate men caught in this trap of homosexuality; but He has provided a way out!  This is a lifestyle that permeates every facet of the man's life.  Now the problem in coming out of this lifestyle is that the sexual pleasures can become very addictive.  Pleasure is pleasure, and when connected to the wrong source, our bodies create a habit (craving) for that fleshly fulfillment.  mancrying Satan then causes men to believe that the only way they will ever enjoy fulfillment and pleasure is by remaining homosexual, this only slowly destroys the man and his personality.  G-D has other plans!   We as men can enjoy intimate, healthy relationships with each other as men of G-D.  We can be close and intimate with other men without sinning.  We can have wives and be sexual only with them as G-D has intended.  There is a way out of the Tunnel of homosexuality!   Yeshua has made a way!
        Men, sexual desire is good, and without evil.  G-D made men with the capacity to enjoy intense sexual pleasures.  These pleasures are to be fulfilled in the G-D prescribed fashion.  Yes intense pleasure can come from evil sources. Just because it "feels" right and good does not make it right and good. Scripture says that there is pleasure in sin for a season and then comes judgement. 
       G-D wants to mold us men into His image and likeness.  We are to be reflections of His love, grace and passion. hands  We have a loving and very passionate Father who loves us. Allow Him to mold your personality and desires into those things that are pleasing to Him.
    


  malebondingGuys, we can have intimate relationships with other men, in the context of G-D.  We do need other men in our lives.  We must be cognizant of the fact that G-D knows this and has provided for us.  Jonathan and David are prime examples.  
      What is one reason men go into homosexuality?  They crave the normal, healthy male interaction that is absent in their lives.  Let's go further into this topic.

bullet"...and they kissed one another and wept with one another, until David exceeded." (KJV)
bullet"...and they kissed one another and wept with one another until David got control of himself." (Amplified Bible)
bullet"and they sadly shook hands, tears running down their cheeks until David could weep no more." (Living Bible)
bullet"They kissed each other and wept together until David got control of himself." (Modern Language)
bullet"They kissed each other and wept aloud together." (New American Bible)
bullet"Then David and Jonathan kissed each other. They cried together, but David cried the most." (New Century Version)
bullet"Then they kissed one another and shed tears together, until David's grief was even greater than Jonathan's." (Revised English Bible)
bullet"...and they kissed one another and wept with one another until David recovered himself." (Revised Standard Version)

      The translators of the Living Bible apparently could not handle the thought of two adult men kissing, so they mistranslated the passage by saying that the two men shook hands! This is somewhat less than honest. The original Hebrew text says that they kissed each other and wept together until David became great. 
      Now what is the reason for completely making the original Hebrew mean something all together different?  Fear!  HaSatan (Satan) has completely paralyzed men and society into making men feel that they must sin in order to have deep affection for another man.  This is the furthest thing from the truth.
     David was a "man after G-d's own heart".  How could a man of G-D be sinning with the approval of Adonai?  He couldn't !  Why is the story of Jonathan and David in scripture?  To show us the deep, good, male affirmation and friendship that can be experienced by two men.  This is a G-D thing.  It is His doing.  The heart of Jonathan was knit to the heart of David.  Now who joined them this closely?  The L-RD! 
    Men we have to shake off the chains of sin and fear.  The chains of false manhood, and masculinity defined by the world.  It is a hard fight and it is sometimes frustrating , but in order to have well-defined male interaction as G-D would have us, we must rid ourselves of the "teachings of men" and cultural expectations.

I think I’m attracted to others of the same sex.   Does that mean that I am gay?  cryingman2


         How many countless men have anquished and beat themselves over the head time and time again because they have felt an attraction or a "need" to be touched and held by a man?  How many men have said to themselves, "I want to be with a man , therefore I am a homosexual.?"

         I am here to tell you that what you are feeling is normal and the outcome of what you do with this desire will determine your future with relating to others and in relating to G-D.

    As men we have a deep drive, sometimes hidden, to connect and be a part of a broader community called "manhood".  This is built within our masculine wiring.  It is from G-D.  As a child I was molested and subsequently grew up thinking I was "gay".  I wanted and needed male affection .  In my mind , ME+ MALE AFFECTION = GAY.   This is the furtherst thing from the truth.  Let me explain from my own experiences.

    I have found that the deep longing and want for male touch can be satisfied in a G-DLY and right fashion without sin or guilt.   I can hold and tell a brother I love him.  I can enjoy the close physical contact of his body against mine. menhugging02 I can enjoy his companionship and touch.  G-D never said this was sinful.  Society has labeled men that want male affection as gay.  This is from Satan, not G-D. Sexual release with another man; as a man does with a woman IS SIN and abomination, NOT LOVING TOUCH.  I have found in my own life, that having a close intimate friendship with a man satisfies that desire deep within me for male affirmation.  I can be a man in the other man's eyes and this reinforces my self image of my own masculinity.     The result of this male/male interaction is increased sexual desire for my wife, and increased awareness of my manhood and masculinity.      

  The question that every man needs to ask himself is ,Am I attracted to another man because I want to have sex with him, or am I attracted to him because I want a meaningful and mutual friendship that involves touching and holding?  I believe many men would answer that they want and need a friend.  David and Jonathan in the Bible are prime examples of men loving each other in intimate and caring ways. mensmiles The Bible even says the soul of Jonathan was knit to David.  G-D did this!  He wants us to have true and meaningful relationships with other men.  Iron sharpening iron.  Men holding each other up in prayer and being available for that human male touch that we need so desperately. 

    I believe we hear the term "same-sex attraction" so much taken in connotation to mean evil and sex.   Men are made to feel guilty and ashamed because they are attracted to another man.  This is wrong.  We need to admire and want to be around other men .  Society in cooperation with the devil , has gone to great lengths to deceive men and young boys on their journey into manhood.

   It is a loving Father that has made each and every man on the face of this earth.  Every man is special and has something to contribute to the kingdom of G-D.  But if we as men do not go with what G-D has provided for us through His Son Yeshua, then we will be witness to His judgements and eternal separation.  G-D is not an evil task master that has willed all enjoyable things are sin.  Satan has done that.  03130


   Men it is time to enjoy each other, rely on one another and reap the benefits  of male/male interaction in a healthy and G-DLY manner.  When we love our neighbor as ourselves then we can love in the right manner.  We can love our wives intensly and have strong male friendships.

The point is , we can have close, intimate friendship and love for members of our same sex without being homosexual.

Men in the past, even in this country, had close intimate relationships that involved male touch and it was not considered evil, sexual or sinful.  We need that again.    

   Men need to be the men, leaders, husbands , fathers, that they were created to be.   Men cannot accomplish this goal without other men uplifting them and holding them in prayer and friendship.
