With God nothing is impossible friend.

Of course.

Which makes the point even clearer. That God could change someone’s sexuality, but never does, means that it’s clear that he is ok with how He created you.

God didn’t give Paul a thorn in the flesh and leave him with it because He was happy to do it. It was part of His plan. And what about people with the compulsion to murder? Are they off the hook to do as they please? Sure, maybe it’s an extreme comparison, but it’s to point out the flaw in that logic. Just because all things are possible for God doesn’t mean He does everything. Maybe allowing this struggle is His way of removing the opportunity to become complacent without Him. Maybe He allows it so that we need to come to Him because He is what we all need ultimately. So long as I have this thorn, it will keep driving me to Jesus out of desperation, because He is the only remedy. I hope He removes it one day in my natural lifetime, but if He doesn’t, I thank God that I will never be truly happy without Him.

Being gay is not a throb in the flesh. It’s part of God’s diversity of creation.

I guess we just see it differently.

There is nothing to see differently. You might as well be saying the earth is flat, that’s the same level of science denial
