Ssa meaning gay

God deeply loves people with lgbtq+ attraction. Sadly, many churches have ostracized gay-identified people. God doesn’t see people with same-sex attraction as greater sinners than others.

Every moment the New Testament references homosexual perform as a sexual sin, it is within the context of other sins. He offers the same redemptive prepare to all people. He discourages any sexual sin (regardless of gender attraction) outside of His plan for sexual expression because He loves us and sin is destructive.

Homosexual practice has been present throughout history. Thankfully, God’s Pos transcends time and culture to control us towards experience. To experience God’s best with our sexuality, we must live by God’s plan for sexuality, regardless of cultural acceptance or personal desires. The Bible clearly defines lgbtq+ practice as a sexual sin throughout both Old and New Testaments. The only relationship where a sexual union is celebrated is within the confines of a monogamous heterosexual marriage between one man and one woman. All people are called to flee any sexual activity outside of this boundary.

Setting the Record Straight

• God loves gay people: God so
  

  These days, it seems that almost every week social media uncovers another eruption along the Presbyterian Church in America's (PCA) volcanic fault line between social accommodation/compassion and biblical obedience. This week, a conference promoting strategies to address same sex attraction (SSA) has raised heads and provoked comment. This particular event seems to be a laudable strive to balance the tension: while calling for a compassionate acceptance of SSA Christians it also makes clear statements in back of biblical marriage and takes a position against homosexual deed that most people in our society would consider fundamentalist. Conservatives should therefore refrain from drawing the worst possible implications from what seems to be a thoughtful and responsible attempt to address this major cultural touchstone.

  While avoiding hysterical division, we can at the same time record that a major question stamp hangs over the normalization of SSA as a Christian category. It seems that there is a growing consensus in the PCA that we can and must distinguish between one's sexual orientation and sinful desires. The alternative would seem to be that we tell men and women strug

  "Same sex attraction" (SSA) is a term used mostly by conservative Christians to avoid using the term gay when referring to men who are attracted to men or men who have sex with men (MSM). Often, SSA refers to queer men only, and not lesbian, bisexual, or transgendered persons.
  
  Unlike many mainstream mental health practitioners and associations which do not reflect homosexuality is a disease or mental illness, groups which use the word SSA often believe that all persons are heterosexual and homosexual thoughts or sexual relations are deviant. What most people would consider to be a "gay person" is a "heterosexual with a lesbian problem" for many who use the term SSA.
  
  Those who use the designation SSA deny the truths that the vast majority of LGBT people can't be "cured" of their sexual orientation.

  My Husband’s Not Gay Misunderstands What It Means to Be Gay

  The guys on the TLC extraordinary My Husband’s Not Gay, which aired Sunday night, don’t identify as lgbtq+. Sure, they read as gay, they acknowledge that they are attracted to guys, and they go out together to check out other men, but they also repeatedly emphasize the ways they differ from people living a so-called “gay lifestyle” because of attuned choices they own made. Despite the network’s assertions that the show “solely represents the views of the individuals featured,” there are repeated suggestions that gay men can be attracted to women and that homosexual orientations are not fixed and unchanging but fluid and negotiable. This ought not to be surprising given that some of the show’s subjects are active ex-gay evangelizers. This ex-gay mindset is what makes the reveal so odious, and its focus on orientation change ought to be distinguished from other, less harmful efforts to reconcile traditional faith backgrounds with LGBTQ identities.

  Although My Husband’s Not Gay shots to stick to the personal experiences of its subjects, a group of Mormons who exist around Salt Lake City, the ideology of orientation cha
