The Same-Sex Attraction

5/02/2022

This week in family relation class, we discuss same-sex attraction for men and women there are so many things that I have observed from the discussion and all this comes with gender. Going into the spiritual realms God created man and woman with different characteristics. Now talking about same-sex attraction, people say have different beliefs about this behavior which says it is something they have inherited some says it is a spiritual attitude, some also say it is an individual character but to my point of view, for this whole argument, all I will say about this topic is it is something which is being influenced by peers and this will lead me to a story that a man shares with us how he was drug into homosexuality.  According to him, when he was 19 years old, he lost both parents and there was no one to provide for him even to send him to school so, therefore, he starts selling candies at the roadside till one day he meet two men and they promise to help him so they gave him their address so he can visit them in their office. However, they schedule an appointment with them to visit them. The day he was going, they inform him that he can come with all his belongings so he can stay with them. This boy was able to go for this invitation and that night the man came to his room telling him that, he is gay and he has a lot of money to offer him if he could be his gay partner, he rejected the offer but unfortunately for him, the following day he plans to live but they did not allow him to go all their gate locked so he was not able to go. This gay man came to him again to convince him to have his way to have sex with him. According to him, he spent about five years with his gay partner till one day he decided to put a stop and run out of that relationship, but the partner told him he will kill him if he tries living so he was afraid but he escapes from him and run to a far place because he has seen that this is not right and he decided to repent from it. Many people will see today that have a same-sex attraction all came from different backgrounds with different stories in the United state here that is a cultural and legal law we can say that is normal but in some parts of the world which this is not practiced there if a person has been found with this same-sex attraction people don’t see it to be normal, but they say it be spiritual attitude but looking at some behavior of men and women sometimes you could observe that some women can posses some characters of a man which the woman can act and behave like a woman likewise to some men they also have some characters like women which they behave and act like a women people who act in this way don’t mean they are gay or lesbians some it depends on the kind of environment that they were raised and some it can be the genotype, men and women who have this similarity are easy to be influence by their peers that are into gay and lesbians which will enable them to have this attraction to them. All the advanced countries in the world today, have legalized this same-sex marriage which has been a norm and tradition that is been practiced in this has also influenced a lot of youth to engage in it. In my country in Ghana same-sex marriage is not a culture and it is not common to see people engaging in this kind of practice or the so call same-sex attraction. In 2010, President Obama try to influence our president to legalize gay and lesbian which is LGBT in the country but it was declined even this our current president has made an attempt to legalize LGBT but he did not succeed Ghana is a Christian country and some of this are not our cultures and it will be very difficult before same-sex marriage will be introduced. Many people will say that some people were born with this same-sex attraction but that is not the fact, some people have chosen to be like that, and because they have been into it they always try to look for a way to influence others to take part in it. But we as individuals who are not engaged in this should not discriminate or be dogmatically committed about their nature of sexuality or gender identity but rather, we should help them to lead meaningful, and dignified lives.

  COURTSHIP IN RELATIONSHIP 12/02/2022             Male handsomeness and female beauty are good gifts from God. The scripture is unashamed to speak of men who had attractive physical appearance and women who had beautiful faces and get these beautiful bodies. Now, I am regularly asked if it is important for a Christian man or woman to be physically attracted to the person they are dating. As I’ve asked this question in the past, I have found that counsel usually comes in one of two basic answers. One answer is that no physical attraction isn’t important and shouldn’t be part of one’s initial consideration; rather, a person’s godly character should be the primary factor, physical attraction is important and should also be part of the equation. Unfortunately, while I agree more with the second of the two, neither of the typical answers to this question go deep enough to provide sufficiently biblical counsel. In order to ful...

  Family stress 5/03/2021 We all know what it’s stressed. Stress can be emotional like feeling overwhelmed or anxious, mental such as struggling to make decisions or at any time stop worry. Family, whereby two couples have married for over 12 years without having a child, is difficult and devastated, and sometimes if the situation seems to be becoming overwhelming it will eventually lead both parties to stress and anxiety. Sometimes, negative outcomes of it all are many and most especially it happens to the women when they are married for over years without having a child will turn her into depression and anxiety, and sometimes this can also cause a family crisis in the nuclear family and the extended family. A family whereby both side parents of young couples are interested in ground children can become problematic and stressful if the parties are not producing children to the family.
