So I made this comment in Christianity subreddit and lots of people there started saying it was bigotry and the like.

Is it?

Here is the comment I made: ‘I am better qualified than most others to answer this.

I was a gay man until I realised it was a demon of lust.

Being “gay” is not a sin, enacting homosexual acts is a sin. Yes, Jesus did say that: if you lust in your heart, you have committed adultery. This does not mean you committed the literal sin of adultery; it was meant to empathise two things (in my interpretation), the first being that no matter how hard we try and refuse to enact sin, as much as humanly possible, our hearts are still corrupted by the flesh, and will be bent unto sin, thus (secondly) meaning that the distance between Man and God is gargantuan, infinite; when Jesus died on the Cross and arose the Third Day, his blood bridged the gap for those who believed and do intend to repent, do repent and try to align in action with God.

Now, I may be provoked by a demon of lust, I may desire to give in, but so long as it remains without action, so long as it is a sinful desire and not a sinful act acted out, then there is no sin that you have wrought upon your spirit.

So long as you remain as true as you can in action and deed, so long as you try and intend to align with Christ, then I believe, you are saved.’
