Why didn't you just say yes.
provide me one example where you cannot change your personal desires.
When do you admit you are wrong.
There is no instance where you cannot change your personal desires.
But I don't know, maybe you just haven't realized it yet.
So, through repetition, any given act can become desirable?
One person might not like boxing, and start to box every day, but even though they do it every day all day, they might not like it.
What am I wrong about.
Would you agree then in this circumstance there is nothing practical to do to change this individuals perception on boxing?
That may sound unlikely, but as researchers are discovering, a person's sexual orientation is not carved in stone. In her influential book Sexual Fluidity, psychology professor Lisa M. Diamond chronicled her research on 80 nonheterosexual women over a period of 10 years. During that time, Diamond discovered, a significant number of the women had reported changing their sexual orientation. The most frequent cause for the U-turn? The "switchers" had fallen in love with a member of the opposite sex.
Several studies suggest that changes in sexual orientation among trans people are quite common. Among 115 Dutch participants, for example, 33% of trans women and 22% of trans men reported experiencing changes in their sexual attractions. This was true of 49% of trans masculine and 64% of trans feminine individuals in a 2015 study of 452 participants from Massachusetts, with the majority of these changes occurring after social transition. In another 2013 study of 507 U.S. trans men who’ve started transitioning (including hormones and/or surgery), 40% reported some shift in sexual attractions. Almost identical results were found in a 2005 study of 232 U.S. trans women who had undergone surgical and hormonal transition, where 43% reported significant shifts in their sexual orientation (of 2+ points along the 7-point Kinsey scale).
Would you agree then in this circumstance there is nothing practical to do to change this individuals perception on boxing?No. Maybe other things might change their perception on boxing.Examples:Watching others succeed at boxing.Just simply watching boxing.
What if it all fails? I know many people, pacifists or the elderly, who will never love boxing. Would you say then it would be immoral to force them into boxing?
Woah....I never said anything about forcing anyone into anything.
Just as how it's cruel to make a non-boxing fan participate in boxing, isn't it cruel to force a non-hetero to deviate from their homosexuality?
You are forcing and threatning gay people by asserting that what they feel is wrong, and that to act in those nonharmful ways will result in eternal burning.
To act upon your homosexual desires, or to look at men as a man with lustful intent is a sin.
I think this conversation is done - your entire predication for this stance, the Christian God, is not even justified so the entire topic here is irrelevant.
Ok. Thank you for giving up with your argument, because obviously you don't have enough belief in it to continue the argument.
Why is it a sin.

Why does the bible have authority?
He doesn't exist though...
A fact based one.
