Should I try to change?

 

There is an organisation, Exodus International, that offers "freedom from homosexuality through the power of Jesus Christ".

Suppose one of the Christadelphian pastoral groups, like the Caring Network, or perhaps an ecclesia, offered to pay for me to go on one of their courses, should I accept?

Definitely not. If you are truly homosexual, it will be impossible to change who you are. I think that personally you need to change your self-esteem instead. Remember that you are in power of yourself. Although I am spiritual, I am skeptical about "Jesus" and the 'power' offered, but I can assure you that you can try however hard you want to change your natural response but you will find no absolution. Hope that helps, but remember to build self-worth instead of looking for others. The only "ammunition" religion has against gay men and women is what it says in Leviticus, but if you have read Leviticus, you can see that those laws have been disregarded because they have no meaning in this day and age. How can eating shellfish be sinful? And quail? It is not. In a day of ignorance, one might have thought so. And something I hate is how people cherry-pick the rules. If they choose to live by the book of Leviticus, then they themselves have sinned repeatedly, regardless of personal habits or not. If they choose to point the finger, 3 are pointing back at themselves. And also, the bible says "judge not, lest ye be judged", but how often people forget that.

god bless, and good luck..
