SOMETHING PURE FOR YOU
The "god of this world" (2 Corinthians 4: 4) may have you right where he wants you. You may be praying to the "prince of the power of the air" (Ephesians 2:2) and getting manifestations of apparitions or experiences with quantum powers able to levitate tables. What a shame if a defiled "angel of light" (2 Corinthians 11:14, Galatians 1) is as close as you get to knowing the only God who heals a broken heart in kindness. Maybe occult spirituality has attracted spirits into your life to keep you right where you are—away from the only God in existence with pure love for your soul.
God gives us all freedom to rebel from His moral law or obey it. Our lives are defined by choices we have made. We are faced with choices leading us either to "paths of righteousness for His name's sake" (Psalm 23) or "a way which seems right to man but in the end is the way of death." (Proverbs 16:25). You are where you are today as a result of choices. Will you let God take you in His direction of LIFE for your soul, or would you rather just continue on in shame in "the way of death"? It has been said that Satan makes us free to sin, but Jesus sets us free from it. Satan is not kind to his own; rather, he enslaves his own to sin and keeps them there in shame. Jesus sets us free from sin and shame and enslaves us to righteousness in the topography of His love, a place where we are happy and pure.
God knows why we sin, and God wants to heal the "why."
"He who sins against Me injures himself. All those who hate Me love death." Proverbs 8:36
"Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." Matthew 4:17. According to Jesus, the "kingdom of heaven" is conditional on repentance.
Some people argue, "God wants me to do whatever makes me happy" as they immorally sin their lives away in a cycle of self-destruction. Some of the biggest fornicators and adulterers on earth proclaim, "I don't need a Savior." Others enjoy going to religious gatherings and listening to sermons on good character. (The Bible teaches that King Herod enjoyed listening to John the Baptist preach before beheading him!)
There is only One moral God who defines sin, and only One moral God who defines purity. People don't have the final authority on such matters of the conscience.
One thing is for certain, the god of this age has nothing pure for you. He is called the "ruler of this world" (John 14:30; 16:11) and the "father of lies" (John 8:44). Satan has one goal for your life: to keep you away from Jesus, the Resurrection and the Life (John 11:25), who wants to come and live inside you through the Holy Spirit to wash you with His Love and make you clean. (1 Corinthians 6:9-11; Romans 6:22)
"…forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead." Philippians 3:13
"There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus." Romans 8:1
"You have been severed from Christ, you who are seeking to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace." Galatians 5:4
"He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf that we might become the righteousness of God in Him." 2 Corinthians 5:21
Jesus is called the "spotless Lamb" of God, because He alone is our only pure sacrifice for sin. (1 Peter 1:19). A pure God is waiting to meet you right where you are but love you too much to leave you there. The choice to come to Him is yours, but there are some things you cannot choose concerning Him. You can't change His character; He can change yours, but you can't change His. You will never deceive Him, not for a second. While the "god of this age" offers pleasure resulting in a living hell within the soul, only a God with "no deceit found in Him" (Isaiah 53:9; 1 Peter 2:22) can take a sinful heart and make it pure.

There is absolutely no proof scientifically that anyone was made for perversion. Here is a web site proving there is no such thing as a "gay gene" scientifically:
