Only because I pointed out something that makes your point ridiculous and you know it. Which is why you are running away from it.
IF IT IS A CHOICE FOR ONE PERSON THEN IT IS A CHOICE FOR ALL PEOPLE. You included.
If you don't want to answer the question I'll know why. As will you.
I directly answered your question re: when I decided to be straight, even "taking you to school" on it, and you know it, which is why you continue to pretend that I never did so.
I've already explained to you how/why so-called "being straight" or so-called "being homosexual" is irrelevant. What matters instead is one's actions (more specifically, how one responds to one's desires/temptations), rather than the mere existence of the desires/temptations themselves.
IOW, you keep fixating on the fact that there happens to be some men in existence who happen to experience sexual desires towards other men. I agree with you there, but so what? The issue isn't with the presence of the desire itself, but rather how one CHOOSES to respond to the presence of the desire. Those men can choose to have sex with other men, succumbing to their desire, or they can choose to NOT have sex with other men, fleeing from their desire. The choice is theirs.
If they keep succumbing to a sin that they don't wish to succumb to (and feel guilty about it), then they can pray to God, repent of their sin, and ask God to provide his Holy Spirit to indwell them and give them the strength to resist future temptation to sin.
Let's say that, for whatever reason, you experience a desire to steal money from your brother. Are you telling me that, because of that desire's existence, you now have no choice but to steal money from your brother?
Like I've been repeatedly saying to you, it doesn't matter whether or not one is capable of controlling the specific desires that one experiences. What matters instead is how one chooses to respond to the presence of those desires. --- You don't HAVE to steal money from your brother simply because you experience a desire to do so. Likewise, a man doesn't HAVE to have sex with another man simply because he experiences a desire to do so. It's all about how you choose to respond to the desire. If you struggle with following God's will, then ask God to help you do so.
What are the reasons, specifically? Since you put some effort into it.
I've already told you why. There is nothing good/fruitful that results from homosexuality and it only leads to physical and spiritual harm. I'd rather feel gay instead of feeling miserable.
But you think it's there for others
You've been consistently asserting that it is there for others, and I have agreed with you.
and THEY have to struggle to overcome it.
Right. That desire belongs to THEM; only THEY can choose how to respond to it. I have no control over their choices; I only have control over my own.
While YOU were blessed by GOD to be without the temptation.
Assigning bogus positions to me, eh? I already told you about some temptations that I have faced, how I've struggled with them, and what I've ultimately learned from struggling with them.
I'm not. I've already made this quite clear by explaining how I've likewise struggled with my own desires and temptations.
So one needs divine assistance to overcome that which the Divine caused to exist so that you don't get punished eternally by the Divine.
Incorrect. "The Divine" didn't cause you to choose your own will over his; YOU caused it.
What a great faith. So comforting.
It truly is! It makes me feel very gay inside knowing that I have a Savior who lived the perfect life that I was incapable of living, yet CHOSE to suffer death on a cross in MY place for MY sins, and resurrected from the dead, defeating death, so that now (by grace, through faith) I have access to eternal life with him.
If you happened to be born the right way.
I've already explained to you why it doesn't matter how one is born. I didn't know that there was a "right" or "wrong" way to be born. What's the "right" way?
