“Respected scientific studies show that homosexuals can change their sexual orientation”

o The Kinsey Institute reports that 84% of the homosexuals they studied had shifted their sexual orientation at least once; 32% of them reported a second shift, and 13% reported five changes, during their lifetime, in their sexual orientation.

• After treating more than 100 homosexuals, Dr. Irvine Bieber concluded that, “a heterosexual shift is a possibility for all homosexuals who are strongly motivated to change.”

o Bieber, Irving. Homosexuality: A Psychoanalytic Study (NewYork: Basic Books, 1962), p. 318-319.

• Drs. Wood and Dietrich confirm that, “all studies which have attempted conversions from homosexuality to heterosexuality have had significant success.”

1 Corinthians 6:9-11

“Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.” (1 Corinthians 6:9-11)

What a stunning list of really tough sins that God has ALREADY freed people from – including homosexuality!
