It must be incredibly difficult for those born with SSA and wanting to live as a believer. Even after prayer the attraction does not go away but they still have to choose to live the christian life.
The internal struggle is strong and these people need lots of mercy and grace.
This is why I believe all humans are born in sin through the fall of Adam...everyone has sinful latent tendencies which start to manifest later in life.
How is it that a person born in a christian home and in a godly environment struggles with these internal issues????
Can it be overcome....yes but the Church needs to recognize some are going to struggle all their lives with SSA but still sincerely love Jesus and want to live for him
