What we believe
(Gen 2:18-25 NIV) The LORD God said, "It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him." {19} Now the LORD God had formed out of the ground all the beasts of the field and all the birds of the air. He brought them to the man to see what he would name them; and whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name. {20} So the man gave names to all the livestock, the birds of the air and all the beasts of the field. But for Adam no suitable helper was found. {21} So the LORD God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man's ribs and closed up the place with flesh. {22} Then the LORD God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man. {23} The man said, "This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called 'woman, ' for she was taken out of man." {24} For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh. {25} The man and his wife were both naked, and they felt no shame.
"It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him."
1. This site exists so that those who have entered into a homosexual lifestyle can find help, hope and courage to exit from that lifestyle (see the links and resources). We believe in the right to choose to exit a gay lifestyle.
2. While we do not choose our orientation, we can choose our lifestyle. A persons orientation does not force him to carry out sodomy or buggery. Gays are not robots or creatures of animal instinct. A gay gene does not force a person to do anything, we are not preprogrammed like a robot. We have a choice, which includes celibacy. No one has died because they did not have sex!
3. We believe that only through repentance and faith in Jesus Christ, and the power of the Holy Spirit can a person be delivered from homosexual action and orientation.
4. This site also exists to confirm and affirm family values as God created them as well as God as our Creator. And to affirm those who believe in heterosexual values, i.e. that God has created us male and female.
5. We do not believe that homosexual orientation of itself is sinfull. We believe that God loves mankind whether homosexual or heterosexual. Jesus died for sinners, all sinners and he calls sinners to repentance.
6. We do not condemn those who are in a homosexual lifestyle, we believe that Jesus came into the world not to condemn it but to save it, and he also called sinners to repentence and said "It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick" (Luke 5:31-32). We also believe that there will be a day of judgement when each person will have to answer to their Creator, we should prepare for that day.
7. We believe that the fundamental reason why homosexual activity is wrong is found in the creation account in which God brought man and woman together and then the bible comments: For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh (Gen 2:24). This passage of scripture is endorsed by Jesus in Mt 19:5 and Mk 10:8 and by Paul in Eph 5:31.
8. We believe that through Jesus Christ a homosexual can change his lifestyle - 1 Cor 6:11 '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'.
End note: This site assumes that God exists and that the
Bible is the word of God, if this is not so then "Let us eat and drink,
for tomorrow we die." for articles that deal with these issues see

We also think that people have a choice whether to continue in the gay
lifestyle - a choice that gay propaganda would deny these people - they say
'once gay always gay' - we say - you have a choice - you are not a robot.
