I know there are christian camps for homosexuals for healing.
Do u think that works if homosexuality is a illness and curse?
Leviticus 18:22 "You shall not have sexual relations with a man, as with a woman..."
First, the Law is clear: Yahweh instructed us not to engage in homosexual practices or even to joke about it.
Second, it is accurate to call it an illness or a curse, but it is still one that can be overcome
The way parents teach their children, other influences, and genetics can play a big role in causing this illness or curse to be.
Leviticus 18:22 "...it is an abomination."
The word "abomination" was translated from the Hebrew word תועבה , which is listed in Strong's Exhaustive Concordance as #8441.

Abominable actually means to be infected with something which is contagious - meaning, you can pass that sickness on to your offspring by heredity, or teaching. Science is just now, in this generation, with the use of powerful, electronic microscopes, discovering unseen microbes, that your Bible warns, are created if certain illegal, sexual lusts are given in to and performed. They can crossbreed and mutate inside your body, and your body will start dying. "Dying you will die" due to sickness and disease, to which there are no cures. This does not need to be.
Scientific Facts Prove These Health Laws True
The Laws in your Bible were given to mankind to guide him to a perfect life of peace, joy, love, and health or
abundant living. Having healthy minds without confusion was Yahweh's intention, and He offers it to everyone free of charge.
[Have you ever met a man who has been a homosexual most of his life and has had many male 'companions?' These men often have open soars that are visible on their arms and hands. This is common for homosexual men in there mid-forties or older.]
The more you multiply your forbidden acts, the greater these plagues become. Each act of sodomy, fornication, adultery, homosexuality, and beastiality adds to this concoction that has been building in your genes and organs. As a result, this concoction has built a mighty, deadly army that is defiling your body, the earth (Isa. 24:1-6), and the atmosphere, called the firmament in your Bible. Again, notice the warnings in Leviticus 18, the entire chapter.
Science knows these acts cause cervical cancer, for example...
Read the following article, and remember that there would be no genetic or hereditary diseases if humans didn't have sex in the first place. This means that along with what we all recognize as being a sexually transmitted disease, if a person was born with it, it was also sexually transmitted. This isn't made clear in scientific articles.
The Mayo Clinic: "Anyone who is sexually active risks exposure to a sexually transmitted infection to some degree. Factors that may increase that risk include: Having sexual contact with multiple partners. The more people you have sexual contact with, the greater your overall exposure risks. This is true for concurrent parnters as well as monogamous consecutive relationships."
The Boston Globe reported, "Scientists suspected long ago that cancer could be an infectious disease: 19th century physicians observed that cervical cancer was common among prostitutes and rare among nuns, suggesting the disease was spread through sex. But, it wasn't until the last 50 years that researchers began to draw a direct connection between the viruses - organisms that need to get inside the healthy cells in order to survive - and the nations's second leading killer. Even now, researchers are still figuring out exactly how the viruses cause cancer."
Scientific tests show these acts also slow brain cognitive ability and can lead to brain damage: Experimental Studies, Old and New, On Menstrual Toxin. (
Journ. Compar. Psychol., vol xviii, p. 113, August, 1934.) Macht, D. I. and Davis M.E.: "The traditional “uncleanness” of a menstruating woman is based on something more than superstition. Studies conducted for more than ten years have established the existence in the blood serum, the blood cells, the sweat, milk, tears, urine and other secretions of a menstruating woman of a poison, closely related to oxycholesterol, to which the name menotoxin has The Prophetic Word 1-2015 Page 11 been applied. The most striking and characteristic effects of menotoxin are of a phytotoxic nature; but a number of zoopharmacological reactions have been described. Injections of menotoxin have a markedly depressant effect upon animals. It is possibly that a fertile field of research has thus been opened up and further work may lead to important results in medicine and pharmacology."
From the Pharmacological Laboratory, John Hopkins University, Baltimore, Md. "Macht and Lubin have described their studies on menotoxin first in these Proceedings and later in a fuller communication elsewhere. It was shown that in the blood, sweat, saliva, milk and other secretions of menstruating women there is present a toxin, which is especially deleterious to plant protoplasm, but is also…for animals and animal tissues. The chemical nature of this toxin was found by them to bear a relationship to oxycholesterin and allied bodies such as cholic acid. It is well known that at the time of catamenia, the female organism undergoes profound metabolic and other physiological changes. Very common concomitants of menstruation are pain, malaise, nervous irritability, and psychic disturbances. In the present investigation an inquiry was made as to whether such symptoms may not be referred to the presence of menstrual toxins. Albino rats were trained to run in the circular maze, so as to perform that exercise in the shortest period of time and without errors. The rats were then injected with normal human blood serum on the one hand, and with blood serum from menstruating women, on the other hand, and the effect of the injections was observed. In order to avoid anaphylactic phenomena the injections were made in different rats, and when the same rats were used again, it was only after a long period of rest. Fifteen experiments were made with injections of normal human serum, and twenty-one with menstrual serum, the doses injected ranging from 0.01 cc. to 0.2 cc. It was found that injections of normal serum produced no effect, or occasionally a slight transient depression. Injections of menstrual serum produced very marked depression of the animals, as manifested by their speed of running, loss of orientation, and numerous errors and frequently there was a distinct paresis of the hind legs." ~

Suffering from brain fog? It may be due to an STD "Confusion, forgetfulness and even dementia can stem from herpes, hepatitis and even HIV Are you having trouble remembering things, making decisions or having hard time concentrating? You may be suffering from cognitive decline. Although cognitive decline is associated with the aging process it can be caused by other factors such as infections like the herpes simplex viruses 1 and 2. Just last March, a study published in Neurology found that people who had herpes simplex type 1 virus could be at greater risk for cognitive problems especially when it came to memory. The study which consisted of 1,625 people, average age 69 years and lived in northern Manhattan in New York, they were given brain function tests that measured thinking, memory and processing abilities and were tested yearly for an average of eight years. Participants had blood samples taken that were tested for five common low grade infections: three viruses (herpes simplex type 1 (oral) and type 2 (genital), and cytomegalovirus), chlamydia pneumoniae (a common respiratory infection) and Helicobacter pylori (a bacteria found in the stomach). The results showed that those with higher levels of the herpes simplex type 1 virus in their blood were more likely to have more cognitive deficits. More research needs to be done before one can be more definitive about the relationship between the virus and cognitive decline. In a University of Michigan study published in the Journal of Infectious Diseases for the first time has shown a link between cognitive impairment and herpes simplex virus Type 1 (HSV-1) in children and cytomegalovirus (CMV) in adults. Researcher’s used data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) III and found that HSV-1 (oral herpes) is linked with reading and spatial reasoning test scores among children ages 12-16; impaired coding speed, which is a measure of visual motor speed and attention. HSV-1 was also linked to immediate memory impairment among middle-age and older adults. CMV was linked with impairment in coding speed, learning and recall in middle-aged adults. Dr. Amanda Simanek, PhD, MPH, assistant professor of epidemiology at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee commented in a release “If HSV-1 begins to have impact on cognitive function early in life; HSV-1 infection in childhood may have important consequences for educational attainment and social mobility across the lifespan.” “Once acquired, herpes viruses are never cleared from the body and instead persist in a latent state. Such pathogens are, however, subject to reactivation and capable of invading the central nervous system, where they may exert direct damage to brain.”" ~

Centers For Disease Control - CDC) Gay and Bisexual Men’s Health: "Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs) have been increasing among gay and bisexual men. Recent increases in syphilis cases have been documented across the country. In 2008, men who have sex with men (MSM) accounted for 63% of primary and secondary syphilis cases in the United States. MSM often are diagnosed with other bacterial STDs, including chlamydia and gonorrhea infections. Gay and bisexual men can be infected with HPV (Human Papillomavirus), the most common STD in the United States. Some types of HPV cause genital and anal warts and some can lead to the development of anal and oral cancer. Men who have sex with men are 17 times more likely to develop anal cancer than heterosexual men. Men who are HIV-positive are even more likely than those who are uninfected to develop anal cancer."
The Health Risks of Gay Sex, JOHN R. DIGGS, JR., M.D. "Sexual relationships between members of the same sex expose gays, lesbians and bisexuals to extreme risks of Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs), physical injuries, mental disorders and even a shortened life span. The list of diseases found with extraordinary frequency among male homosexual practitioners as a result of anal intercourse is alarming: • Anal Cancer • Chlamydia trachomatis • Cryptosporidium • Giardia lamblia • Herpes simplex virus • Human immunodeficiency virus • Human papilloma virus • Isospora belli • Microsporidia • Gonorrhea • Viral hepatitis types B & C • Syphilis Sexual transmission of some of these diseases is so rare in the exclusively heterosexual population as to be virtually unknown. Others, while found among heterosexual and homosexual practitioners, are clearly predominated by those involved in homosexual activity."
(
CDC)Consequences of Sodomy …" the reason sodomites are prone to a myriad of infections and an early death is because the lining of the rectum was made…for one purpose only -- to rid the body of waste. Anal intercourse…traumatizes the soft tissues of the rectal lining. Even in the absence of major trauma, minor or microscopic tears in the rectal lining allow for immediate contamination and the entry of germs into the bloodstream.” In addition to the trauma of intercourse, semen can eat away at the intestinal lining. This allows a person to “infect themselves” as the bacteria from their feces enter the blood stream. As a result of this, a man is 2,700 times more likely to get an HIV infection from anal intercourse… The Center for Disease Control warns that men who have sex with men can result in rapid, extensive transmission of sexually transmitted diseases.”"
The Medical Institute of Sexual Health reports: “Homosexual men are at significantly increased risk of HIV/AIDS, hepatitis, anal cancer, gonorrhea and gastrointestinal infections as a result of their sexual practices. Women who have sex with women are at significantly increased risk of bacterial vaginosis, breast cancer and ovarian cancer than are heterosexual women.” (Executive Summary, “Health Implications Associated with Homosexuality,” 1999
Ok, I suppose that's enough scientific proof that Leviticus Chapter 18 is wise advise, and not some ridiculous or burdensome Law. So, back to the part of your post about "healing" this illness or curse:
Have you heard of the 10,000 Hour Rule or
"The First 20 Hours," by Josh Kaufman? There's some really simple steps you can take to overcome...
Gen 4:7 If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him. ~ King James Version
Genesis 4:7 "If you do righteousness, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do righteousness, sin is crouching at your door. The desire to sin is with you, but you must overcome it." ~ Book of Yahweh
1Jn_2:14 I have written unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one. ~KJV
The Greek word, in 1st John 2:14, is νενικηκατε, and Strong's says the following about it:
G3528
νικάω
nikaō
nik-ah'-o
From G3529; to subdue (literally or figuratively): - conquer, overcome, prevail, get the victory.
That is summary enough for this topic, so I won't discuss the difference between νικάω and νενικηκατε here.
The Hebrew word in Genesis 4:7, which has traditionally been translated as "shalt rule" (KJV) or "rule" (ASV) is from the Hebrew word תמשׁל, according to the Tanach and Strong's says:
H4910
משׁל
mâshal
maw-shal'
A primitive root; to rule: - (have, make to have) dominion, governor, X indeed, reign, (bear, cause to, have) rule (-ing, -r), have power.
Notice, the Hebrew word in the the Tanach or Codex Lenengradis is suffixed with the Hebrew letter ת (tau) indicating this word means....well...
First, I should point out that every Synagogue today has a copy of the Tanach without vowels because the original writings of the Hebrew manuscripts did not have them. Any Hebrew word has, sometimes, a deluge of meanings, and a vowel point was added as interpretation based on somebody's doctrine, or conspiracy.
So, Genesis 4:7 is saying that:
"you have your overcoming" This is known as an idiom. Growing up in the "Garden of Eden," being raised by Adam under the influence of the Law (before Moses wrote it all down), Cain was no stranger to the idea that sin, and the "carnal mind," were very much with him. As we can see from Biblical examples throughout Scripture, people, feelings, and thoughts have tremendous influence on us. It is up to each of us to mentally exercise in preparation for real life experiences. As is explained by Josh Kaufman, practice in your mind is highly effective. In one study performed by psychologists, two basketball teams were set against each other. Team A practiced on the court using their usual methods. Team B was only allowed to sit and practice in their minds. After the game, coaches were asked which team showed the most improvement, and the answer was B not A.
Likewise, Yahshua Messiah said, Mat 5:28
But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. ~ KJV
Yahshua said that thinking about that sin, or practicing it in your mind, has the same, or similar, effect on the health of your mind and body.
Yahweh desires that we all be a part of His family. To do this a person must come into unity with Him through ever means available - mental exercise, reminders on your wall or mirror, 'catch' phrases you use, people you spend your time with or look up to, and how you spend your private time.
We all struggle with out own demons. It is simply a part of being human that "the desire to sin is with you," or me, but like I said, Yahweh gave us the option to choose (Joshua 24:15), commonly referred to as "free moral agency."
If you study the Scriptures, there is evidence of a great war in Heaven. That war lead to Satan and 1/3 of the ruling Malakim (Angels) being exiled from Heaven (also called Yahweh Shammah). As we see in Job Chapter 1, Satan is not banned from ever visiting Heaven, but is allowed to attend 'Court,' for any type of proceeding similar to what you see today. Satan went to Yahweh and made an appeal, stating, in summary, that Job (Yahshub in Hebrew) was only obedient and loving towards Yahweh because of a multitude of blessings. The Scriptural account of His worldly possessions, compared to today, is possibly in the billions of dollars (USD). [I challenge someone to calculate the value of $1 after 5,000 years of inflation. I have not, but I imagine the result is an enormous number]
So, Yahweh granted Satan permission to do anything she wanted to the family and possessions of Job. Job stood strong, and lost everything except His wife who nagged and nagged Him, trying to get Him to forsake Yahweh. In modern language, Job actually called her the 'B' word.
So, Satan went back to Yahweh and appealed again, sating the it just wasn't fair that Yahweh was protecting Job's body, and that if She were allowed to harm Job physically, He would forsake Yahweh. All things are according to the Plan of Yahweh, and this was no different. Satan only has power within the boundaries of what Yahweh allows. There are prophesies of when Yahshua will rule the earth, but until then, Satan has rulership of the earth (she is called the Prince of Tyre and the prince of the power of the air). In Isayah she is called Lucifer, which was translater from the Hebrew word 'Hilel' or הילל which Strong's says means:
H1966
הילל
hêylêl
hay-lale'
From H1984 (in the sense of brightness); the morning star: - lucifer.
AND, Brown-Driver-Briggs says, means:
H1966
הילל
hêylêl

In Hebrew tradition, the wife teaches the children in all things. The young girls continue in this instruction and would usually learn a trade such as basket weaving, or some other craft. The young boys, usually around 3 or 4, would leave the instruction of their mother to enter the full-time instruction of their father, also learning a trade, but usually in a more labor intensive craft such as farming, husbandry, metal work, blacksmithing, carpentry, etc.
The account of Genesis 2 and 3 is no different. Hilel was tasked with teaching the women of the Garden, as is indicated in several places including the word "tree" which means "place of worship," in Hebrew (BDB, 1980, page 781), and further indicated by such verses as Deut. 12:2 and 2nd Kings 16:4.

KJV "and I have set" Hebrew ונתתיך, listed in BDB, page 678, which says this is correctly means "to give a woman as wife," or "to marry."
The man taught his son how to be a man - what it means to be a man. Yahweh gave instructions to Moses, a pattern by which all aspects of religious and daily life should follow. Within that pattern was The Man. Yahweh is a man, and Supreme Ruler of the Universe. He instructs us to carry out this patter too, but teaching our sons to be men, and our girls to be women. This means that a young boy should do things that help him
feel like a man.
