"The Trials Of Ted Haggard," an HBO documentary, profiles the former evangelical pastor after his gay sex scandal changed his life. Harry Smith talks to Haggard and his wife, Gayle.

If a person has gay sex, does that mean they're actually gay? If a person has straight sex, does that mean they're actually straight? Our current definitions say that someone must have a "primarily compulsion" to be either straight or gay. But I've known too many people like Ted who are drawn and conflicted both directions, but who are also able to make a choice (for the sake of sanity) to be one way. I believe him when he says he's "straight but conflicted." A very rough road to be sure.

first of all Ted was examined as a straight man with complications not as a homosexual. This was by his counselors. 2ndly he is suppressing those tendencies because he loves his wife and children and really as he stated has never had problems in his intimacy with his wife. 3rdly feelings are subjective to many things including chemical dysfunction which is why humans should never let their feelings dictate their actions but allow reason and logic to dictate their actions.

This means that when i get aroused by another woman because she looks attractive I fight against it. I dont succumb and commit adultery though my flesh is aroused. The difference between humans and animals is that we have the will or discipline to go against our flesh even when it misleads us into doing something wrong. We dont follow ofet our flesh because it is tainted or genetically inclined towards sinful behavior. Ted has chosen to be like Paul who said he fought the fine fight.

A lot of confusion here, but it sounds like they are working through it and that's good. He needs to come to terms with not only what he feels but also with the Word of God which is very clear on things like this. He is no different than me or anyone else. We're all sinners, saved by grace. He just can't pastor a church when he is struggling with sin of this type. He was right to step down and I'm sure at the right time he will be restored to many of his old friends.

Thirdly, I believe God will not allow us to be tempted beyond what we can bear. BTW thats a scripture. Ted haggard can succeed because he is trying to do God's will and I dont believe God will abandon him. Just as I have will power to not cheat on my wife so can Ted. Im a xtian so we have very different views on homosexuality.

Now even is homosexuality is genetic as you say it is does not mean it is not a genetic deviant. Biblically speaking sin in our bodies is a genetic fault or error. But the bible says conclusively and XTIANS follow the bible as their guide as Christ did and believe as Christ did that the bible is inerrant. 1st century xtians believed such was unatural. Rom. 1:26 "God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature"

If being gay is a sin(which i dont think it is) everyone has sinned but we dont go around exiling and calling e/o names for it. I wish he would find a church that accepted the lgbt community.

It is quite obvious that the relationship between Ted and his wife is not working out too well because you don't see that emotional bonding between the two they are both just sitting down kind of spread apart, and they don't even make eye contact. It is quite obvious that his wife wants to stay with him just for the money and he is with her to show like he is not a homosexual, and he does not want to divorce her because then much of his money will go to his wife and that would make him worse off

Therefore if Ted haggard is to be true to HISTORICAL xtianity he must believe as they did that homosexuality is not "natural" and that rather because he has sin in his flesh he must fight against all sin that is warring in his members.

For even as ye have yielded your members in bondage to uncleanness and to lawlessness unto lawlessness, so now yield your members in bondage to righteousness unto holiness"

His opinion is the bible is the inerrant word of God and so he must remain faithful to that philosophy. To love God is to obey God and it is inconsistent to say you love someone and yet be unfaithful to them. That means if he loves God he must be faithful to God and that requires work, hard work.
