Maybe you could explain Tom what the crux of this issue is I think this one's a difficult one to discern. Most Christians might think well of course you know were falling we have desires for wrong things in some heterosexual Christians have desires for adultery are lost and so forth. How is that really any different than a Christian who has homosexual desires and it that's just who they are, how to answer that goes back to the question of identity and he was in Christ is a new creation old things passed away.
All things become. This is Paul's language to a subsequent inspired so that that the issue is in what way are Christians, made new.

Don't try to change me rhyme up on the steel Christian.
I'm a man wants to have sex with with the animals, but that's just who I am. Those are my desires are here in me. Of course, we wouldn't ugly we automatically see still at this point. Give us 10 years. We may not. But at this point we still see that that is perverse that that is sin against nature is a violation of the turning on its head.
