Dear Editor,
As someone who isn’t gay or bi but has had many friends who are, I want to express strong support for what Andy Robinson wrote in the last issue of en about temptation to homosexual practice (as well as for the good work he and Living Out do).
It’s surely self-evident Biblically (classically Genesis 3 and Matthew 4, and elsewhere) that temptation includes an external dimension, an impulse from outside. To be tempted is to hear that external temptation.
