It's very simple. Sodomites must repent of their sin, be redeemed through the blood of Christ and then lose all traces of the wickedness that is homosexuality. The myth of the so-called "gay gene" gives a pass to this evil. It's a deliberate choice by the individual to rebel against Almighty God by becoming a sodomite. The only way to come to terms with this vile sin is a through a thorough transformation through Christ. And please, I ask courteously to capitalize Creator, as did the Founding Fathers, since there is but one and only one God (and it sure ain't Allah, Buddah or any of the others). Thanks.
And being a traditionalist, I'll continue my one man campaign to eschew the use of the term "gay" in the context of homosexuality. Part of their agenda is to control the language by co-opting a perfectly fine word meaning joyous and apply it to their twisted deviancy. My wife (may God rest her soul) and I truly had a gay marriage of over 40 years until her death. Happiness was in abundance and no sodomite is going to corrupt the rightful meaning of that word as long as I'm still alive!
So some semantic differences aside, the intent of your post is laudable.
Thanks for the ping. ALerted me to the thread, too.
No sinner of any kind can “come to terms” with being sinful without sincere heartfelt repentence and surrendering their life and heart to God and then changing their sinful way of life.
A homosexual is not instrinsically a homosexual any more than a liar’s real identity is a liar. All fallen souls have grievous flaws of one kind or another; but the human life is meant for changing our fallen nature and becoming the loving servant of God we are meant to be.
It’s simple. Not easy, but simple.
Thank you. Sorry for the lack of capitalization. I should have gone to the Founders on that one, but the fact that they said “their” Creator, and not “the” Creator threw me off as to whether they were meaning it in a more general way. Nice save. :).
As to whether it’s a choice or not to be a homosexual, I see where you are coming from, however there is some basis in reality for people to be genetically predisposed to sin. For instance, people with Tourette’s syndrome may blaspheme repeatedly. This is a sin, and must be controlled and overcome by the sufferer by any means necessary if they wish to remain in good standing with God. I apply the same logic to homosexuality, whether it be an easy, conscious choice or genetic. It doesn’t much matter, because it is a sin. It can be conquered, as the devil can always be conquered. We are given challenges we all must overcome, and this is one of them. A sin that must be abstained from. In fact, I once met a formerly homosexual man who had gotten married to a woman and had kids, mainly due to his strong Christian upbringing. He wasn’t ‘shackled’ or ‘oppressed’ as liberals would have many believe. He was very happy with where he was in life.
