It is NOT an inherited trait or legacy such as one's ethnicity or physical characteristics.
HEAD'S UP-- THERE NOT A "GAY GENE"!
These moral/relational choices and acted-out behavior patterns are nothing more...
The homosex and LGBT "community" has decided/defaulted into the philosophical commitment, and affirmed among themselves (circular logic)... that...
"WHAT THEY DO" ...is indeed "WHO THEY ARE".
They have confused their actual identity with & by their (social/sexual) behavior patterns.
When any person declares themselves a member of the opposite sex "trapped" in the wrong body....
They are calling God a liar...
--AND--
By taking extreme steps through medical science for gender "reassignment"...
They are declaring that God didn't know what he was doing when he made them.
The Bible tells us in the OT Law and the explanation of NT Grace that these unnatural behaviors are an abomination before God, contrary to nature, and ultimately, worthy of divine judgment and eternal condemnation.
Even some traditional streams of faith have defaulted, and/or embraced this intentional confusion: "Behavior?? or Identity??"
My point is summed up simply --
Regardless of human passions, affections, and original tendencies...
GOD IS NOT CONFUSED!
Redemption through Christ's ransom remains God's loving offer to all mankind.
And to deny that in Christ alone...
Forgiveness, cleansing, transformation, and healing of the sin-damaged soul, the power of God delivers a sinner from these behavior/identity sin-traps--
...And all the others under the sun...
Such denial is unbelief -- pure and simple.
Denial of God's word, refusing God's offer of salvation, and avoiding God's own power to save...
The moment opinion, commentary and analysis fails to defend this most basic point: that homosex is a chosen behavior pattern-- In truth -- it's NOT a biological identity--
...alas, the argument is lost.
Speak truth to deception...
Shine light into darkness...
Sing a hymn...
Pass the plate....
May God bless those who know Him and all who seek Him.
While agree with you, you cannot use facts or reason when arguing with some people.
When people argue that it's genetics, I ask them one question: Then explain vegans to me?
It is so out of left field that it derails their talking points, and they usually ask me to clarify. So I tell them.
Humans are genetically omnivores. We are predisposed to eat meat and vegetables, yet some folks make the conscious decision to override their genetics and forsake all meats and animal products.
If genetics are so powerful that they take away a persons choice not to be a homosexual, then why are genetics not powerful enough to take away a persons choice to not eat meat.
