"Evidently, then, you have found a lie in the Bible. The Bible says: Train a child up in the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not depart from it."
So, people who develop paranoid schizophrenia were trained up in it? Same with depression? OCD?
There is tons and tons and tons more choice--EVEN where there's been seduction etc. on the part of the victims . . . than there is with schizophrenia.
Particularly when one is talking about a lifestyle; a life orientation. We all have urges and temptations whether for another piece of cake; longer at the office; another computer game round; etc.
AND
I still say that--in at least 45 years of watching families closely--I have NEVER seen a son reared well who had a problem with homosexuality--regardless of everything else. The Bible is still true in this matter.
You do not sound like a mental health professional. What is your background, perspective, training that contributes to such thoughts and feelings on your part?
I think there are, must be some . . . particular reasons . . . for the fierceness of your position on this matter. Would you care to talk about those publically or privately?
Schizophrenia; severe depression and OCD all seem to have some serious physiological predispositions. Depression and OCD do have some environmental components that are significant. Schizophrenia is more complicated but also can have environmental contributions that are more than slight.
