You are completely correct. Whether it is genetic or based on
the early childhood environment it is not a choice. The exception, would be those who acquire homosexual addictions while incarcerated.
Most adults engaged in homosexuality who later reveal their childhood, share about an exposure to or indoctrination into homosexuality at some time in their childhood.
I agree, in that environmental context, that homosexuality can become later so integrated into a personality as to be (unrealistically) believed to be "inherent" or uncontrollable.
What the Baptist here is saying is that Christ can and does liberate. Jesus Christ will and does triumph, but he isn't a rapist, an abuser and won't force His way into someone's existence. Instead, Christ is available and waits the invitation to help, to save.
That's the message, right there, that the Baptist is saying: ask Christ to save you.
Because, in this context, yes, it is a matter of choice.
