You either didn’t read my entire post or you intentionally cut out the relevant part.

Here is what I said in full:

As a Christian, I believe homosexuality is wrong. I also believe that those who claim they were born that way, probably were, but are suffering from a neurological condition like seizures, etc. for which science should find a cure/treatment. That is not to say that homosexuality is not a lifestyle choice, it absolutely is. One makes a conscious choice to engage in homosexual acts just like one chooses to engage in heterosexual acts.

I never implied that “born that way” made homosexuality a natural act. I very clearly stated that it is a lifestyle choice. I know of Christian men who confess they have a preference for (physical attraction to) other men. However, they choose not to engage in homosexual acts. It is that preference that I believe could be a neurological disorder with which they were born.

To address your citation of Romans 1:18-32, I’ve read it many times. I think what you are missing there is that “God gave them over” to the power of sexual immorality and sinful desires.

Now read Romans 9:19-23 NIV

One of you will say to me: “Then why does God still blame us? For who is able to resist his will?” But who are you, a human being, to talk back to God? “Shall what is formed say to the one who formed it, ‘Why did you make me like this?’”

Does not the potter have the right to make out of the same lump of clay some pottery for special purposes and some for common use?

What if God, although choosing to show his wrath and make his power known, bore with great patience the objects of his wrath—prepared for destruction? What if he did this to make the riches of his glory known to the objects of his mercy, whom he prepared in advance for glory—

Could it be that God allows homosexuality as a plague upon mankind for His purpose?

I did read your entire post. It appears to me that you acknowledge that homosexuality is because they "were born that way, probably were" and then claim it's because of "some neurological disorder for which science should find a cure". I can hear the liberal/socialist/homo/lesbian heads popping with ferocity over claiming they have a neurological disorder. It is a sin act, not a neurological condition over which they have no choice. I would say it is deliberate act of conscious sin & rebellion that they are engaging in, which you state in your following comments that homosexuality is a choice. It seems (to me) that you are claiming they are "born that way, probably were because of some neurological disorder" and then acknowledge that it is a conscious act of sin.

I fully acknowledge that God has given these people "fully over to their own reprobate minds" to do those things which are vile & degrading to themselves and to mankind.

Also Romans 19:19-23 is dealing with questioning God's sovereignty and right to rule in our lives, and I think it is a far stretch to use this passage to imply that God "made" homosexuals in order to reveal His glory.
