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.
You clearly didn’t understand anything I said. No, I did not say that homosexuality is because they were born that way. I said that those (homosexuals) who claim they were born that way are likely suffering from a neurological disorder (that causes them to be physically attracted to the same sex.)
You do not seem to understand the difference between a physical attraction to the same sex and the act itself of having homosexual intercourse.
The act of homosexual intercourse is, of course, sinful. God’s Word tells us that explicitly. In fact, it is an abomination to God. Engaging in homosexual behavior is a lifestyle choice not a neurological disorder.
As I said, I know Christian men who say they are physically attracted to other men and have always felt that way. (i.e. born that way) They didn’t choose to be attracted to other men. They were not abused as children. They did not learn homosexual behavior. They do not engage in homosexual behavior. Some of them have wives, whom they love dearly, and children. They live godly lives. Yet they struggle with a physical attraction to the same sex.
It is that physical attraction to the same sex that I believe could be a neurological disorder.
I didn’t suggest that God made homosexuals to reveal His glory. Again, you clearly misinterpreted everything I said. And Romans 9:19-23 deals with far more than God’s sovereignty and right to rule in our lives. It deals with the idea that God creates each of us for His purpose and that some of us are prepared for glory and some for destruction. Read Romans 9:11-18 to see the context for 9:19-23.
Yet, before the twins were born or had done anything good or bad—in order that God’s purpose in election might stand: not by works but by him who calls—she was told, “The older will serve the younger.” Just as it is written: “Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.”
What then shall we say? Is God unjust? Not at all!
For he says to Moses,
“I will have mercy on whom I have mercy,
and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.”
It does not, therefore, depend on human desire or effort, but on God’s mercy. For Scripture says to Pharaoh: “I raised you up for this very purpose, that I might display my power in you and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth.” Therefore God has mercy on whom he wants to have mercy, and he hardens whom he wants to harden.
