“Sin comes in many forms and we are all born into sin. “
True, but we weren’t “made that way” by God.
The serpent is crafty.
Did God tell you that Father, or did he send you a text?
God does not make anything other than the perfectly good. God allows less than that because of the arrogance and disobedience on the part of Adam and Eve. It is our task to overcome those results.
Our very DNA is corrupted by sin. That is NOT the way God made us iris the way we have become through our sinful nature. I’m not saying homosexuality is genetic I rather doubt it is. However even if it is it is something to be fought and conquered not something to be celebrated! Can you imagine a diabetic saying diabetes is normal and should be embraced and celebrated not treated?
In the Bible, which should be the basis for the Jesuit’s decisions, it clearly states God made man and woman. In multiple places the Bible declares homosexuality and all forms of sexual perversion to be sin. God wants us to love the sinner, not condone the sin. Franklin Graham is correct. The Jesuit is not. Franklin Graham bases his decision making on God’s Word. The Jesuit apparently does not.
Fr. Martin needs a stake, some kindling and an accelerant.
“God also made mosquitos and kids with birth defects also.”
And he made rattlesnakes and democrats. Figure that one out.
God doesn’t make people gay... no more than he makes them rapists or murderers.
Free will, you engage in actions. You choose to do so..
If you claim you are something just because you have a urge that got made you some way then you have no free will.
This entire argument is garbage.
Having urges does not equate to acting on them. If having urges means you are made something by god then every rapist is a rapist because god made them that way. It’s a stupid idiotic argument that denies the very fundamental tenant of free will.
Ahh,you ment the Devil didn’t you?
We all know the story of the hatchling that imprints on the first creature it sees. Gays are emotionally disturbed individuals who imprint on a dominant mother, at the same time rejecting a flawed or ineffective father. That's why they are usually the first child of a troubled relationship or the last child of older parents who have experienced a change in the dynamics of their relationship to then fit the pattern. It's not rocket science and many gays admit their parents fit the profile. My own uncle fits the pattern.
Why doesn’t James Martin just come out of the closet?
Its clear to everyone, and is why he looks like a complete hypocrite
If HE made you that way, then you can not have children.....HE'S giving you a clue.....you're not the breeding type...
Nope.
Saying that Almighty God created some men to engage in sodomy is heretical no matter how you look at it.
Agree.
How do these Priests stay on, after such statements?
True.
Jevvies...stirring up trouble for five centuries.
it's not a sin, it's an abomination! But I guess this is how he probably excuses pumping alter boys and blowing bishops.
People that just can't figure out the sex drive are stupid.
Gay isn't anything more than lazy stupidity.
If people turn homosexual because they were abused as kids, or the mother took too much estrogen, or they were born with chromosome damage, it still means you need to live a moral, celibate lifestyle. We all have demons to battle.
