Archivedits OKPeople do not choose to be gay. If you had taken the time to read this forum you would have found out that we know homosexual desires are not chosen. The issue for Christian's is not if they chose the orientation it is what they do with the orientation. As to the article: When men breed animals for certain characteristics they run the chance of creating aberrations. I find this article interesting and will follow the research. It is interesting that this is found in sheep since Jesus compares us to sheep who need a shepherd who will not breed selectively and thereby create aberrations in His flock. Now, God has explicitely stated in His Word that sexual intimacy is to be limited to a man and a women in a life long monogamous marriage. This is the only sexual union He approves of. Ever-straights have to live with this as well or run the risk of God's judgment. Another poster linked to an article where researchers think they have found a genetic anomily in the brains of transgendered, and therefore believe that God created trangenderism. If that is the case, God created them that way, we can say the same about men who have frontal lobe abnormalities that leaves them without a moral compass and committ crimes like murder without compunction or remorse. I know this may sound like a harsh comparison, however, God created mankind perfect but that does not preclude genetic aberrations that produce children with one physical or mental defects. Can we presume that all such births are God's creation and expressed will? The difference between animals and people is we have the ability to make choices based on moral teachings. Gay men and lesbian women can choose to live celibate lives in obedience to God. God has promised that those who give up anything in this life for Him will receive more than they give up. Are homosexuals less worthy of respect, admiration, justice, and tolerance for being who they are? Absolutely not. "Love your neighbor as yourself" does not contain any exceptions for conditions or behaviors you find objectionable. It is not gay people that God objects to it is gay sex, which is included in immorality just like adultery. It is unfortunate that our visitors are painting us with the broad brush of hateful rhetoric coming from the political religious right who do not speak for all Christians anymore than the Pope does. If you are gay, not a Christian, go live your life in peace we don't have any argument, however, if you are a Christian and are attempting to invalidate God's truth we do have a difference that can only be settled through the teachings of the Bible. |
