If I am wrong then prove it.
That’s because what you say on theology has as much substance as a may fly has longevity. When asked what you believe you claim that it is the same as what the Church says, but you wont actually elaborate on what you think the Church says. I’m sure John Calvin thought his beliefs were in accordance with the Bible.
Well, for one, your claim that most gay people change. But the Catholic Church admits that the desire is deep-seated (aka fairly permanent and unchanging).
Yes, we agree. To faithful Catholics, the call to chastity does not change.
The Church does not admit that homosexuality is deep seated.
I have confronted many of your posts before and instead of responding to them you come up with more unsubstantiated opinion promoted as fact. It is apparent that your goal is not to learn but to try to convince people that SSA is inherent anyway you can.
What lie? It is not a lie that they can have children. Are they not also capable of love? Are the slave to their emotions?
The lie of pretending to not be attracted/tempted to the same sex. A non-heterosexual husband may not cherish/love the wife as much as a heterosexual husband would. It would be best to be honest upfront, instead of hiding and falling to temptation and causing emotional pain for the wife when she finds out her husband had same-sex extramarital incidences.
And your link dead ends, it cites no sources on that page.
I find that given that the Jones and Yarhouse study which was funded by Exodus International and conducted by two evangelical Christians who set out to prove it can change found substantially less than half experienced complete orientation change over a decade with a sample that very much wanted to change it is highly unlikely that a substantial percent of gay people can change. The only group who have been really found to “change” “sexuality” is women and that is more of changing identity than an actual change of attractions. When men have claimed change it is usually seen to be them claiming to be straight, but then they are often exposed as not actually having changed, see Michael Bussee, Gary Cooper and John Paulk.
We should be careful here. It is by no means an inevitability that there will be “extramarital incidences.” And I shouldn’t think that there would be more same-sex incidences than opposite-sex incidences. Regardless of the type of infidelity, it is infidelity. And I wouldn’t think that fact that one may have SSA makes infidelity more likely.
All genes are heritable. The DNA sequence you are born with is the same DNA sequence you’ll die with (except for random mutations here and there). Epigenetic changes can be heritable. Epigenetic changes also occur independently of parental contribution. In fact, there are countless epigenetic changes going on in your cells right now. They determine how your body processes food, external stimuli, sleep, metabolism, pathogen protection, stem cell differentiation, etc. So…pretty much everything going on in your body.
But they happen. I’m not saying they will happen. But they do. That’s the reality. It’s not about whether SSA infidelity is more or less likely to occur.
Please already, lying is not becoming of a Christian.
But my friend that is what you and they gay lobby do. The fact is there is no definitive studies that show homosexuality is biological. Furthermore, if 100 persons read a preliminary study with suggested biological causes and decide that must be definitive proof it still does not make it true.
Please, link where you proved the math or the application was wrong.

Yes, believing that homosexuality is genetic is not sinful, but if one believes that, therefore, the practice of homosexual sex (the sin) is justifiable, and in fact, no longer sinful, they are sadly mistaken. This seems to be the aim of most the research over the past 50 years to prove the genetic origin of homosexuality, as if that would somehow make the behavior all right. Even if homosexuality were wholly genetic, which it clearly is not, it would not take away the gravity of homosexual sex, although it would greatly mitigate one’s culpability, or so I would think. It would still remain a mortal sin, I believe, but would hopefully draw the person increasingly to the confessional and a greater dependence on God and his mercy. I think that many men experience the same strong and addictive draw toward other sexual sins, such as masturbation, which “seems” altogether “natural,” and they, too, would benefit by resorting to frequent confession and greater dependence on God in their helplessness, hoping that by his grace they can put aside the wrongful behavior that seems all so strong and dominating in their lives. Correct me if I am wrong.
(sorry for chiming in uninvited)
Please, we have discussed this before. You apparently believe if you repeat a claim it must be true.
Open this link:
His argument appears to be identical twins are exposed to identical genetic influences and biological influences in the womb therefore if they don’t have identical rates of homosexuality it can’t have been caused in the womb, only the former has been shown to be false in the past decade due to epigenetic markers and the latter has been known to be untrue due to differences in things like birth weight, sometimes 25%+.
