I have a sugestion Maria. For those who insist on defining sexuality and gender identity the same thing, I emphatically tell them to talk to the hand! Enough is enough. For one to equate the two s the same thinig is idiocy or severe ignorance, and should totally disqualitfy them from having anyright to an opinion on either subject since they have no clue on what they are talking about whatsoever. Attitudes like that disgust me to the max!I feel deeply disheartened by this statement. I am a transgendered girl who is also bisexual. However, I love god and I have not confused my desire to be perfected by god with my gender identity nor my sexuality. I am also disheartened that you believe that gender identity and sexuality are interchangeable. My desire for god has, in no way, been corrupted into my natural feelings that are a gift of god, a cross that I bear that will only make me stronger. I do know god, I do not transfer this desire into others. I have taken a vow of celibacy and I have taken to living my life as how I feel, I have also taken to helping people come to know god. I have no desire for anyone or anything other than the divinely intelligent creator and his son that died for us. Perhaps many people of variant/different sexualities and gender identities have not been able to find god, but not all. Do not ever try to represent an entire group as anything. When you say most or all, that is when you enter the realm of fiction.
The homosexual act is always a choice.Oh wow… wow. Homosexuality is caused by both genes and enviornment. Personally I would put more emphasis on genetics. Whatever I read went to memory dump real quick. I swear I could feel my I.Q. dropping. That’s like a religious version of the Oedipus complex in an attempt to make homosexuality “a choice”. Though I must admit there have been studies that show the type of relationship a person has with there parents does have some influence.
No - God does not work against His own natural law. This and other human conditions are a result of the fall.Maybe people are gay, lesbian, bisexual or trans-gendered because God made them that way.
Well, disregarding my deterministic beliefs I still must ask. In your opinion do genes and environmental causations make the choice harder?The homosexual act is always a choice.
We all have to overcome concupiscence. We are all called to self mastery.Well, disregarding my deterministic beliefs I still must ask. In your opinion do genes and environmental causations make the choice harder?
That’s what people who have it easy say.We all have to overcome concupiscence. We are all called to self mastery.
God still made all of us, and He made the world. None of us Chose to be born into a fallen world where we would end up this way, so still… God made people that way.No - God does not work against His own natural law. This and other human conditions are a result of the fall.
No God did not MAKE people that way. We are responsible.God still made all of us, and He made the world. None of us Chose to be born into a fallen world where we would end up this way, so still… God made people that way.
So your either saying genes don’t play a role or God doesn’t doesn’t create our genes.No God did not MAKE people that way. We are responsible.
On a scale of 1 to 10 as to how bad your theological theory fails, I’ll give you a 30. Alot of gays are gay because they were molested as children. Some are just curious and when they become curious see no problem with it. They also perhaps wish to stray from the mainstream, which, for some reason everyone catagorizes God in.What i’m trying to get across is that they are drawn to god without knowing it and this love they do not understand is changed into sexual feelings.the end of all actions and feeling is happiness and god is the perfection of all happiness. so the unconcious desire for god inherent in all human beings can be corrupted into these feelings. Since they do not know god they transfer this desire onto others.
No homosexual gene has been found.So your either saying genes don’t play a role or God doesn’t doesn’t create our genes.
Neither has one (of many I’m sure) for Autism, but its highly heritable.No homosexual gene has been found.
Epigenetics may play a part - that is the behaviors, lifestyles and environment of your parents now are known to pass to children.
You inherited your genetic makeup from your parents, from their parents and so on and so forth - all the way to Adam and Eve who had the “perfect genes” God created (preternatural gifts) . Adam is the prototypical human.
Educate me.Neither has one (of many I’m sure) for Autism, but its highly heritable.
You have no idea what Epigenetics is do you?
I’m in Psychology (good excuse no?) behaviors and lifestyles are environment. The epigenome can alter gene expression through mechanisms that are poorly or simply not understood.No homosexual gene has been found.

We live in a fallen world. Are you claiming God ordains physical evils?So your either saying genes don’t play a role or God doesn’t doesn’t create our genes.
I used environment as the chemicals, toxins, etc… a person is exposed to.I’m in Psychology (good excuse no?) behaviors and lifestyles are environment. The epigenome can alter gene expression through mechanisms that are poorly or simply not understood.
It was an axiom.We live in a fallen world. Are you claiming God ordains physical evils?
Decent analogy, there are a lot of holes in it, but its an analogy after all.I used environment as the chemicals, toxins, etc… a person is exposed to.
Epigenetics is akin to the computer software and DNA the hardware.
Why?It was an axiom.
Decent analogy, there are a lot of holes in it, but its an analogy after all.
Why don’t you just become a proponent of the Pathogenic theory of homosexuality?.. **** I forgot, that would take believing in Darwin.
