Romans 1 calls it sin, not to mention Levitcus. Jesus speaks against perversions, and the Catholic church calls the behavior sin. What more proof do you need?IDK lol, probably say it’s still beyond people’s control.
I disagree that it’s a sin, but that’s really not the point of this thread;
That it’s not genetic? scientific evidence.
There is no scientific study that proves that it is genetic, it has never been proven. I do know much about the environmental causes of which I can attest to from my own experience, and many other people who have had the same experience. Books back me up on this explaining the psychological causes and how hurt, abuse, rejection and neglect can claim a big role in the development of these feelings and the development of the human being as well. Other than that, there are others who felt that way all their lives who claim they have never had any of these environmental factors. This has been talked about before. I urge you to read some of the previous posts on the subject.
My sister in law has breast cancer, and is fighting it with all her will. There could be a genetic link. If there is, should she stop fighting?
You need to read the New Testament to see that all of the Jewish dietary laws are no longer required. as for the other things you mentioned they are still sins, only the punishment changes. With the New Testament we become more concerrned with the spiritual punishment for our sins than the physical
Nobody here said anything whatsoever about homosexual behavior being a contagious disease. They did say that environment can lead a person to engagge in homosexual behavior. There is less dispute about this than here is that there is a genetic component the same sex attraction.
One of the most interesting things I find in discussing morality is only with sexual sin do we find people telling us not to to judge and live and let live. you never hear somebody, for instance , say don’'t condemn that person for stealing because that would be judgmental. We should just live and let live. but that seems to be the standard rebuttal when ever the morality of homosexual behavior is discussed
Whenever we get into these discusssions about whether same-sex attraction is genetic I always think of Flip Wilson and his line" the devil made me do it"
While i agree with that statement, I have to say that frequently the basis for deciding good and bad is skewed. For example, homosexuality as it exists today did not even exist in Biblical times. The word changed meaning form then to now, just as we’ve seen gay transform from homosexual to stupid in our own lifetimes.
Of course it did.
Homosexual behavior, other than in cases of homosexual rape, is always a choice.
Just as we should not accept divorce or breast cancer, which could have similar origins as homosexuality, we should not accept homosexuality.
but it wasn’t know as homosexuality. in the time the Bible was written, homosexuality was something greek teenagers did and just had sex whit everyone, not monogamous relationships with someone of the same gender.
There is no proof of that. I know that the pro-honosexual "rights "crowd has come up with new and improved interpretations of history and of scripture(my favorite is that God leveled Soddom and Gomorah because Lot wouldnt invite strangers in for dinner) but you will not find any of these revisionist views occuring prior to the rise of the homosexual “rights” movement.
Of course not, people were too scared to say so.
Say what? ???
People back then won’t brave enough to speak up about it, I wouldn’t of been either, people were so ignorant back then.
And your proof of this is?
Do I really need to list proof? ask people who lived back before the gay rights movement began in the late 60’s, people were racist, homophobic, and many other things.
