Is being gay genetic? Folks, that is what gay activitists and leftist scientists are trying to have us believed. They are poisoning the mind of young folks. If they got the general public acceptance, then they can easily push their agenda i.e. same sex marriage, etc. I don’t think it is genetic, but a lifestyle. It takes two (man and woman) to variate genes and produce offspring. If gay people are genetically gay, they, as a subspecies, would die out thousand of years ago. They can’t reproduce themselves. Because they can’t reproduce, evolution has taken over. And they all die out. That is the reality of evolution if we believe in it. Am I right?

I agree, those who support evolution in hopes of disproving God are only disproving their own theories on how homosexuality is genetic.

I have no doubts that homosexuals feel strong, sincere urges and attraction to the same sex, however, that doesn’t mean it’s due to genetics. I believe it is more along the lines of a “fetish” or disorder than anything. It’s the experiences that you have growing up that shape what you find attractive. Just because you have an attraction to something or a compulsion to act out in a certain way doesn’t mean it is necessarily wise to do so. There are people with a disorder who fantasize about engaging in sexual acts with deceased persons and some that even do, but I doubt you’ll see our government legalizing that ‘right’ any time soon.

God does not request I change my orientation. Men do. There is no sin in the orientation. By itself it is not deadly. I live a productive life just like any other person on this planet. I don’t see how it compares to a brain defect. Like I said don’t sell me any reparative therapy because there is nothing in need of repair.

Jim, I agree that you probably can’t change your “orientation”.

Not acting on your same sex attractions is admirable.

I reread your posts, and I believe we are actually in agreement, except in the area of whether God creates each of us a certain way (with defects mental or physical) or whether it just happens because of the fall.

Either way, you are loved by God with an immense love, just like everybody else.

I could just as easily be said that extreme zealots and rightist preachers are brainwashing just the opposite. You always have to look at both sides of the issue, not just the side you’re on.

You can question it, but it is the inspired word of God. “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was God”. Genesis 1.

The Word IS God but it was recorded and processed by humans who have been corrupted by sin 7 days after they were created.

True, but the bible says they were inspired by God. God works through us and in us, and if you don’t believe that, you underestimate the power of God. I’ve seen Him work through many people by what they say and do. They couldn’t have gotten “everything” wrong, in fact, they got most of it right. If you don’t believe me, just ask the Lord to show you the truth.

I agree with you, including the “most,” part. Inspired by God yes, but what is stopping a corrupted writer from tweaking it for a personal advantage? Also, it may not even by that the words were changed, just mistranslated. I mean look how many versions there are in the present day. And consider how long it survived underground, mistakes are inevitable, we’re only human.

I agree, many different translations, you would think they would have translated different meanings through it all. But I think the basic truths are still in there. There was mention that of all the translations done over many years, the main truth that God wanted to convey has been preserved, and the only One who could have done that would have been the Lord as we are very much fallible.

Main truths, like love God and love your neighbor, yes. But other minor things, like homosexuality, may have gotten totally twisted.

If the Bible is wrong about homosexuality how can I possibly know it is right about the resurrection ,love your neighbor or care for the poor or or anything else that says?

Can you tell me what insights have been granted to you to show Scripture is wrong in this area that have eluded all those who have read it for the last 2400 years? Does it surprise you in any way that the areas you think Scripture is wrong in just happen to interfere with the way you want to live your life

Because, why?

Maybe I’m supposed to love myself and forget the rest of you. Just a little twisting, you know.

I have a question for you, and I am totally serious about this.

If God thinks that homosexuality is okay as both an orientation and as something to act on, why is he only telling homosexuals? Shouldn’t he be telling the Pope, James Dobson, Donald Wildman; you know, all the people who are against that right now?

Whiel scripture prohibits homosexual acts it is totally silent on the orientation. I think God is fine with the orientation.

I think the orientation is just one of the many ways that humanity has been warped by the Fall.

There is absolutely no reason to treat us as subhuman or whatever just because of a homosexual orientation. We are human beings just like anyone else.
 
Jim,
I’m not saying that the orientation makes you a bad person. It’s a very complicated question. We are all not as God intended, due to the fall.

A homosexual orientation is an especially hard burden to bear, because it prohibits one from having a life partner that includes a sexual relationship. That’s a tough life that I wouldn’t want to be called to.

But, just read these forums for a day, and you can see that we are all broken in some way. We are all struggling to work out our salvation.

Gay pride is all about not being ashamed of who you are and embracing diversity.

I don’t claim to be a history scholar, but I have been quite active in studying it.

Not being ashamed to buy sex from underage boys (or girls), or not be ashamed to sell one’s body for money?

Is that the type of diversity we really want?

To promote prostitution with children?
 
From everything I’ve discovered about homosexuality…is that it is a spectrum… with varying degrees… Seems that we all go “through” a same sex attraction…for someone… as we develop…but we are supposed to go THROUGH it… Sadly, some get “stuck” … Why this happens and how deeply it imprints on the individual is a matter of NATURE/NURTURE. The “nature” part is what our genetic material has been exposed to via environmental influences… such as water containing synthetic hormones… air containing pesticides and our parents chromosomes and DNA being affected by the food the ate…the drugs and alcohol they consumed…and the birth control agents absorbed…(even men absorb the synthetic hormones via the female’s mucus)… The “nurture” part is the dynamics of the home environment… absentee fathers… struggling, stressed out mothers… out of control brothers and sisters… school environment… peers and body image… name calling… lack of participation in sports… etc. etc. are also a part of this disorder
There is no such thing as “homo sexuality”…only BROKEN HETROSEXUALITY… so what caused the “break” is multifacited and I would say that most families that have any type of addiction or divorce going on… or absentee parenting… has been affected.

I would like to translate this:

Gay pride is all about not being ashamed of who you are and embracing deviancy.
