I would say if people were born gay then we would not have to cull them because that gene would be removed from the breeding pool by itself. I do believe some people have a higher disposition to do many things. That does not mean that we have to behave in a manner or not. What I do not like is that some people want me to say their lifestyle is normal or that I approve. I do not approve of many things and as long as you don't shove it in my face I will not say anything. But do not expect me to be silent when you keep putting something in my face.
If I unbuttoned my shirt and walked around with my hairy chest stuck out talking about women as objects. Or if I wlked around at work talking about heterosexual things and pointed out that I was a heterosexual I would expect to get fired. Should I say I am suffering from discrimination? Sorry heterosexual is normal. A man and a woman having a child is normal. Sorry put any two people on an island alone and there will only be children if they are different sexes. So anything else is un-natural. Chosing to go through a surgery to change your body does not mean that I can't have an opnion. It does not make you a protected class because you were not born that way.
I will pray for them and show God's love to the people. But I will not support any homosexual agenda. I will not watch a movie, a show, listen to the songs, or anything else of someone that actively annouces they are gay or acts in an immoral way. I refuse to listen to Madonna because she flaunts her immorality and uses it to make money. I put shows about adultery in the same group.
Go read your Bible.
1 Corinthians 6:9 Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders 10 nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.
So lets just look at who is on the list:
1. the sexually immoral
2. idolaters
3. adulterers
4. male prostitutes
5. homosexual offenders
6. thieves
7. the greedy
8. drunkards
9. slanderers
10. swindlers
So be careful to judge. That is in the Bible too. If you read the Bible you will see that if your talk bad about people you are a slanderer and on the some list. If you have had a time that you went and got drunk on purpose you are on that list. If you have cheated someone you are on the list. I would guess that eveyone is at least one thing on the list. Should I stand up and say that being a drunk is normal? What about thievery or the other things? Then I will not say homosexuality is normal. But the Good News or also called Gospel is that we all still have hope. Just read what is after the list. 1 Corinthians 6:11 And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.
How many people know John 3:16 but what about John 3:17? John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,[a] that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.
I do not care if some is born a way or not. God can change anyone if they pray and ask for it. We are told to come to God as we are not as what others say we should be. The Gospels are are great and the Old Testiment or the Jewish books are needed to fully understand them. But nothing is as important as seeking God first. When I look at what God forgave in me it makes it hard to judge others. There is a Parable about that too. Jesus said that the parables were used so only the believers could understand them. Now that would seem to exclude the non believers. But I think it shows the order of importance. First seek God and then more will be revealed. But if you don't seek God first then the rest does not matter. Without love nothing else matters. That is in the Bible too, if you don't believe me then go read it.
Dub,
you said a mouthful right there... :)good post.
I also was thinking that in the old days it was a secret to be gay and so many married to hide it thus a never ending cycle of gays.
Now that it is ok to flaunt it the gays do not have to marry and have kids to hide being gay... hopefully this will help in removing the faulty genes from the gene pool...right or wrong this has crossed my mind...
When I was a kid gay meant being happy.
