I don't automatically agree with people when they say that they're homosexual because there is no evidence that there is such a thing. There's evidence that there are people who engage in the practice of what the Bible calls sodomy but there is no evidence that there are people who have a permanent orientation toward homosexuality, in fact there's 2,000-year-old evidence that there are people who practiced homosexuality who called themselves homosexuals who according to 1 Corinthians chapter 6 were not that anymore. Now this might shock you, but the next time somebody asks you "why did God make me gay?"...say He didn't, being homosexual is not the same thing as being black or white or being male or female. It's not the same thing, it's not an unchangeable characteristic and nobody has proven otherwise there is zero biological evidence that there is an immutable characteristic if there was biological evidence then you could prove that somebody was homosexual after they died all you have to do is do an autopsy you just do a postmortem go into the brain and find that area in the brain that homosexuals have oh wait what nothing in the brain. Okay, well go into the genes and find that Gene to oh wait nothing in the genes either? Well, I heard about a pheromone study where you go into the pH, oh really that was not...huh there's absolutely nothing? Nothing that proves that there is such a thing as a person who is a homosexual. There are people who practice homosexuality but there is nothing in the world, nothing that demonstrates that there is a class or category of people who are immutably and unchangeably homosexuals just like I'm immutably and unchangeably a white person, it doesn't exist although the majority out there believe that it does because you've been told the lie over and over and over and over again. You hear so many stories of "I've known all my life, I knew it when I was a little boy, or I knew it when I was a little girl. No, you didn't...you didn't even have sexual thoughts of those kind when you were a little boy or a little girl you didn't even develop sexually back then. How could you possibly have known about your sexual orientation? That's a ridiculous lie that they've told themselves and us and we let people get away with it all the time and we shouldn't. The other problem with this line of argumentation of course is that Paul in Romans chapter 1 also addresses women who engage in unnatural practices with other women. So, if all Paul was dealing with was the practice of pederasty in the Pagan Greco Roman world where men used boys for sex...then please somebody tell me why he also addressed women who engaged in that practice with other women when that wasn't the same as pederasty in the Greco Roman world. You see people are just hoping that we just sort of look over that. They may bring up some ancient Greek literature and they use this, and they use that, and we're supposed to go "WOW, I didn't know that" maybe that was what Paul was talking about. No afraid not it's not the only literature in existence. Paul wouldn't have been ignorant of what they're talking about and that doesn't address the issue of the women. Here's the other problem, if we make the argument that this practice is acceptable because of an orientation then what do we do with the pedophile who says..."this is my orientation I've known it forever. I as an adult man am oriented toward young boys or young girls it's just my orientation and since it's my orientation and we're accepting orientations then you have to accept it." What if I'm just oriented toward violence toward women, I beat my wife you get upset with me and I say "whoa...whoa this is my orientation. I've known since I was little boy that I was oriented toward violence and particularly against females so how can you judge me for this violence against my wife when obviously it's my orientation." Promiscuity? I run around with all different kinds of women, but hey it's my orientation I've known it for a long time. So now all of a sudden if we accept this argument, there are a whole lot of other things where we have to say okay it's a sin unless of course you feel deeply because remember there's no biological evidence whatsoever right? It's a sin unless you feel deeply that you're oriented in this way and of course if you feel deeply that you're oriented in this way then all bets are off. You don't have to pay attention to what the Bible says in regard to sexual sin...do you see how complicated this becomes? By the way even if we do ever have biological evidence that doesn't change things. Why? Well, if we find a gay gene and we say well here ya go, okay now this person has it. Genetically we know that this person is predisposed to homosexuality okay so it's not a sin anymore. So, if I'm genetically predisposed to alcoholism and by the way there's more evidence for that than there is for homosexuality. Anyhow, I'm genetically predisposed to alcoholism, do I get a pass y'all because I have a genetic predisposition therefore it's not sin. I'm genetically predisposed to be violent particularly against women. Do I get a pass? Do you follow what I'm saying? So, this is the problem with that line of argumentation...but know this it's absolutely run amuck among young Christians in the Western World especially in America where it seems everyone has elevated self above Christ.
