Quote From: appsasThere seem to be many people who believe that homosexuality is a choice. I imagine for some people it is. But ... consider for a moment that you are born that way. I mean, couldn't it be possible? For those of us who have had children, we know what an incredible miracle each stage of development in the womb is. At any given time though, something could go wrong ... with any number of things. I'm not at all saying that being gay is wrong, but making the point that MILLIONS of things happen neurologically, hormonally, physically during the development of a fetus. Why couldn't this be one of them?
For those of you who continually quote the Bible on this issue ... are you conveniently picking and choosing which versus to take literally to make your argument, or are you praciticing what the ENTIRE Bible says word for word?
Homosexuality is a choice. It is possible you were born with the choice to make a decision, because Gods word tells us that, but to try to pass off your personal beliefs as a developmental function during the birth process is wrong. I do not claim to judge homosexuality, but I do claim to know the trueth and strive daily to pursue a right relationship with God.
Your personal beliefs are just that; personal. They are between you and God, because I already know the trueth. I do not need a defence for living right; all I need is Gods hand directing me along my path and a hope that everything will be okay.
And thier is an argumnet that can be fought if you consider that the Bible clearly states that a husband and wife are to become one flesh once they are married. It does not anywhere; where I read brings homosexuality into marriage. It also convey in the begining of the Bible that as the womans part in the relationship she is to multipy the families size. Same sex relationships can not mutiply through the natural process of sex created and intended for a female and male companionship. Why did God create Eve for Adam? She was to be his companion. His wife. To bare Adams children. If same sex relationships were okay then God would have given Adam another man to partener with, but instead he gives woman and later he destroys a city built on homosexuality.
It is my personal belief that Gods word instructs us how to live and I have made the choice to live my life in Christ. You belief as you do. That is your personal belief. Right or wrong. Do not judge those that are dedicated to chosing thier own beliefs.
I have read several of the messages posted on the board and I can understand both sides of this issue, because I have a cousin that lives as a christrian, but uses the excuse that she was born with homosexuality. I can love my cousin, but I do not have to accept the lifestyle she has choosen to live. I do not have to surround myself or my daughter around that kind of behavior, but I can love her and I can pray for her and I can know the trueth and not allow it to affect my relationship with my cousin. She understands my beliefs and she tries to be considerate of that by not flaunting her personal beliefs around my impressionable child. Expressing who we are no matter who we are takes consideration and respect.
