Well, if God made gay people gay, then what about the kleptos? Is stealing not a sin for them anymore because they're "born that way?" I don't think so. Not that I buy in to this business of people being born gay or any of this. Our genetic makeup does not condemn us to commit certain sins for the rest of our lives.
This is an excellent starting point!
We have been taught that if people are born gay, then it would be as a result of their genetic makeup, which would be in direct contradiction to what we have been taught about what the Bible says concerning this subject. So, which is right? What we have been taught, or, what the scientific community and our own experience from knowing such people for years? Or could the position that I have come to believe is the most logical, be the truth?
For example, one poster in this thread brought up the Sodom and Gomorrah story. They committed many sins, but the one that finally brought God to send angels to investigate them was the one that is very common....
in prisons. The 'kingpins' of any prison either perform this act themselves, or have it done for them by their soldiers. This act works to humiliate and totally break down the would-be challenger to them. It is clear by reading the Genesis account that this was the goal of the leader/s of Sodom. It is very obvious that every man, woman, and child (Gen.19:4) of Sodom were not gay. They were very evil, depraved, and straight (heterosexual).
Genesis 19:4-9 (King James Version)
4But before they lay down, the men of the city, even the men of Sodom, compassed the house round, both old and young, all the people from every quarter:
5And they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where are the men which came in to thee this night? bring them out unto us, that we may know them.
6And Lot went out at the door unto them, and shut the door after him,
7And said, I pray you, brethren, do not so wickedly.
8Behold now, I have two daughters which have not known man; let me, I pray you, bring them out unto you, and do ye to them as is good in your eyes: only unto these men do nothing; for therefore came they under the shadow of my roof.
9And they said, Stand back. And they said again, This one fellow came in to sojourn, and he will needs be a judge: now will we deal worse with thee, than with them. And they pressed sore upon the man, even Lot, and came near to break the door.
