Hi Crystal,
You are right, we all have freewill. We all make decisions by our own freewill. You are right that homosexuality is not according to God's will. You are right that nurturing has a lot to do with it and freewill... choice. The Catholic Church also believes this too.
Also, there is some scientific proof that some people have more estrogen than others and some have more nestrone. I'm not even close to an expert on this subject and I don't know that much about science either, but I have read that information in a few medical type magazines. I don't know what to think of it either.
One thing that I do know though, is that we all have temptation to work through and to overcome in our life. No one is perfect here on earth. If someone is attracted to the same sex, but by their freewill, they resist that temptation and pray and ask God to help them to overcome this attraction and they daily die to self... shouldn't that mean something?
We all have sinned and come short of the glory of God... none are perfect, none at all. It is only by God's grace that there is any hope for any of us, because we all are sinners... we all have a "thorn in the side", a heavy burden to bare, in one way or another.
Remember the story about when Jesus was with the people and while he was talking to the people, the Sadduccees and the Pharisees brought Jesus a woman and accused her of adultery... What did Jesus do? He bent down and started writing on the ground... most people believe that he was writing the sins of the accusers and as He was writing one by one they started to walk away...
John 8:1-11 1 but Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. 2 Early in the morning he came again to the temple; all the people came to him, and he sat down and taught them. 3 The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught in adultery, and placing her in the midst 4 they said to him, "Teacher, this woman has been caught in the act of adultery. 5 Now in the law Moses commanded us to stone such. What do you say about her?" 6 This they said to test him, that they might have some charge to bring against him. Jesus bent down and wrote with his finger on the ground. 7 And as they continued to ask him, he stood up and said to them, "Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her." 8 And once more he bent down and wrote with his finger on the ground. 9 But when they heard it, they went away, one by one, beginning with the eldest, and Jesus was left alone with the woman standing before him. 10 Jesus looked up and said to her, "Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?" 11 She said, "No one, Lord." And Jesus said, "Neither do I condemn you; go, and do not sin again."
What did Jesus say... "Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her...
Then near the end.... Her accusers were gone and Jesus looked at the woman and said... "Where are they? Has no one condemned you?" She said, "No one, Lord." And Jesus said, "Neither do I condemn you; go, and then he gave her a commandment... a string attachment...
He said... go, and do not sin again....
Temptation, lust, pre-marital sex, lying, adultery... alcoholism, drug abuse, selfishness, unkindness, revenge taking, hate.... these all are sins too and yet when we are tempted, and we resist... that is a good thing...
When a homosexual is tempted to act upon this sin, but he/she resist... isn't that also a good thing?
I hope this makes some sense.
God be with you and yours always,
Debbie
