The basic premise of the World, or the secular society, is the following premise:
Homosexuality is a biological issue, as such a homosexual has no control over their preference, they are born homosexual, as such it is wrong to class it as a sin, or something wrong.
Blind post.
What is happening, actually, is that research into the origins of homosexuality is showing it to be more psycho-social than biological. Twin studies - studies of monozygotic twins, one of whom is gay - show a less than 50% concordance rate. If homosexuality was entirely genetic, and if genes had the power to direct human behaviour precisely and powerfully, as some like to contend, then the rate of concordance would have been 100%.
Brain studies, hormone studies, and assorted other such studies have been shown to be either faulty in their selection of subjects in some way, or highly inconclusive in their findings concerning the role of genes in this (and, really, any) behaviour.
At most, genes
might possibly impose
a tendency toward such behaviour, but they don't ever function as a sort of chromosomal programming,
forcing a person into homosexual behaviour. Instead, it appears that family, personality, cultural influences, friends, and negative sexual experiences do far more to dispose a man to homosexual conduct than do his genetics.
In any case, we all of us must resist various sinful impulses every day. For some, the temptation to adultery confronts them; for others, the temptation to fornication, or temper, or gossip, or lying, or gluttony, or whatever, faces them. God doesn't say to these so tempted, "If the temptation is strong and persistent, you may yield to it as a victim of your disposition. If the culture and fellow Christians encourage you in your sin, go ahead and do it." No, instead, He offers Himself as the means of escape from the sin
and death (
Romans 6:23; James 1:15) that is luring them, promising to transform each tempted person such that they may win free of the power of the temptation fully and permanently (
1 Corinthians 10:13).
Some want to squirm out from under the explicit and repeated biblical condemnation of homosexuality by way of diminishing the authority of Scripture, making themselves the Final Arbiter of its truth, or they want to argue that all references to homosexuality were only to temple prostitution, not to long-term, monogamous homosexual relationships, or that biblical prohibitions of homosexuality were entirely cultural artifacts, no longer pertinent or binding in today's cultural context. Essentially, they employ the devil's tactic in Eden with Eve when he said to her, "Did God really say...?" (
Genesis 3:1)
Of the first objection, there is so much to say it really would require its own thread. But of the second and third objections, Scripture does not ever explicitly attach its condemnation of homosexuality only to temple prostitution or culture.
Leviticus 18:22 explicitly prohibits a man lying with a man sexually as with a woman; no mention of temple practices, no caveats of relationship or culture, just the act of a man having sexual relations with another man is forbidden and condemned.
This is true of
Romans 1:21-31, as well. Paul does not discuss temple prostitution practices, though he goes into some detail outlining the process of degradation encompassing homosexual acts. Why, if his thought was only to condemn temple prostitution, did he not make this clear? Surely, he knew that homosexuality existed outside of temple practices and that his remarks in
Romans 1 could (and would) be easily applied to all homosexual behaviour. Despite this very evident prospect, Paul spreads a net of condemnation of homosexuality in his remarks in
Romans 1 that covers all homosexual (and lesbian) conduct.
Does what I've written here mean I hate homosexuals or that I am irrationally fearful (homophobic) of them? No. We are all of us sinners, by God's grace winning free of the wicked things that lure us into sin and death. I have worked with, and trained (I taught a martial art for 20+ years), homosexuals. My brother-in-law - with whom I get along perfectly well - is homosexual. I have extended God's love and grace to those who are caught in this sin just as God has done with me, caught, as I have been, in my own sins.
But, for all of His love and grace, God does not approve, or tolerate, my sin. He hates sin - all of it - and will judge and punish all sin from which we have not repented, that we have not confessed as sin, and from which we have not sought His cleansing forgiveness through Christ. That includes gossip and gluttony just as much as it does homosexual acts.
1 Corinthians 6:9-11
9 Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals,
10 nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God.
11 Such were some of you; but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.
