Point being that children are not raised to be gay or persuaded.
Thank you for asking.

Point being that children are not raised to be gay or persuaded.God promises death to any who sin but this doesn't stop mankind from being incredibly wicked every day. What's your point?
Shamefully no. The only contact I've had with women (that did lead to marriage) was arranged by 3rd parties. I am not exactly Cassanova, not only have I never been approached, they all run like chickens in the farm yard when I show an interest.
Nevertheless I have been heterosexual and known it since perhaps a younger age than I should have.
No, if there is a biological imperative controlling homosexuality (ie. genes), then there should be a 100% rate of concordance among monozygotic twins. But there isn't.

So why then do churches continually try pushing a man into Adam and Steve type relationships when clearly they spend far to much time with men already and above all need the feminine in their lives?
If there is no genetic effect on homosexuality, you would expect to see 3%.
No one that I know thinks there's a "gay gene."
What matters from an ethical point of view is that people don't normally choose to be gay.
People don't choose to be alcoholics, but it's a behavior that has to be controlled.
There's no way to avoid the basic question of whether the behavior should be accepted or rejected.

Thank you for asking.
That would mean that sexual orientation is 100% biological. Your study is correct that sexual orientation is not 100% dictated by biology. Both nature and nurture are involved and not at any fixed percentage rates. All evidence shows that it is a combination.
No worries, there are many theological issues with respect to which I am actually lazy because I don't have time to study them. Work, family etc. I just object to this notion that homosexuality is a kind of king of all sins. It simply is not as everyone who has studied the words of our Lord Jesus. It very well might be a sin - as an act but not as an inclination - but definitely not the sin. There are murder, lying, adultery (which our Lord especially condemned) and many more.Hi Marcus,
No,I was really referring to what you said about being theologically lazy in general,but I realize that might be better left for a different board. I also could have worded it better.
you should listen to yourself sometime.I think he's referring to those that practice such things. Practicing homosexuals are no different than practicing thieves. Who are no different than practicing adulterers, who are no different than practicing liars or drunkards. As Paul said, let him that stole, steal no more. I think it would be equally true to say let him that has sex with other men commit that sin no more.
so anyone who is not married is defying Jesus?“And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female, And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.”
Matthew 19:4-6 KJV
Well He is clear on a proper marriage. And once again, to disagree with Jesus is anti-christian and shows conformity to the culture.
Considering god mandated almost all of these i have to think they were approved of.Just because it is in the Bible doesnt mean it is approved of by God. The entire story if the Bible is how we are sinners and need redemption + rape is never condoned in the Bible
I'm sure female prisoners of war felt very protectedEven these are not regarded ae the ideal practise, but are a concession to men and to regulate/protect the women.
why would you say that? eye color doesn't have a a 100% rate of concordance among monozygotic twins, Neither does left handedness, adult height, type I diabetes or just about any genetically determined trait you can nameNo, if there is a biological imperative controlling homosexuality (ie. genes), then there should be a 100% rate of concordance among monozygotic twins. But there isn't.
i have never heard of any research even hinting at this. Could you post some references?Instead, what research is showing is that homosexuality is driven by psycho-social factors, not biology. It turns out that personality, family dynamics, and social pressures have much more to do with homosexuality than anything biological.
proof pleaseBaloney. They most certainly are. Homosexuality is promoted in public schools, on a myriad of t.v. shows, movies and newscasts, and in literature. My nephew was telling me recently about many of his fellow students sincerely urging him to turn to the gay lifestyle because he didn't have a girlfriend. There is enormous cultural pressure upon kids in North America to seriously consider homosexuality and that successfully provokes a growing number of them into it.
I agree,sin is sin.There is only one unforgivable sin.No worries, there are many theological issues with respect to which I am actually lazy because I don't have time to study them. Work, family etc. I just object to this notion that homosexuality is a kind of king of all sins. It simply is not as everyone who has studied the words of our Lord Jesus. It very well might be a sin - as an act but not as an inclination - but definitely not the sin. There are murder, lying, adultery (which our Lord especially condemned) and many more.
What part of “No” do you not understand? God made you the way you are. Stop worrying about it.Is it wrong to have a Homosexual orientation? Does a person choose to have a Homosexual orientation or not ? Should someone with a Homosexual orientation try to change their orientation and make themselves into a Heterosexual ? Is it sinful to find men attractive?
Where exactly in the bible is that written, emmylou ?What part of “No” do you not understand? God made you the way you are. Stop worrying about it.
There is no statistical link between lawlessness and sexual orientation.
So your analysis fails in the real world.
