[QUOTE="rjs330, post: 75801296, member: 377008"] I'm afraid you've entered the world of wild speculation. Paul was operating under divine inspiration which means words mean things. Instead of providing an exegisis of the entire passage let's just look at the particular one you are interested in. Paul uses the words thnleiai or females and arsenes or males. So it's not a single persons nature. He is speaking in broad terms of makes and females. Plural. Secondly the words are psusuknv xpnsiv which is natural use or function. Women changed their natural function to go against nature or native condition. Paul goes further as an explanation by pointing out that men leave the natural function OF THE FEMALE and burn in desire for other males. He has declared there is a natural function of each for the other. The male natural function is for the female and vice versa. Males and females turn from that natural use function to change or leave that function. So you see it's not "born with" the nature of a homosexual. It's an actual LEAVING or CHANGING the function of use of men for women and women for men. He talks of the difference if desire or passion which leads one to leave it change their natural use of women for men and men for women to women for women and men for men. Men committing shameful acts with men. The acts are the leaving that which is the natural use of women to commit those acts with other men. In this case God has given them up to a reprobate mind. A mind that God cannot approve and must be rejected by Him. They don't have God in their knowledge. Thus anything the homosexual says or does to justify their behavior comes from that reprobate mind. In Romans 1:21-23 Paul explains the problem. Because of the rejection of God their thinking is futile and their minds are senseless. Their thinking is dark. They assert wisdom but are actually fools. This is why they have changed their natural use and function. [/QUOTE]
