Yes, but:
Two points. I don't think that in most cases the point of copulation is to conceive, nor is conception a necessary outcome of copulation. Second point: Sex is no longer required for procreation. There are a few different artificial routes to conceive.
But, the ONLY way two homosexuals can have a baby is if they go OUTSIDE their sexual interaction and inlist another party. Any baby MUST involve both male and female in some form or another. Homosexuals may produce babies, but not by performing as a homosexual. Either their egg must be inseminated outside that union, or they must pass their sperm so that an egg is fertilized outside their union. Either way, such a person is not being true to his/her supposed "natural" orientation.
Since you cannot discribe the "in vitro fertilization" process as ASEXUAL, it is most certainly not homosexual in nature. We still need a female's egg and a male's sperm. We still need a host female to carry the baby to term (certainly more "convenient" for a woman.). It is as simple as that. Try not to rationalize sin.
Sorry, the truth rings clear. There is no getting around it. You must simply ignore such offending verses, or question the inerrancy of scripture. Both of which compulsive sinners do, if they cannot stand to face the truth..... The chapter says what it says.
Honestly, I have reservations with such rationalizations. If the parents only need help in the process (the use of his sperm and her egg) that is one thing. There are far too many orphan children in this world for people to be needing to find surrogates to have (their baby). If that is what it can really be called. I like to think of it as GOD's baby.
My point is that you need to decide what is important. Is your sexual orientational practices important (you cannot live without them) OR is being a father or mother important (and you want to nuture a child in the way of GOD). You cannot have both and be consistant or fair to that child. To be a parent one must be willing to place himself /herself in second place. I do not feel homosexuals have what it takes and remain in that "lifestyle."
You attempt to practice both. The future will tell exactly how well you did. But if you are a parent, if isn't because of being a homosexual ---- it is in spite of it. The same cannot be said of me, my wife and OUR son.
So the fact that my parents were gay automatically makes them bad parents? My mother was/is not willing to makes sacrifices for me? Since you know so much about how I was raised by my homosexual parents, perhaps you can help me figure out why I have an overwhelming fear of sharks? I could potentially save some cash on some future therapy bills, thanks.
Don't homosexuals rationalize their begotry towards heterosexual "Bible thumpers?"
