There have always been freaks of nature, however even with all that, there is still no definitive conclusion that one is born with a desire for the same sex. I personally believe it is a spirit of perversion that one gives into at some point in their life.
But one thing we do know is this. The way God dealt with a city full of homose*uals lets us know quite plainly, just how He feels about that sin.

Votive, you have taken this term and gone way overboard with the reaction to it. It is simply a means of describing someone who is born with atypical characteristics. Whatever you do, don't read any medical documentation recording such things, it would surely shock you, if this term is offensive to you, and I certainly did not mean it to be so.

KBTW was referring to godsdrummer's post about hermaphrodites. She was calling hermaphrodites "freaks of nature". I do not believe it to be very consistent with Christ-likeness to call someone born with additional, opposite sex genitalia a "freak of nature", when God is the author of life and is the cause of many disabilities, as He said in Exodus to Moses, and etc. David wasn't and isn't the only human God "knit together" in a mother's womb.

You will lose your witness and never get another chance to evangelize that person. To call someone a freak in this way would serve no better than to call a black person "colored". It will hurt just as much, and do as much psychological damage.

What are you suggesting? That I would just walk up and call someone a freak of nature? I don't understand the overreaction I am getting from you at all. I surely would never do such a thing! smh
