Re: CeCe Winans under fire for singing at Gay chur

I've tried to study it out and apparently some scholars say that there are three types of eunuchs in ancient history.

- Men who had been castrated.

- Men who were born with deficient male anatomy.

- Men who voluntarily chose not to marry.

According to some scholars those men who voluntarily chose to be a eunuch and rejected marriage as a life choice are described in the Babylonian Talmud. These are described as being, "He whose voice is abnormal so that one cannot distinguish whether it is that of a man or of a woman." So some scholars think that men with homosexual inclinations may have chosen to voluntarily live the life of a eunuch in biblical times.

I once read about how homosexual brains react to same gender pheromone whereas they don't respond to opposite gender pheromone. So there may be a biological component indicating a "pre-disposition" or "inclination" toward this attraction. But clearly one has to choose to give into such attraction just as ordinary males or females would normal attraction. So there is a choice involved even if on some level there's a biological component.

But I have this much to say...

If homosexuality is entirely a choice...I know a Jesus that forgives.

If homosexuality is the result of abuse or pain....I know a Jesus that mends and restores.

If homosexuality is the result of biology on some level...I know a Jesus that can miraculously heal the infirmities of our flesh.

I personally don't believe homosexuals can be counseled into being straight. I believe that homosexuals who are truly seeking God's mercy and grace need a miracle to be set free. Obviously much patience and understanding is needed to minister to struggling homosexuals.

Just my opinion.
