Likewise if the Bible said everyone with brown eyes is going to hell because it is a sin to have brown eyes. How just would that be? You can't help having brown eyes. You were born with brown eyes.

If we can tell when an earthly judge is being just in his decisions, then how much more will the judge of the whole earth be?
We are altogether concieved in sin and shapen in iniquity. This flesh is vile. The reality is that no man is born righteous, all men are born with a disposition toward sin.

Good point this is why I contend people can be born that way. Not that people are literally born gay, but all are conceived in sin and born into sin. It is all sin, but somehow it is view as a 'worse' sin to be gay or something. I believe that a person must make a choice to follow or not follow that lifestyle. To some is seems so natural and that is, IMO, cause to use humans sin is natural. Sin is our nature until we change our nature and become spiritually lead.

Inclinations toward behavior and the choice to do those things are very different. I'm a straight male...I like women. I have chosen to flee fornication and be faithful to my wife. lol

The inclination of the natural man is there...but I choose not to act on it.

I think it's similar with gays. They have an inclination to act on their attraction to the same gender...but they choose to act or not to act on it.
