Re: Homosexuality question

How come Homosexuals know they are Homosexual at 3 and Heterosexuals do not know they are Heterosexuals at 3?

Hooray

God will personally receive Timmy's son and will apologize for any hard times he has suffered.

God says that he is sorry he has caused so much trouble and we can now disregard the Bible, never mind what it says. God has decreed the Bible outdated as of right now.

BE HAPPY!
Don't want to answer it directly?

I asked previously, about my gay son:
So, if he never repents and does whatever else you think he has to do to be saved, will he deserve to burn in hell?

Re: Homosexuality question

A couple of points I have thought of concerning homosexuality being hereditary. It is my opinion because of hormonal things that some men and ladies might be more masculine of feminine. Also because of that part of their genetic design they my spend most of their childhood fitting in with the opposite gender.

For instance: A little boy (we have termed thru the years as a sissy) fits in better with little girls growing up and as he grows up he begins to be attracted to the same things the girls are (other boys). this is only a opinion!

Also: A little boy or girl grows up in a unbalanced home with only a feminine or masculine figure in their life. this is only and opinion!

Also: A child being sexually abused could cause sexuality confusion.this is only and opinion!

I personally believe most every human alive has had some strange fleeting thoughts about sexual perversion in their life, but most don't allow the thought to stay in their minds, while others may be in a more friendly enviroment to such ways of thinking. I believe the media now potrays homosexuality as a positive and acceptable behavior and people are more comfortable with the the idea. I don't believe people are born homosexual, but I believe it is developed some through personality (can't be helped), experiences(may not can be helped), and choices(can be helped).

People who are involved in beastiality probably have a attraction or a lustful desire to an animal. Can we say because of this attraction that this person is a animosexual and excuse it and proclaim it normal. Maybe even legalize marriage between man and beast? certainly not. We should not be abusive to people for their different choices, neither should people force acceptance of those choice on others. I will treat the homosexual with the same respect I will the heterosexual, but I will never agree with that behavior because it is Biblically wrong.

I do believe that most homosexuals probably can't help their attractions to the same sex. I think that sinful nature is something we are all born with and it was not the will of God. We can thank Adam and Eve for that not God. I hope people understand that it is not God's fault because of your sexual desires.

James 1:13 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:
14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.
15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.

God is 100% righeousness. He doesn't desire us to go to Hell, but I believe outside of God
hell is the only other thing. God's rightousness keeps Him from fellowship with the works of unrightousness. (its nothing personal)

Re: Homosexuality question

To address the issue of nature. People want to say if we use nature as a way to refute homosexuality then why are some animals homosexual. The answer is this. When we refer to nature we refer to God's design. Sex even though it gratifying it's main purpose is for reproduction. Although animals may sometimes hunch other animals I really think that is not the design plan, but probably them establishing dominance or their lack of interaction with other animals. It wouldn't be correct to call animals homosexual, but bisexual because I have never seen a male dog that only tries to breed with other males.

Nature is the natural design and that doesn't mean that there isn't any violations that take place. If a dog tries to hump my leg I am going to kick him off that is unacceptable behavior and he will learn from that. If we teach that homosexuality is wrong then people will work to overcome it. We should love people in the process. I don't mean to literally kick a person.l

Timmy, I have grown children. They are not gay, but any other sin that they are involved in could cause them to be lost. I suggest you just pray for your son like I must. Welcome to this side of parenting bro.
