That's only true if you believe God made us the way we are.
Man is a fallen creature. I believe sin has twisted us on every level: spiritual, psychological, and yes...even biological down to our very genetics. It's like any other genetic disorder...did God make people that way? No...God made man whole without sickness or genetic disorders. But man fell, now we are subject to death, sickness, and genetic disorders that cause our flesh to war against our spirits. That's why so many gays kill themselves....they don't want to be gay. Their spirits are at war with something in their flesh that they cannot control. They are captives, bound by sin, enslaved by their sinful flesh (biology).
Yes, I believe it may be biological or genetic...but no, I don't believe God made them that way. It's a symptom of the all pervading effects of sin on our nature, here for some...the biological nature.
I don't believe that all who call themselves "gay" chose it. I think for some it's their "flesh" (biology). And their only hope for total deliverance is a miraculous healing. Demanding they repent is only part of the problem. They need touched by the master, changed, made a new creature...all the way down to the DNA.
Death is biological, God didn't create men to die...but it is part of our physical nature because of sin in our members, it is a biological effect of sin on the whole race. There is no good thing in this flesh.
We demand they change themselves....they need a healer. A deliverer...someone who came to set the captive FREE. They need to repent of sin committed and pay for healing. And we need to surround them praying for that miraculous touch. Then and only then will they be really free.
