1 | i need Biblical info on homosexuality | Rom 1:27 | Hank | 116532 | ||
ptgard: Would you not agree that in our world there are charlatans operating in virtually every field of human inquiry? Certainly religion has its quacks and frauds, as do the many branches of medicine and the behavioral sciences. There are legitimate researchers and practitioners in these fields and there are crackpots and dishonest people with varied agenda. Would you allow that the gay activists and gay sympathizers have agenda? In our time all of us who have been exposed to the news even in a casual way are aware of their efforts to bend and distort the laws of our land in order to promote their agenda. They are not above twisting laws to suit their purposes. Is there any earthly reason to believe that they would have any reservations whatever in adultering "scientific facts" in the same way? What assurance do you have that these "many medical studies" you allude to are legitimate and objective? And, by the way, since you mention these "many medical studies," how about citing a couple for us so we can check them out for ourselves. In my many years I've come to the conclusion that people can be divided into two groups: those who are willing to take God at His word and thus who aren't. Into which group do you fall, if you don't mind saying? ...... In reference to the Bible's changing its position on homosexuality from the Old Testament to the New: not so. There is no instance in all Scripture in which God changed His position in regard to the moral law or code. ...... Homosexuals born that way? What about being born other ways, with other unnatural proclivities? Let's examine a few to which I was an eye witness. A man, an habitual adulterer, told me one time that God endowed him with such an enormous libido (sex drive) that no one woman could ever satisfy him. A problem smoker whom I personally knew claimed that his anatomy was so innately constructed that it could not function properly without nicotine. Another said that he was born with peculiar cells in his body that could only function properly when they were saturated with alcohol. And yet another admitted that she was powerless over her kleptomania and was sure she would go mad if she was deprived of the ability to steal things. Do you believe that these people -- the adulterer, the smoker, the alcoholic, the kleptomaniac -- were born with a defective gene of some sort that made them the way they were and rendered rehabilitation impossible? Apply the same question to the homosexual who claims God made him the way he is? Does his claim make any more sense to you than the claims of those I've cited above? What do you suppose the Bible is talking about when it says "be transformed by the renewing of your mind"? (see Romans 12:2) ...... Finally, whom will you choose to believe, to follow, and to lead your life by the weak and undocumented "findings" of "many medical studies" that change enormously from study to study -- or the solid-rock, eternal truth of God's word and the truth that is Christ Jesus, who is the same yesterday, today, and forever." (see Hebrews 13:8). ..... If you are indeed a regenerate believer in the Lord Jesus Christ, what possesses you in the first place to come on this Forum ostensibility promoting "many medical studies" about homosexuality instead of teaching what Scripture clearly teaches about this act which it labels an abomination and a perversion? Can you give a cogent reason? --Hank | ||||||

Hank: ok- good analogies with the adulterer, the smoker, the alcoholic, and the kleptomaniac-- but you are forgetting one important thing... these are just four people- gays make up about 15 percent of America....how many kleptomaniacs are there? Not nearly as many. The figure isn't even in the same ballpark. Also, I truly believe in God and His Providence, but i also believe that some (not all, as some do it to rebel and as a shock tactic) homosexuals are born that way-- i will try to find those medical researches again |

Try to compare apples to apples..................................... Hello again Ptgard05, You are correct that there are more homosexuals than kleptomaniacs. However, there are many more people committing adultery than there are homosexuals. So don't belittle Hank's post by picking and choosing. |

Sir Pent Be careful you fall into a common pro homosexual argument. Is there really more homosexuals than kleptomaniacs? I don't think that has ever been proven. And I don’t think that is necessarily true. In fact the actual number of homosexuals while they try to booster their numbers hovers less than 1-3 percent depending on who does the counting. Homosexuality is still a very small phenomena within the human population. If bisexualism included the numbers range in 3-5 percent group but then the argument that they are controlled by nature goes out the window. EdB |
