Bible Question (short): Disease or Bad Personal Choice?? |
Question (full): There are those who choose to believe that Homosexuality is a disease. If this is true, then why is it the ONLY disease that a man can inherit, and is condemned by God?? God doesn't condemn Sickle Cell Anemia; Cancer; HIV; Lukemia; or anyother illness other than sin. What I find strange about this is that God will not condemn a person for having HIV, but He will condemn that person for Homosexuality. According to James 1:14-15, death is the result of man following his own personal desires and doing the things he wants to do. This same principle can also be seen in Romans 1:21-32, however, within these verses in Romans, Homosexuality isn't pictured as a disease, but a bad personal choice. If Homosexuality IS a disease, wouldn't that call into question the Judgement and the Integrity of God?? Didn't He distroy two cities partly because of Homosexuality?? V.4-5 of Gen. 19 indicates that EVERY male in that city was a Homosexual, both young and old. The city, of course, was Sodom, both it and Gomorrah was destroyed by God. If Homosexuality ISN'T a disease, then have those within the medical field who believe it is, been decieved by the father-of-lies. Has the prince-of-this-world run a number down on those who are unaware of scripture?? And while we're on the issue, anyone care to comment on Same Sex Marriages having ALL the Rights and Privileges of Heterosexual Marriages?? |
