Bible Question:
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?? |
Bible Answer: TheCurtMan: There is absolutely no clinical proof that homosexuals are born with a "defective gene," thus making homosexuality an inherited trait and therefore lending to it a social and moral legitimacy by virtue of the fact that homosexuals are born that way and cannot help being the way they are. This is one of the many lies that homosexuals and homosexual sympathizers would like the world to believe. God calls homosexuality an abomination and a perversion, not an acceptable alternate lifestyle. As for same sex marriages, there is no such thing in the sight of God. God created Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve, and laid down in Genesis 2:24 His divine plan for marriage, which is the union of a man and a woman, and He has not changed His divine plan one iota. The only sense in which homosexuality may be called a disease is to lump it along with all other sin into a group and call it the scourge, the disease, of fallen man. Homosexuality is a disease of the depraved human heart, not the libido. --Hank |
