Here's my $.02 worth on this subject.
In a manner of speaking, I believe that homosexuals are born that way.Here's the way my thinking goes and I'll write it in the form of a resolution.
Whereas all men are born with a sin nature, and
Whereas that sin nature does manifest itself in acts of sin, and
Whereas this manifestation varies between individuals; some to this particular sin, others to another type of sin, and
Whereas God calls homosexuality a sin and does condemn them that practice it,
Therefore, homosexuality is a sin and, like all other sins, is able to being repented of, abandoned, and being forgiven of.
Conclusion: People are born sinners and in some cases homosexuality is the primary way they express/manifest that sinfulness. But they are not born into homosexuality in a way that is unchangeable.
That is a huge stretch. What sins people engage in is largely a function of environment not genetics. There might be some genetic component that makes some people more susceptible to being homosexual, but genes don't determine any sin. It is a choice. Look at some of the strange fetishes such as being urinated on, leather, wearing diaper, being whipped, etc. Are these all genetics too? If sexual desire is all genetics, they would have to be.
To expound on your point, I doesn’t really matter whether homosexual behavior is genetic. As a man, I am “genetically programmed” to want to have sex with a huge variety of women. Nevertheless this would be irresponsible, and my wife expects me to restrain these appetites and channel them into marriage. This is a reasonable expectation, despite my “genetics.”
Biology and genetics are pretty cut and dried.
Any gene that is counter to reproduction, for example, the exclusive preference for same sex intercourse (male/male OR female/female), dies out with the carrier.
Homosexuals aren’t generally breeders. It, meaning the homo gene, isn’t reproduced to continue on in the gene pool. So the anathema to “breeders” would, on its own, cause homosexuality to disappear. The “we’re just born that way” as an excuse doesn’t hold up.
So sorry.
