One of the strongest arguments against homosexual­ity as an inborn, unalterable condition is change in sexual orientation.

Indeed. The radicals pushing the homosexual agenda have gained political power based on discredited and misrepresented science. Every year more homosexuals become former homosexuals.

Here are some links offering help and hope to homosexuals seeking to leave the homosexual lifestyle.

Ping.

If I remember correctly, you're familiar with Dr. Whitehead's work.

Indeed.

Every year and perhaps every day, homosexuals become former homosexuals.

Yes, he’s the Australian shrink that debunked all the twins studies if I recall correctly. I’m so out of practice I forget half of the studies I’ve read, or they’re on a laptop I had 3 laptops ago. I even got kicked me off the Sodomite Agenda ping list, I’m way out of practice. Going to bed now, good to hear from you.

I’ve been too busy to keep up and just concentrate on former homosexual/ex gay articles. Catch you later.

I’m not the type to understand fudge packing. I probably won’t find that of interest.

Here's an excerpt for those who may find the subject of interest:
It may be difficult to grasp how genes, environment, and other influences interrelate to one another, how a certain factor may "influence" an outcome but not cause it, and how faith enters in. The scenario below is condensed and hypothetical, but is drawn from the lives of actual people, illustrating how many different factors influence behavior.

The lack of Spiritual Guidance allows for this thought process. That is why the attack on the Church has lead to more personal destruction in our society. God Bless.

The most hetero men in the world become homo in prison. That should be enough said, but consider also that evolutionists are unlikely to support a theory where a hypothetical genetic variation like homosexuality would produce NO offspring. How does a self-defeating gene like homosexuality perpetuate itself?

I'm not sure what you mean here:

What thought process?

Most gay men have had at least one heterosexual exxperience which, before Stonewall and the free-love sixties, would have remained in that camp.

The absence of God in their life. Homosexuality is a sin and expressed so in the Bible. If you adhere to Scripture the mis-leading of Satan will not infiltrate your life.

That's an argument that appears to have merit and many have used it before. What I've heard in response is that homosexuality could be caused by a recessive gene.

My problem with that is the fluidity of sexuality which we see in various forms. For example, you listed homosexuality in prison which tends to demonstrate the fluidity of sexuality. We see heterosexuals engaging in same sex, sexual behavior, and homosexuals engaging in opposite sex, sexual behavior.

Genes, recessive or not, do not cause same sex attraction. IMO, sexuality is really more complicated than most realize and cannot be fully understood without years of delving into the details.

It would be great if those who think homosexuals are born that way would spend more time reading studies instead of misrepresentations of studies...

Okay. I got it and that's what I thought you might be saying. I believe I disagree with you because I know Christians who struggle with various sins and some of those Christians struggle with same sex attraction. Also, some of those Christians struggle with same sex attraction for various reasons, not all of which is a failure to adhere to Scripture.

If you read testimonies of those who left the lifestyle, you'll see a common pattern including but not limited to missed relationships, abuse, etc.

“Can an alcoholic stop drinking?”

I thought that is when you became an Alcoholic.
