Not too long ago THEY were saying that as much as 10% of the population has some homo- and/or bisexual proclivities. Now, even the CDC of all groups say it’s only at most 3.5%.
In one sense, homosexuals are made that way, as are fornicators, adulterers, murderers, thieves, liars, etc.
We were all born in sin, but once we accept Jesus Christ as our savior, our sin is no longer counted against us. Providing, of course, we no longer continue practicing our sin.
That said, homosexuality has pushed itself to the forefront through what has rightly been called “gaystapo tactics.”
As a Christian, I have to remind myself not to get distracted by the tree of homosexuality and remember there is a whole forest of sin.
“Born to be a Pharisee, Striving to be a Tax-Collector”
Luke 18:9-14
Couldn’t being gay be a birth defect of some sort? There are families where insanity runs in the family, could same sex attraction be like that?
bttt
bkmk
“Providing, of course, we no longer continue practicing our sin.”
Of course everybody does anyway. I don’t know your age, but virtually all the sins I confess to today are the one’s I confessed to 50 years ago...
It is not up to me to judge, as I do not know your sins, nor am I sinless.
I know what the Bible says, and do my best to study and keep the Word of God.
Honestly, that’s about the only advice I’m good for.
It’s sad that all those people were molested when they were young, and it’s affected their entire lives.
They helped convert them...
Every homosexual I ever knew was molested as a boy by an adult male.
Who helped convert whom?
It is not only possible but definite, as being sexually attracted to someone of the same gender is a major mental illness.
“nor am I sinless.”
Well, there are only 10 Commandments. I presume you haven’t broken them all. If you have any years under your belt, then you must be breaking the same ones over and over, Just like me....
That might explain my two homosexual nephews. Brother in law used to be something of a drunk after work that had to be brought home after the bar closed.
Sister is a raging moonbat liberal that might have filled the kids' heads with all sorts of vile crap, really screwing up a bad situation.
the “Catholic priests, gay scout leaders, and NAMBLA members converted straights into gays....damn...
I wrote what I wrote to remind those that confess their belief in Jesus Christ.
I was not trying to convince those who do not believe.
Well, good for you... Sounds like your better than everyone else.
what do you mean it hasn’t been proven? Dog breeding proves that gene dominance changes features of species- while breeding dogs does include directed gene manipulation , it illustrates that features can and do dominate when certain qualities are needed for specific purposes. The hummingbird example is taken from actual studies done on some Hawaiian islands- the ones who’s beaks were not long enough could not feed- they died off, the ones with long enough beaks passed along their genes/traits/features to new generation
This isn’t macroevolution, it is species adaption- a much much different thing- and by the way- it was Christian scientists who discovered this long before Darwin was o n the scene- Species adaption does happen- it happened with gulls on islands who adapted to a point where they gan no logner mate with others of their kind-
Macroevolutionists tried claiming this was macroevolution, however it isn’t- nothing more than species adaption- the birds are still gulls, and will always remain gulls- no NEW non species specific information was created, and infact species specific information was lost or became dormant which is why they can’t mate with their own kind in different parts of the world now-
The hummingbird and gull examples did occur - but again, it’s not macroevolution- not even close- macroevolution is a scientific, biological, mathematical impossibility of the highest order - it can’t happen- species adaption and natural selection can and do happen, but are NOT macroevolution
Another adaption examples are the peppered moths- the ones that weren’t peppered died off because they were easily spotted by prey- the ones that were spotted blended in with their surroundings much better, and the species went on to adapt to the point where only peppered moths were born and dominated-
Creationists and Intelligent Design proponents do not question that species adaption happens as it has been shown scientifically to be a fact-
[[Well, good for you... Sounds like your better than everyone else.]]
hey hey hey..... I’M better than everyone else, Everybody know that
