Homosexuality … Is It A Matter Of Choice? Are some born that way? And if so, how could God condemn him? Or does he? Does it make any difference? Who offered it as an “alternative lifestyle”? Are same-sex drives due to conditioning? Are gays and lesbians a fad of nature? Something weird to poke fun at? Would it have been better if they had never been born? All these questions and more are just a few of the many that run through people’s minds; causing controversy, heated arguments and emotional wounds, as the words fly back and forth carelessly.
It might be safe to say that homosexuality is the result of many factors. But who is to blame? Should we even put a guilt trap on someone’s door? Perhaps the mother, and again there is the father who did not imagine too much. Society? Genoa The stars? Most people know their sexual orientation in adolescence. They do not suddenly discover that they are “heterosexual” and “show it.” Let’s be realistic.
Who should accept responsibility for our actions? Some have felt “gay” since they were very young and therefore imagine that they were born gay. Others seem to pick up, adopt, or assimilate homosexual tendencies through association. They must have already had an inclination towards that. It hit them. Then there are the ones who were bored and needed a change. They wanted to try it and see if they liked it. Sometimes, due to the “force” of circumstances, men in prison, children’s homes and / or monasteries, may resort to homosexual activities. Later, as soon as possible, some of them revert to heterosexuality, while others continue to enjoy “the best of both worlds” as bisexuals. Are fans of “bestiality is the best” born like this? Or are incestuous relationships something innate? Do we have a chemical predisposition to incest? Are we prepared for such a fall from birth? Would that justify us or excuse us? Is promiscuity simply a part of man’s “animal instincts”? Is the challenge of the chase a primitive hangover from the “days of the hunt”? Actually, ALL of the above are simply DISTRACTIONS! It is not about who or what we feel most comfortable with, prefer, like, or are attracted to; Those are just attempts to get around the real problem!
God is not just the Creator, but the Sustainer of the entire universe. As such, Her Majesty’s Government, based in the highest heaven, has promulgated (on Mount Sinai) various health rules and regulations (Malachi 4: 4). The Creator King has predetermined, in His infinite wisdom, what “foods and drugs” are safe and sound for our consumption.
If we keep in mind the reason for our mortal existence, the SUPREME PURPOSE of our human being; to establish contact with our Higher Self and develop a relationship with Him, then we will know and understand that everything that God does is for our benefit. God wants to help us, not hinder us. He likes to encourage us to reach our goals and develop our potential (Luke 12: 31-32). The Father knows best: what He has in store for us is beyond our wildest dreams (Ephesians 3:20; 1 Corinthians 2: 9)!
The high cost of living
Whoever chooses to be a card-bearing member of the homosexual community has the right to all its privileges and persecutions; but first you must COUNT THE COST to see if it is too high a price for you to pay, as Christians are told to do (Luke 14:28).
If someone chooses to have illicit sex or become entangled in “foreign affairs,” they are living a lie if they believe that God might condone their inappropriate behavior, and they compound their problems if they mislead others with attempts. to back up such blatant sin (Rom. 1:32). Do what you want, but don’t distort God and his clear biblical teachings. Don’t try to put words in His mouth or censor what He really said (Revelation 22: 18-19).
Yes, GOD IS LOVE! That is why He hates certain practices with a passion. He disapproves of a dishonest life of theft, an unfaithful habit of “cheating” on our spouse, a disrespectful attitude towards our parents or people in authority, religious holidays that are hollow and do not sanctify His name, senseless murder and murder of character, distractions Idolaters who stand between God and us, an endless trivial search and concern for ourselves and others, rather than putting God first. God loves us and wants us to love him too, but he considers love more than a four-letter word: love is an attitude exemplified by actions, words backed by works (James 2:26). That is why Jesus said that if we really love him, we would show it and not just say it (John 14:15).
Safe sex
Since God is love and our Father knows best, he wants us to practice safe sex. Safe sex that is good and healthy, clean and pure, and only available within a marriage where both spouses keep their vows and honor their commitments (Heb. 13: 4). Sexual intimacy, cuddling, and intercourse belong to the bedroom (of those linked to the Bible), and must involve the union of minds and bodies (Gen. 2:24). Married couples are challenged to become compatible in every sense of the word. A marriage certificate doesn’t have to be “just a piece of paper” or become another scratched record! God recognizes the fact that marriage is not for everyone (Matt. 19:11), but expresses His will that singles remain celibate (1 Thes. 4: 3).
God only promises to bless those foods (or relationships) that are sanctioned by His Word (1 Tim. 4: 4-5). He is not unsure of himself or his ways, he is not fickle or foolish, and his Word is trustworthy, trustworthy, and not subject to change. This hasn’t made the Scriptures too popular at times, but they refuse to succumb to peer pressure and stay true to themselves. They are not what you need to change anyway. We make. God has not lowered His moral standards or compromised His dietary laws, but He does offer to help us rise to His God plane. Christ can cleanse us of our unclean lives (Acts 10:15, 28), because God has not called us to remain in Egypt, but to the Promised Land. Don’t just stand there, move! And leave your excess baggage behind (sin).
Kosher food
Although God created us with a hunger drive, an appetite, He does not want us to become gluttonous pigs. He also doesn’t want us to act like horny dogs (1 Corinthians 6:13). God also showed us that just because various foods have been incorrectly labeled as “delicacies,” we don’t have to put them in our mouths (Lev. 11). We are expected to be mature, not to act like children. God warns us to guard the doors of our mind, not prepare for a fall, and discern what we digest (Ephesians 4:27; Hebrews 5:14). We are instructed to search our food to think and remember “we are what we eat” and “we become what we think” (Prov. 23: 7). God wants us not only to look at what we put in our mouth, but what we allow to enter our mind (Philippians 4: 8). For a free list of “government approved” food for thought; what is clean and unclean, clean and unclean, kosher and non-kosher – see Galatians 5: 19-23; Efes. 5:11 and Felipe. 1:11.
We are not supposed to remain raw material. God has given us a brain to refine ourselves and keep our “instincts” lower in line (2 Peter 2:12). The Holy Spirit offers us the help we need to do this work (John 1:12). We should refuse to be reduced to an animal level, simply sensual creatures, choosing a higher standard of living instead. The lack of a mentality of “if it feels good, do it” and “if it looks good, eat it” should be considered an insult to those who are striving to attain the higher intelligence of God.
Regardless of why you are gay, bisexual, or “trysexual” (you will try anything once), whether or not you had a choice in the matter, you have the option of exercising proper self-control. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE A SLAVE TO YOUR SENSES (John 8:34), or allow sexual temptations to dictate foolish reactions (Genesis 19: 4-11). You can resist suggestions and reject promptings (2 Cor. 10: 5). Every fleeting thought, random idea, or lost notion doesn’t have to take root and grow if you don’t give it fertile ground (James 1: 13-15). You can consider its origin and nip it in the bud. A “NO TRANSFER!” You can develop a state of mind to defend yourself from intruders. Protection is possible. You can say NO! You can curb your appetite! YOU CAN CHANGE!
