God created us. And there are somethings in life we can't choose to be. Like being a gay, lesbian or bisexual, we can't choose that. So, is it God who made us that way?

i don't fret over my heterosexuality so as long as a sexuality involves only consenting adults i fail to see what the problem is with whatever sexually others may be.
as a matter of fact, i can't think anything more private and less my business. Love who you Love.
PS. the only reason there is a problem with homosexuality is because people (society) make it a problem. societies create their gods so their gods have the same prejudices the society does. in all likelihood if there is a Creator Super Being that whirled the Universes into existence He/She/It would certainly not concern The Selfhood with the sexual taboos of some barely evolved primates on an obscure and tiny little planet on the outskirts of an rather unremarkable galaxy.
PPS. these folks who think they know what "God" likes and dislikes just crack me up. what arrogance! what egotists! a Bible doesn't a scientist make. hehehehe!
BTW here's an url for a site discussing the genetics of homosexuality.

If you are a believer in God, and also believe that you can't choose who you can be, then yes God did put that into you. And even if being homo or Bisexual was a choice, God still set you up to be that way.
I however don't believe in God and just believe that your genes were chemically made that way.
However sometimes Ignorance is Bliss (lame chliche i know) and if you leave god, and chemicals out of it, and just keep the humanity and love in it, it is so much easier to see that some people just love boys, and some people love girls. So don't worry about god or science, just be moral to yourself... because that is what the right thing to do is, not what the religeous leaders say, nor what the atheists say.
Be yourself, thats who you are

God created us in his image. Which means that we have qualities like he does. When he made our first human parents, they were a male and a female couple. God is the author of marriage, and he did not make them gay. Even though people think that God is a bad God, because he does not agree with homesexuality, or even tolerates it, this is so untrue. God is holy, and has always been. He is a clean God and pure. So are his ways. He hated these immoral acts back in the days of the bible, and he still does. God is not being insensitive, he gave us free will to decide what we want to do. But he also expects us to listen to him and obey. This is a hard thing for all of us to do, but it is for our own good. God does not make us gay, or anything else. Today, even if we choose the life we want, and what sexual preferences we want. Don't be mad at God if he does not agree with us. After all he is our creator, and should we not be thankful for that. He could of destroyed humans completely, but because he loves us, he is giving us a chance to prove our selves worthy of his love. No matter what the world thinks about things, remember, Gods approval is what we want not humans. Please read Colossians 3:5,6 and 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 which speaks of these unclean acts, and then you decide what to do from there, or what to believe.

Being Gay, Lesbian, or Bisexual is a choice. God didn't make us this way. He made Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve. He made us in his image, male and female made He us. He gave woman to the man and told them to multiply and replenish the earth. This isn't possible if people are homosexual. God Also gave unto us the power to choose for ourselves what we would do. This you can see if you read about the Garden of Eden, where man was free to eat of the tree of Good and Evil. I don't believe that anyone is born gay/lesbian/Bisexual. Kids don't even have a concept of sex let alone sexual orientation. Somewhere as they grow up something effects them and they choose to become that way.

Number one, why would God command against a way of life, then turn around and create someone to be that way?
Number two, people do choose to be gay, lesbian, or bisexual. Remember there are TWO forces at work. If Satan can come to us as an angel of light, then i'm sure he can make people believe they were born gay.

God created life. A person is created by their parents. Just because a person is gay or bisexual certainly does not make them any less of a person in God's eyes or the eyes of anyone else who knows and understands the true meaning of life.

God created us for a GOOD purpose. He has a plan for each of us... a plan for good and not for evil and to have a purpose and a hope. He created each of us to be special and us like no one else could be. Our sexuality is a choice. We have more options in our choices than we have been taught that we have. I used to think that i didn't have a choice in so many things. it's a positive to learn that i truly do have so many choices. it's also more responsibility. I used to think that it was easier for me if I could blame someone else for who I am but I would rather have the control over my life to make those choices. i realize that it makes me responsible. It also makes my destiny greater because I can make the changes I want.
It is ultimitly my responsibility to choose to be happy or depressed or to be gay or straight or to be a sucess or a failure. when we say that it is someone else's fault (God or anyone) we are just bailing out on our own responsibility to be accountable for ourselves. If indeed we want to truly know how God made us we need to consult the Bible and see how God sees us. He says that we are fearfully and wonderfully made and that we are more than conquerors through Christ Jesus. if we say God made us a certain way then we are agreeing with an authority - the Bible - and if so then we have to learn what the Bible says about us. if the Bible is not our authority and we do not want to accept it as our guide then we are not operating from the same belief system. i believe that God has created us - each one. if that is the premise of your question and you truly use the Bible as your authority then we have the same basis for our belief system. if not then we are talking apples and oranges.
God is so gracious and merciful He truly loves you and wants you to know that you are special to Him and that He does have a specific purpose for you. He is Love and always wants the best for us and always loves us - no matter what. Jesus died so that we could have life and abundance in every area of our lives. God loves us so much that Jesus became our sacrifice. God has made a way for us to go to Him through Jesus and it doesn't matter what we have done or where we have been. Jesus made the sacrifice for us once for all of us so that we could be reconciled to our Creator. i am grateful.

I believe that by original design... in the garden of Eden... male and female was what God originally intended. After the fall of man, into sin, I believe that countless distortions came into the world such as defective heart valves, or say... limbs malformed... two tiny examples of things that would not exist if we were still in the Garden... I believe the Mercy and Grace of God and the payment for sin by Jesus covers these distortions and all others from original design. There are many issues in life that we will deal with until our death and that we are loved by God ... period.

truly!!! It replaced into something extra formal, yet I used to communicate over with Him however the reason and when you consider that I kept ahead to my personal ambition and needs, at the same time as He gave me avertisements I kept none and did my way going into further and extra trubles! Into an end, interior of a deep depresion, He kept my life (!!!) the very 2d I left away of all my deep needs... There, empty coronary heart, i replaced into full of God's basic and Peace and Love - an finished New life, a sparkling body, a sparkling innovative and prescient over the past and the destiny :) :) :) definite, he's my Saviour!!!

Unfortunately, God did not make humankind a "sinning" race. That was a human choice thousands of years ago (Genesis 2 and 3). Homosexual behaviour has been condemned as sinful by God, along with theft, rape, murder, lust, and disrespect.
Just because we don't "feel" we can control our urges, whether they be to love the "wrong" person or to take what doesn't belong to us, that doesn't make that urge "not sinful". It just means we are humans needing God's help. We are not defined by our urges. Temptation is not identification. God has better news for us than that!
