Answer 2

I suppose you can't help your natural impulses. I don't think that homosexuality is normally consciously chosen. How was your relationship with your father? Crappy, right? Or maybe you didn't have one? There are a lot of issues that can cause people to be homosexual when they grow up. That father one is extremely common. One therapist I read said he had never known a single gay man who had a loving, respectful, relationship with his father. It still doesn't make homosexual sex any healthier or more acceptable. It's sin because the Bible says it's sin. Period. God made the rule, not us. And by the way, homosexuality was very common at the time that was written. It wasn't frowned on back then very much at all, so by writing that, Paul was making enemies for himself. And the people he witnessed to tortured him pretty bad sometimes, so if he was in fact a hater, he got what was coming to him. There is strong evidence to suggest that the Romans eventually martyred him about 64 A.D. Much of the persecution he faced is recorded in the New Testament, especially in the book of Acts, although not his death.

I don't know why you respond to guys rather than girls. I really don't care. I don't hate gay people, but like I said, God determines what's acceptable and what's not. We can't change His rules every time we don't like them. I wish we could change the rules too sometimes. Do you know how hard it is for me not to lust, for example? And about vinegar, you should know that appetites are cultivated. People often develop a taste for whisky or other types of alcohol after they drink a lot of it. The same thing might happen with vinegar. Also, if you really want to change, God would probably cultivate in you a sexual appetite (meaning desire) for your wife. He does this a lot in Christian men, especially as the wife gets older and her body starts to decay. But if you have gay impulses, and for whatever reason you can't shake them, your only healthy moral option is to commit your life to celibacy. I'm not gay, but that's what I've done so far because I am single. It's not that bad. Really. And are you so dedicated to your sin that you would go to hell over it rather than repent? It's not worth it. It's not loving not to warn people either.

Answer 3

Being gay may or may not be a choice. The jury is still out on that. But here's the thing: Homosexual behavior is a sin, and sin is a choice.

Just because you have an innate tendency toward a certain behavior, if that behavior is sinful, then you need to not do it. Similarly, just because you're born with an innate tendency toward a certain behavior, that doesn't make it right.

The latter raises an interesting point, and that is that right and wrong are not issues you personally decide, but rather there are absolute moral standards that are established by God. You can't say, "Homosexual activity is right for me because I was born that way" because right and wrong aren't your decisions to make.

If it's OK for you to say that homosexual acts are OK for you because you were born that way, is it OK for me to say that killing gays is OK for me because I was born that way? If not, why not? Why can't I just "be myself"? The answer is that murder is wrong, not because you don't want to die, but because God has an absolute standard that says murder is wrong. Even though I'd like to kill you, I'm obligated to resist that urge. (I'm not tempted. Don't worry.)

Similarly, you may be born with urges that draw you into sinful behavior. You need to fight those urges. God gives us the power to do that through Jesus Christ.

BTW Angolina Jolie doesn't do it for me, either. Oh, and neither does Brad Pitt.

Answer 4

Amazingly enough, man does not give his mind as much credit as it deserves. In all seriousness, if you think your are something and you believe it with all your mind that is what your body will believe. So if you believe that your not attracted to women, but instead to men then you will be attracted to men instead of women. Either way it is still unnatural because man was originally meant to be with a women not a man. If you don't believe me look at your anatomy. Guys can't have babies. If men were suppose to be with men wouldn't you think that there would be a way to pro-create a child.

Even if you take it from a evolutionary standpoint. Over time if a guys were continually having sex with guys wouldn't you think that eventually a guy would evolve the ability to have a kid. Since that don't then it is unnatural.

The same way from a christian perspective if God created men to have sex with men don't you think that he would have given men the ability to have children.

Answer 5

it's not a choice being gay.. if being gay was a choice then I will tell to myself Ok today I am not gay.. tomorrow yes... how is possible? first of all you have to read a lot of scientific information.. it's not a choice.. The Bible doesnt mention homosexuality.. just some verses could be interpreted according to the context of at that time..

Answer 6

It's because your mind has become depraved. The Bible clarifies your condition saying in Romans 1:

21 For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened.
22 Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools
23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles.
24 Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another.
25 They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator— who is forever praised. Amen.
26 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones.
27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion.
28 Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done.

Answer 7

That whole "gay being a choice" thing is such a load of pisseggs, I know quite a few men who used wish they were straight because they kept getting beaten up at school.

Answer 8

I'd like them to explain how they came to their choice then.
If what they say is true.. we all start out bi-sexual, then we make a choice at some point.. like "hm, I think I'll go hetero".. it makes no sense to this heterosexual gal at all.

Answer 9

I hope you are not bothered by answers you get here.

The truth is, many people are led to believe your lifestyle is a sin because somewhere in their dusty book, it says so. That's it. Period.

Then, when faced with excellent questions, like yours, they must scramble to support what their good book says, without really understanding why.

Live your life. You don't have to change any ones mind to be secure with yourself.

Answer 10

I would think christians would sympathize. Jesus was supposedly a carpenter. Any good carpenter knows that if the equipment isn't functioning, you can't work the wood.

Answer 11

angelina jolie isn't that attractive anyway, what a terrible example.
