Everything is a choice. Sexual preferences shouldn't be excluded, because then, what do you say about the pedophile? His sexual preference is young children. Why is the pedophile a choice, but the homosexual a way you were born? I'm not comparing the two, homosexuality hurts nobody, but just the sexual attraction towards another human being.

It has to be a choice ever to have sex with another individual. Imagine choosing another person's excretory orrifice as a substitute for a sexual one? Of course there is a choice, and Jesus said it was a perverted and abominable choice to make. No homosexual enters heaven, says the Bible, not me, and if that is the case, then God thinks it's a choice, and a very bad and perverted one at that. Feelings are not at issue, it is the perversion of feelings, and the action upon those feelings that constitute choice in the matter. If someone chooses to deny their lust and seek reorientation, then there is hope. If someone denies a problem, then likely they will not seek remedy and will be condemned for their weird sin that they apparently "choose" not to abandon. It is definitely a choice.

lol. I don't get these religious people. they say it's a sin to 'take action of homosexuality', but then if you are, why would God want to make you marry or go of with someone you don't like or feel anything for. And when you get older and married, have sex with them too. It's too wrong. Also, I don't think it's a choice. Sometimes I want to be straight because of people and the society (fact is people make the world) but I just CAN'T (not that I really want to)

My cousin is gay and before he came out we used to ask me questions which would often relate to:
If it was wrong if a man and a woman didn't have sex on their wedding night.
If it was wrong if a man and a woman never had sex while they were married.
I knew my cousin was dating girls and loved many of them, but I had a feeling that he wasn't serious about any of them.
He lived with my family for a few months and I found out that he had been secretly chatting with men about having romantic relationships with them online, meeting in person, and taking nude pictures of the upper body or in really tight clothing and emailing them back and forth between his little network of friends.
He found acceptance from these guys for his promiscuity, soon enough delved in it in person as he had online, and came out last year on Christmas to his family.
My cousin was taking an active role in being/acting heterosexual, (dating the girls, making out with them, etc...) which makes me believe that taking part in a homosexual lifestyle is a choice.
Being born with homosexual tendencies, I can believe that, but I think taking part in that lifestyle is a choice.
Edit:
I do feel a very deep sorrow for homosexuals. I know there are MANY who chose not to live a homosexual life and go through the motions of being heterosexual and are very unhappy. A lot of them have children and are married to a spouse, secretly living a life of sadness inside.
I know it is God's plan for a man and a woman to create life and it was His commandment for us to do so. If we follow God's commandments our reward will be great for being diligent followers of his word.
If it's too much for a homosexual to bear, to be married or to act heterosexual...it should also be his choice whether to take part - sexually - in either lifestyle and remain a virgin all their days. It has happened, people have lived and died, both heterosexuals and homosexuals alike, without having sex ever in their lives.
A homosexual marriage is abhorrent to God, it doesn't make it any easier or more acceptable to God if homosexuals marry.

I am Bi and I get so tired of answering the same question over and over again. But since I do not recognize you, I will answer it again.
It doesn't freaking matter whether homosexuality is a choice or not!
What matters is whether you believe in Jesus Christ as the savior. That's what the man said! If you trust in Him, you can be the biggest homo in the world, and it wouldn't matter. But watch out! If God wants to change you He will!
If you trust God through Jesus Christ you will have peace with God. And it won't matter if you are willing to be homosexual or were born that way. It's not really important!

I don't think so! God usually "controlled the population" by plague, famine, pestilence, ravages of war and etc. If He were in favor of homosexuality as a "population control device", He'd have to apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah! Besides, homosexuality is called a sin in Leviticus by God telling us plainly that men shall not lie with men as he does a woman. And in Romans, it is called an "abomination" in Chapter 1, so I don't think it's His way of doing things...

Homosexuality is not a choice. Yes, you can choose whether or not to act upon your desires. So what? Just because the bible says homosexuality is wrong doesn't make it true. If anything, it proves that the bible is fake.

you can't "choose" to be homosexual anymore then you can "choose" who you fall in love with.
And to everyone out there who thinks their christian beliefs gives them a right to condemn homosexuality... read the "whole Chapter". The same chapter that condemns men for "lying with men as he would lie with a woman" also condemns men for lying in the bed of a woman who is "bleeding". (In other words on her period.) God calls both an abomination and says it makes men unclean in his eyes. So to all of you male or females that commit that "sin" maybe you should check out all the "abominations before you single out one.
By the way Divorce is an abomination and so is sex outside of the marraige bed...
"things that make you go hmmm?"

I don't think homosexuality is a choice any more than I think heterosexuality is a choice. That said, even if it were a choice, everyone has a right to do what they want with their own body.
