If you buy into that whole story, there would have to be both male and female, otherwise there could be no procreation. And supposing there really was a time when the survival of the human race depended on individual procreations, then perhaps same-sex relations would have endangered the species. However, there are about 8 billion people alive today, and less than 5% of them are exclusively homosexual. In fact, more couples are childless for other reasons, such as by choice, by lack of the money to care for a child, by infertility, etc. than because they are same-sex. Why aren't you up in arms about them?

You are trying to understand a psychological/emotional sexual human condition through a mythological story involving a naked man and woman and a talking snake and magic fruit tree.
Stick to the medical professionals definition of things. If you want to learn why gay people are gay, what being gay is etc.
go to the American Psychological Association and search "homosexuality".
As a therapist for a very long time, I can tell you that I actually LISTEN to what gay people say instead of forming my own preconceived notions (religious or otherwise) and most gay people cannot recall ever chosing to be gay. Some can recall knowing they were gay from as young as five and six. Gay people come from all different backgrounds, races, households and domestic situations. While the more effeminate males and butch women are easier to spot, they make up only a SMALL stereotypical percentage of gay people. Most people you think aren't gay, actually ARE but are not noticeably so.
Get some facts and then ask more questions.

You can't really blame them for their confusion. The main reason is because Satan the devil had blinded the eyes of the unbeliever, that the illumination of the Christ must not shine thought. 2 Corthians 4:4. Also 1 Corthians 6:9-10 do indicate that unrighteous wouldn't inhibit God Kingdom. These include Male who lie with Male and female who lie with female. But the concept of homosexuality came from the city of Sodom and Gomorrah during the time Jehovah God decided to destroyed these two cities, because of the wickedness and sinful act.

It's simple. I can believe it because god didn't specifically make anything ... and Adam and Eve are just hebrew fairy tales.
If homosexuality was a choice made by humans and was unnatural, we wouldn't see homosexual behavior in animals ... as MOST animals are built for the procreation of the species and don't have sex for pleasure. Homosexuality is a perfectly natural variant.
Now, my question for you ... Why on earth are you so concerned with what anyone else does in their bedrooms?

Just because God made Adam and Eve, does not mean that since they sinned and lost the perfection that God gave them, that their children or children's, children, would not have the gay gene show up somewhere along the long road of human existence.

I don't think it's for us to say if god created them that way or not. Just let them live their lives and god will sort it out in the end. I wonder sometimes if God created homosexuals as a way of population control. It's something to think about anyway.

Are you saying God didn't make homosexuals? i think the Adam and Eve story is set up so as they could procreate. The story doesn't really work as an origin of man if they can't procreate.

Sorry pet, humanity evolved. Get used to the idea because it has been proved and no amount of faith can change that.
Homosexuality is fairly common amongst the rest of the animal kingdom. It is no surprise to any biologist, zoologist, anthropologist, sociologist, or people who actually study creatures and their social interactions - that homosexuality exists within humanity too.

Romans 1:18-32
18 For God’s wrath is being revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who are suppressing the truth in an unrighteous way, 19 because what may be known about God is manifest among them, for God made it manifest to them. 20 For his invisible [qualities] are clearly seen from the world’s creation onward, because they are perceived by the things made, even his eternal power and Godship, so that they are inexcusable; 21 because, although they knew God, they did not glorify him as God nor did they thank him, but they became empty-headed in their reasonings and their unintelligent heart became darkened. 22 Although asserting they were wise, they became foolish 23 and turned the glory of the incorruptible God into something like the image of corruptible man and of birds and four-footed creatures and creeping things.
24 Therefore God, in keeping with the desires of their hearts, gave them up to uncleanness, that their bodies might be dishonored among them, 25 even those who exchanged the truth of God for the lie and venerated and rendered sacred service to the creation rather than the One who created, who is blessed forever. Amen. 26 That is why God gave them up to disgraceful sexual appetites, for both their females changed the natural use of themselves into one contrary to nature; 27 and likewise even the males left the natural use of the female and became violently inflamed in their lust toward one another, males with males, working what is obscene and receiving in themselves the full recompense, which was due for their error.
28 And just as they did not approve of holding God in accurate knowledge, God gave them up to a disapproved mental state, to do the things not fitting, 29 filled as they were with all unrighteousness, wickedness, covetousness, badness, being full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malicious disposition, being whisperers, 30 backbiters, haters of God, insolent, haughty, self-assuming, inventors of injurious things, disobedient to parents, 31 without understanding, false to agreements, having no natural affection, merciless. 32 Although these know full well the righteous decree of God, that those practicing such things are deserving of death, they not only keep on doing them but also consent with those practicing them.
We must read all of these scriptures to get the full jist of it. But verse 21 starts the point of it. There is no way 26 & 27 can be taken out of context. Then further down even the ones that know homosexuality is wrong but agree with it will also be judged. We must stay clean in all things.

If you believe that story then you must completely support, and believe that God does too, incest...cause that is where you came from. Why shouldn't family members have sex with each other...obviously it happened in biblical times...I say wake up and think with your own brain...not with the stories you hear from the pulpit.
