do you think I'm correct in saying this?

Question

being homosexual is a statement of rebellion more that a desire for the same sex.
its kinda like telling a child not to go outside in the road and play , and because you told them that they got to do it just because you said not to.
i find it funny that someone can say i was born like that.
this is not even a bible question, common sence question if i might say.
without an angry answer , try to explain how you feel about this topic.
do you think its a behaviour that one is born with or rebellion?

Answer 1

It is a rebellion.

Answer 2

I believe that homosexuality is a temptation that is given in to. For some reason, some people are tempted in this area much more than others. For some it is drugs, others stealing, lying, etc. For some reason it is a very strong temptation for some people and is very difficult for them to deal with. It angers them that the Bible says it is wrong yet they feel they have no control over it. This is what has led science to search for a biological answer. No conclusive affirmation of this has or will be found though because it is not biological. Jesus promised that through him alone sin can be defeated, although Christians will sin from time to time it is an act rather than a practice. It is a difficult struggle for homosexuals but I would point out that if God is powerful enough to create the cosmos than he surely is powerful enough to give a person the strength to withstand their desires and be obediant to Him if they are willing to repent and trust him. Sorry for being on the soap box but thats my position.

Answer 3

I never thought of it as a rebellion and I seriously think you have no clue on this one. I mean, who in their right mind would put themselves in a situation in our redneck american culture like that just to rebel? And, yes, a mental problem is one of the more common theories about homosexuals.

Now, for my own experiential thoughts. I think it is natural for people to be homosexual based on knowing some homosexuals and doing a little research. Years ago I was friends with a lesbian and I asked her about it. When did she know she was a lesbian, stuff like that. She said she always liked girls and she was always attracted to them, and that was something I could relate to. We both were always attracted to women, before we knew that you had a choice. So, how can she be wrong and me be right?
And, a gay friend of mine once told me that even Natives in the old days sometimes were gay and different tribes handled it differently, but that they existed at all shows that it's not a social disorder of the modern world..
More recently I saw a movie called Kinsey which was based on the making of the Kinsey Reports, a series of scientific studies put into popular books about sexuality in America. I think you might be amazed by them.

Answer 4

Yes I think it is rebellion against God and our own natural body. I think it's just like any other sin we commit. We are born into sin, we like satisfying the lust of the flesh. We deny that it is wrong and try and convince as many people as possible to agree with us to ease our guilt. We believe our own lies and there you have blinded by our own desire for sin. I notice that a lot of people use the term "sexual orientation", Another words this is something that is learned something some people are "oriented towards".
There are cells in our bodies that attribute to the male & female race. There are no cells that attribute to the newly excepted type of human being called a homosexual. Society has become lax in it's morals and most people don't have enough B*lls to call it like it is. Everyone wants to be politically correct so society sits on it's **s with it's eyes closed and it's mouth taped shut. Behaivors are learned.

Answer 5

No you are not correct. Being gay is no more a choice then you choosing to be straight? Did you wake up one day and say HEY I think I will be straight? Many of the gay Christians I know have struggled with their identity for years, trying to justify to them selves, that if the Bible says homosexuality is wrong then why do I feel this way. I know one friend who has been struggling and battling it for 40 plus years. He finally came to terms with himself, and after years of depression is finally happy. I cannot be more happy for him. So NO it is not a conscience choice of rebellion. They are who they are and only want to live their lives with the same rights as everyone else. They are not out to rebel against and church or the Bible, or any government. They just want to be left alone to live their lives in peace.

Answer 6

I think you're incorrect. Any homosexual I've ever known has said they didn't choose to be homosexual, they just are, as I didn't choose to be heterosexual. They aren't seeking to rebel, just to do what feels right for them. I don't know if homosexuality is inert, learned or some combination of the two, but I don't really think its all that important. Homosexuality is a part of human nature, whether we like it or not or don't even care, so we might as well accept gay people for what they are. By stigmatizing homosexuality, we're not helping anything, we're causing people to feel undue shame and living in a state of denial.

Answer 7

Interesting. I don't think most people would "rebel" by choosing a way of life that is hated and feared by other people. I don't know any person alive who would say, "Gee, I don't think life is hard enough. I think I'll become a homosexual!" I think some people are attracted to the opposite sex, and some people are attracted to the same sex. Who cares if people are born like that or not? Does it matter in the long run?

Answer 8

No I don't think you are correct nor do I think you really know any homosexual people well at all. The majority don't make a conscious decision as a form of rebellion, they are just acting their natural self. For them homosexuality is natural just like heterosexuality is for others.

Answer 9

Homosexuality is a fact, not just in humans but in many animal species as well. With your premise you would be saying that the gay dolphins, chimps, birds, etc are all rebelling too.
Homosexuality is an emotional attraction for others of the same sex. A person can participate in same sex acts and not be a homosexual - prisoners, your rebels, etc. Don't confuse the two.

Answer 10

I would say about 3/4 of homosexuals admit to being homosexual because it's a trend nowadays, I've noticed. They change from homosexual to bisexual and then all the way to heterosexual as if they can't make their minds up. In all fairness I find that repulsive and insulting towards those who are actually homosexual. You could imagine that compared to changing religions like there's no tomorrow and then ending up back with the religion you were brought up with. Behaviour like that bagatellises the entire concept. Of religion as well as sexual orientation, and it's hard enough for gay people to come clear with their orientation, the last thing they need is someone making it look like it's no big deal...

I was born with a somewhat rebellious streak, but I'm not homosexual. I just act differently from most people, is all. So I don't think rebelliousness has a lot to do with it.

Answer 11

No, I do not agree with you.

If a teenager claims to gay, has one same-sex partner in their entire lifetime, and has nothing but opposite-sex partners for the rest of their life ... that was probably rebellion.

When 2 men or 2 women are together for 10 years, that isn't rebellion. When a person tries for years and years to make a heterosexual relationship work because they want so badly to fit in, but finally and tearfully accept the fact that they want to be with another man or another woman, that's not rebellion.
