BBC News | Sci/Tech | Doubt cast on 'gay gene'

BBC News Sci/Tech Doubt cast on 'gay gene'

Recent post I made to a gay person looking for a Church on the craigslist religion thread:

I am sure that you have been totally indoctrinated by the currant ASA and educationally "decision" that being gay is not a choice. I would agree that some people have "tendencies" toward this behavior. There is a big difference between being part of a group of people with certain tendencies and being part of a type of people. Example: I know of plenty of ex-Gays, but I have never met an ex-Black person. The research about the supposed "gay gene" has been proven flawed many times over. The fact is that militant left has had a purposeful agenda to change the morays of our society through the ASA and public education for decades. The feminization of the American male is one of the results. That is kind of separate issue but I would argue strongly related to homosexuality. Think about how many gay men started out as boys who were fatherless, had a father who left, had an un-accepting un-loving father, and/or were abused by another male at a young age or exposed to pornography at a young age. In light of these things, any thinking person must admit there is compelling evidence that there are plenty of contributing factors that result in homosexual behavior, none of which are genetic.

My advice to you is to quit drinking the Liberal cool-aid, find a Bible and study it for all its worth and/or take a Theology course (free video base one found at bible.org)don't focus on tradition or a "Church" per say, focus on a relationship with Christ. Try to remember that Christ was not a Liberal despite what the current apostate Church may have convinced you, BUT, he does love sinners. He just hates the sin. Also know that I do not think of you as any less of a person, or worse of a sinner than myself. The only difference between you and I is that I have accepted there is a problem and that there is NOTHING I can do on my own to reconcile myself with God. I am still tempted everyday, and still sin everyday. I try very hard to turn away from sin and temptation and after almost 20 years of "willful" sin I realized what had happened and how I had drifted to the point I no longer even viewed my behavior as sin. The bible talks about "seared conscience". When one sins long enough and separates himself long enough, his conscience is dulled. Back to you, the Bible talks about an apostate Church in the end times and how right will be wrong, and wrong will be right. Think about that when you think you have found a Church that claims nothing is wrong with homosexuality.

I would seriously consider dealing with any emotional issues you might have and don't rule out physical as well. For example, I have been on medication that caused a state of very low testosterone. So I got it treated. I would consider finding a strong Bible teaching Church and stay away from revisionist Churches. Remember that there were tons of heresies during the beginning of the Church, why is today any different? I would stay away from any Church that puts works before grace and faith, or puts anything or anyone above Christ, including tradition. I would also consider doing some research into exactly why Luther and hundreds more died to reform the Church and get back to including only the Books that the Jews included in the Old Testament. I know this is a lot, but if you believe in the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob then be the best Christian you can be. No other Religion offers a way to deal with guilt through a perfect atonement. You believe this bunk science based on faulty research. The Bible has more evidence to authenticity than that, so believe it.

God bless you in your search for truth. Remember the Bible says God will accept you no matter what you have done, but he expects repentance and acceptance of his son Jesus Christ.

PS: As far as you burning in Hell. The Bible is very clear that if one chooses to be separated by God he can be, and that God will not force anyone to be in his presence in the afterlife if they chose not to be during life. I am sure you can find a Church that will allow you to attend without addressing your lifestyle, but I guarantee you they are not teaching the whole word of God, in context, and with sound Theology. I hear there are even Churches with gay pastors now, so I am not sure why you’re asking here if that’s all your looking for. Ciao...
