I am going to stick my neck on the line here because it doesn't help to base things on what is not true and bearing in mind it is the truth that sets us free and bearing in mind that truth and love are synonomous with each other.
No one is born a homosexual. No one is born a heterosexual. When we are born we are asexual. All that matters to a baby is love, warmth, food, being hugged and sleep. Ask a baby to explain sexuality to you and he/she will probably blow a raspberry at you as they tend not to be worried about things that are not important to them. Now, if you don't feed them, they will soon let you know in no uncertain terms.
What we are born with or in is God's image. What I am led to understand is that in Hebrew, God is both male and female. Elohim, one of God's Hebrew names is female. Adoni is male. Nowhere is there any understanding of God being male and male or female and female.
At the same time God when he created Adam in his image, created Eve out of Adam. She was not a seperate creation like Adam was. That means that Adam and Eve were two parts of a whole. They were a natural fit. One has only to look at the male/female body to realise that. One has only to realise that men are rational and women are not to realise that. (did I say something wrong?). Well, that is what my wife tells me when she says something and I say that it is not rational. Her reply is "What do you expect. I am a woman." Nuf zed.
That means the total revelation of scripture is male/female, man/wife. I don't find anywhere in scripture that God has changed his mind about that and has decided to create homosexuals as a representation of his image. So, where did it all go wrong?
As we know, since satan was thrown out of heaven he has been trying to get back at God anyway he can. Of late he has hit onto the idea that if he can break up the family he will have done a good job because the family is the ultimate expression of God and it is the basis of all successful societies.
What he has managed to do is spread lies of humungous proportions which is not surprising as he is the father of lies. Having put the boot into the family, he has told us that the family is no longer necessary, that anyone can be a successful parent, that boys don't need fathers, and that the child will not be affected by any parental computation. Whatever it is, the child will grow up happy, healthy and well adjusted.
Now, if you believe that, you will believe anything. You will believe that you are born homosexual not in the image of God; you will believe that you can successfully bring up children with your boyfriend; you will believe that the destruction of the family is not going to have a negative effect; you will believe that you can make up the rules as you go along; you will believe that it is OK to murder a million babies in the womb each year; you will believe that there are no such thing as norms; you will believe that marriage is all about two people of any gender being in love; you will believe that God's word is there for private interpretation to back up your abberation; you will believe that people who commit crime are not to blame it was their bad childhood; you will believe that there is nothing wrong with the pornification of society.
Which brings me back to the original point. A person adopts a homosexual way of life because of an emotionally defective childhood that has left them not knowing who they are and who to trust. The outcome is a sense of rejection which sends them on a journey to find acceptance. For the homosexual, that occurs in the arms of another man and where sex equals acceptance.
Because this is a lie of satan we know that what they are trying to achieve never happens. That is why in so called committed homosexual relationships, weekly adultery takes place. How do I know? They told me. That is why the average length of a committed homosexual relationship is 18 months. How do I know? I have read research produced by homosexuals themselves.
A lie always produces heartache for the person being lied to. Those that choose to ignore the tried and tested which means God's revealed will, are deceived and unfortunately will reap in their bodies what they sow. You will find very few homosexuals that are happy because in the main they are believing a lie. Satan has totally robbed them of the God given joy of a lifetime mate and children. That is why they are clamouring for SSM and the right to adopt children. They think that will bring happiness. It won't. It will only compound the sadness they already experience.
Homosexuals are second rate citizens because they have chosen a second rate way of life foisted on them by satan. Like everyone else who has done the same, i.e. the prostitute, the criminal, the adulterer, the fornicator, the kleptomaniac, the con merchant, they all are deceived and need to know the truth. That Jesus is the way, the truth and the life. To tell them that is love, not judgment.
Like all sinners, we need to be gracious to them the same as God was gracious to us bearing in mind that it was whilst we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. The only people you can't be gracious to are those who have made it clear they don't want to know and they won't let you be gracious.
They are not your problem or your responsibility. They will have to deal with their Maker and accept the consequences of their rebellion.
