Ok I think I have grasped the method for your madness. Being homosexual is a diagnosable mental illness or disorder....in my DSM III.
the DSM III was published in 1980 so no homosexuality was not a diagnosable mental illness.
The DSM III does contain Ego-dystonic homosexuality. Which was defined as having a desire to be heterosexual but not experiencing heterosexual arousal, or experiencing unwanted or distressing homosexual arousal that gets in the way of being heterosexual.
Basically wanting to change your orientation was the mental illness here.
But I see that they changed it and deleted it from the DSM V. So you knew this and wouldnt mention it because it used to be in there and that would leave mrhasntcomeoutyet in a spiritual quandry! No wonder you dodge tigs! You have to, lol!
Ego-dystonic homosexuality was removed in 1987 with emerging research showing that homosexuals wanting to change their orientation was based on a history of abuse stemming back to childhood.
A little google-fu revealed that, they wanted to enhance it so asked for any scientific evidence that mental illness is involved and they did not have any actual data (because it was obvious to everyone at first so no research was felt to be needed, lol.) So they did take it out in DSM V (and above I suppose. )
Way back in 1972 homosexuality was removed because of a complete lack of evidence that it was a mental illness.
The small group who claimed it was a mental illness couldn't provide any evidence despite being directly asked for evidence many times. and 50+ years later....still no evidence. imagine that.
I'll give you that. The finest Doctors in the world have changed their mind and say being homo doesnt mean you have mental illness. Now then, that said....
The finest minds didn't beleive it was a mental illness in the first place
I ask you as a good christian brother...What makes you think that the Lord God changed His stance on being a homo too? Is being Home or trans now acceptable to God? Is it not an Abomination any more?
Jesus fulfilled the Law and created the new covenant which is why abominations like eating shellfish and having a tattoo and putting up a Christmas tree are no longer a thing.
