In the last 30 years, the American people have been fed lie after lie that the homosexual lifestyle is a normal way of living and that there was just a matter of time before scientists
would even prove that a person was born gay. So the idea that the gay lifestyle is natural has been successfully propagated by promoting a “victim” image and by the pseudo-science alleging a ‘gay” gene. We were fed report after report that scientists are getting closer to proving a gay gene exists.
Then in a well publicized report put out by the APA in 1998, it was stated, “There is considerable recent evidence to suggest that biology, including genetic or inborn hormonal factors, play a significant role in a person’s sexuality.” With a crescendo of approval the MSM touted this report while the left used it to make major inroads with the public to equate homosexuality with heterosexuality. There were those whom the media and politicians catered to who claimed this proved that homosexuals are victims of a society that will not allow them to be what they have no control over being. After all, they were born that way. Just as a Black person has no control over the color of their skin, neither can a person born to love another of the same sex.
The only problem is that in all the so called scientific reports that science is getting closer to proving the existence of a “gay” gene, not a single one ever survived scientific peer review. Now in a complete reversal the APA has backed off their previously held stance that there was evidence that abhorrent sexual behavior is genetic. Now the APA has revised that statement and omitted the above sentence. The newest APA brochure, which appears to be an update of the older one, is titled, “Answers to Your Questions for a Better Understanding of Sexual Orientation & Homosexuality.” The newly worded statement is as follows;
“There is no consensus among scientists about the exact reasons that an individual develops a heterosexual, bisexual, gay or lesbian orientation. Although much research has examined the possible genetic, hormonal, developmental, social, and cultural influences on sexual orientation, no findings have emerged that permit scientists to conclude that sexual orientation is determined by any particular factor or factors. Many think that nature and nurture both play complex roles…”
So now the APA is in agreement with those who have said time and time again, there is no “gay” gene. However, I will admit that study after study have shown that homosexuals are victims, but they are victims of their own perverted behavior.
Something most people do not think about when considering homosexual behavior is the very unsanitary behavior they practice. Typical homosexual behavior includes regular contact with fecal matter from oneself and from sexual partners, tragically reversing several centuries of learning about cleanliness. It is the better understanding of germs and sanitary practices that have led members of our society to live a longer lifespan. Thus homosexual behavior, through the very nature of achieving sexual pleasure, reverses the advancement of longevity among those who practice it. All available evidence indicates that the lifespan of practicing homosexual persons is drastically shortened by their behavior. There is no reliable study that indicates otherwise. Added to this is the sad reality that the shortened lifespan of homosexuals is taboo subject among homosexual advocates. The evidence is damaging to the case that it is as normal as heterosexual behavior is.
This is what the Scriptures tell us about why men and women practice the behavior of homosexuality.
“(For they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural, and in the same way also themen abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error.) Romans 1:25-27 (NASV)
In reality, men and women who practice such abhorrent behavior do it out of their own desires. It is, in a real sense, a choice. That choice is to reject God and His laws upon which HE [God] then in turn punishes the offender. Its not a genetic flaw but is in fact exactly what the Scriptures have always said it is: SIN. And its not a mental illness. It is a willful rejection of God. The shortened lifespan they have, along with the diseases all men and women get from sexual immorality is a punishment from God. Lest anyone think otherwise though, sin is sin regardless of who practices it. Heterosexuals sin also when they practice any behavior not sanctioned by God as normal sexual behavior between a married man and woman.
One last point I must make. I love all God’s people and even those who do not want Him I am called to love. Sin is anything that falls short of the perfection of God, and we all fall short of His glory and thus need the blood of His Son to wash away our sins. It is love to warn those who practice sinful behavior, it is hate to allow someone to wallow in sin and loose their soul. I warn homosexuals they are in danger of hell, just as I would warn a heterosexual who is engaged in sexual behavior outside of a marriage. Both must repent and change their behavior. Failure to warn those living in sin would be a sin in itself. That would be the sin of neglect, and we are told to tell the truth at all cost, even if it means it would cost me my life as it did all but one of the disciples of Christ.
