No One Is Born a Homosexual
The quotes in the next three paragraphs of this article will be the comments of Michael L. Brown writing on September 8th as a guest columnist for OneNewsNow:
There is no clear evidence that anyone is “born gay.” One of the major gay activist talking points, it has even infiltrated parts of the church—but it is based on lies, not truth.
Brown quotes gay activist and history professor John D’Emilio who says:
“Born gay” is an idea with a large constituency (LGBT and others). It’s an idea designed to allay the ingrained fears of a homophobic society and the internalized fears of gay, lesbians, and bisexuals. What’s most amazing to me about the “born gay” phenomenon is that the scientific evidence for it is thin as a reed, yet it doesn’t matter. It’s an idea with such social utility that one doesn’t need much evidence in order to make it attractive and credible.
In other words, because the “born gay” idea has proved so useful, the fact that there’s virtually no scientific support for the theory hardly matters. It is an idea that has worked wonders for gay activists and their allies.
It is simply the case that people desiring to live in sin will use any outlandish statement to try and justify their ungodly behavior. In 2005, the Task Force on Religion and Mental Health said, “Researchers now openly admit that after searching for more than 20 years, they are still unable to find the ‘gay gene’” [Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons].
Can one choose to believe that he or she was born to be a homosexual, a thief, a murderer, or any other number of things? Absolutely! But choosing to believe that something is true does not make it true! For years a movement has been underway to deny that sin or wrongdoing exists. And if one does commit sin or wrongdoing, it is said that he cannot help it because of a certain disposition from birth.
The Bible teaches us that human beings are created in the image of God and then emphasizes that “male and female He created them” (Gen. 1:27). God also instructed the man and woman He created: “Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth” (Gen. 1:28). The reproduction process is impossible for homosexuals to accomplish by themselves (two men or two women). Common sense alone should be sufficient to convince rational people that God did not create humans with the possibility of having a “homosexual gene.”
The Bible clearly states that God “is no respecter of persons” (Acts 10:34). His will for all of mankind is the same—for each person to abide by His laws. Environment and society does indeed affect people, but all can choose to overcome their environment and society if they so choose!
