Due to a multitude of questions that have been hurled my way due to the marriage situation in New York, I have been pressed to write.
First thing first. All sexuality is a choice!
This may come as a surprise to many people in our world today. People are not, by nature, born homosexual. They are not born fornicators or adulterers. People are not born celibate. Abstinence is not natural either.
We are born sexual beings. We choose, due to many life situations, the path of our sexuality.
How can someone be celibate and another be so driven that sex overtakes their life?
We choose life paths and the results are being defined as we travel our chosen direction.
We are, by nature, liars, thieves, cheats and sexually confused. We must learn to overcome our natural motivations and discipline ourselves to a proper way of living life.
I know, this thought will anger many who believe that we should not deal with the basic nature of the human creature. Let everyone do as they desire and there will be peace in our world. What a lie!
Here’s the real issue. Who establishes the standard for our lives?
Does God or does man?
The answer to this question will drive your life down a certain pathway.
We know, or at least should by now, that man desires to experience, fulfill and even exploit all of his natural inclinations. If man’s nature is fallen then the progression to perversion will be unleashed.
If man comes to realize his fallen nature and desires to do something about it, let’s say disciplining himself to a standard set by his Creator, he will work to overcome his base desires and train himself to live rightly before God.
If a human being does not believe in God or that God has the authority to set the standard for proper living for the human, well, all discipline is thrown off and the result will be a society moving rapidly to accept as moral the worst of imaginable perversions.
The choice is yours. Will you die to self and follow the way of the Lord or go your own way down a path of self desire?
I’m not forcing my morality on anyone here. I just want you to know and understand the truth of what is before us.
All sexuality is a choice.
I agree: homosexuality is a learned behavior. So also is alcoholism.
Years ago I took a two hour course at Fort Hays entitled Deviant Sociology. Dr. Rose the instructor, and the text book then used, described homosexuality as a learned behavior.
