Homosexuality and the Power of Desensitization Part 3
2016 Oct 9th Streaming
Greetings Everyone!
We trust all is well with you all. We have had a busy three weeks. This past Monday Katherine’s mom went to be with the Lord. We were there this past weekend and saw her before she pasted. The Father is so faithful (Eph 1:9)! We have been really busy on the go all week. As new creation see-thru-ers we stand with the apostle Paul when he said “Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, [therewith] to be content.” Thank you for your prayers and encouragement! This week we continue with our message on Homosexuality and the Power of Desensitization. This week will be part 3 looking at “This is the way God Made Me.”
This idea has come about because of the need to find an answer for the feelings and emotions that drive homosexuality. Many advocate and believe that those who become “gay” or enter the “homosexual life style” are not that way by choice. They say these powerful feelings and emotions didn’t come by a choice made by the individual but rather are there by birth. These individuals are born that way because of their genetic predisposition. They are born with a “gay gene” and this makes their actions a normal natural response to who they are by birth. They are not to blame for their sexual or gender choices and decisions. After all if someone is born with certain genetic traits, there is nothing they can do about it except live the way they were born.
This may sound good and acceptable if you are looking for justification. A very popular statement going around today is, “it’s not your fault”. If you listen and buy into that line of thinking, then nothing anyone does is their fault. Ultimately this means they have no responsibility or accountability for their decisions and actions. So, let’s take a look at the “gay gene” idea. Homosexuals are identified not by a trait or a gene, but rather by their actions. Without the action, they would be indistinguishable from any other person. It is only when they alter their behavior that they become a group that is recognized as being different. If we were to acknowledge momentarily that homosexuality is genetic, then one could conclude that those individuals were not responsible for being homosexual. Their actions and behaviors would be outside of their control. They would simply be living who they are by birth. Let’s talk about it…..
Love in Christ,
David & Katherine
