5 Lies About Homosexuality by Nobody: 1:07pm On Jun 04, 2013
LIE #1: Some people are born homosexual.
FACT: There is no conclusive scientific
evidence for any genetic trait causing
homosexuality, bisexuality, or transgendered
desires.
LIE #2: Homosexual activity is harmless, so
no one should criticize it.
FACT: The consequences of homosexual
behavior are devastating, and risky
homosexual acts continue even when
community acceptance increases. In San
Francisco, the rate of sexually transmitted
diseases among homosexuals remains very
high, despite a tolerant climate. Substance
abuse and suicide attempts are much higher
among homosexuals.
LIE #3: No one chooses to be homosexual,
so it must be inborn.
FACT: While homosexual desire may feel
very natural to some people, this does not
mean it is inborn, positive or unchangeable.
There is overwhelming evidence that
homosexual desire arises from traumatic
childhood experiences, such as sexual abuse
or a troubled family environment. These
desires can be overcome through
counseling. And—people always choose
sexual behavior, even if the feelings aren’t
chosen, unhealthy desires don’t have to be
acted upon.
LIE #4: A homosexual can never change to
become a heterosexual.
FACT: Thousands of people have overcome
homosexual desire. A network of ex-
homosexual organizations called Exodus has
several hundred affiliates around the world.
Exodus helps strugglers through Christian
support groups, prayer, and biblical
teaching. Some psychologists can help
homosexuals overcome homosexual desire
through individual counseling as well. Many
ex-homosexuals go on to marry and have
children.
LIE #5: The Bible doesn’t condemn
homosexuality. Therefore, a person can be a
proud homosexual and a Christian, too.
FACT: Scripture is very clear about
homosexuality. There are dire warnings in
the Bible about homosexual practices, both
for individuals and for communities. Read
Genesis 19, Leviticus 18:22, Leviticus
20:13, Romans 1:26-27, 1 Corinthians
6:9-11, 1 Timothy 1:10, 2 Peter 2: 6-10,
and Jude 6-7. Some say that because
Jesus did not explicitly mention
homosexuality, it must be permitted. But He
never mentioned rape or incest either—are
we to believe these are acceptable? And
Jesus was God, who had already made His
will known in the Old Testament. Jesus
affirmed in Matthew 19 and Mark 10 that
marriage is ordained for one man and one
woman. How can those who call themselves
Christians deliberately twist the word of
God?
Homosexuality is sin, but it is changeable.
There is hope for all of us sinners, as
expressed so beautifully in 2 Corinthians
5:17: "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he
is a new creation; old things have passed
away; behold, all things have become new."

Or heterosexuality.

community acceptance increases. In San
Francisco, the rate of sexually transmitted

There's no evidence that same sex sexual contact transmits any kind of special sexual disease that cannot be found among heterosexual.

There's no such credible study that attributes homosexuality, or same sex desire to traumatic events. Billions of known and unknown same-sex attracted individuals attest to that.

tendercharles: LIE #4: A homosexual can never change to

Good luck to any woman who marries a "reformed homosexual".

The bible is full of a lot of things. There's probably a verse that says breathing is against god. Plus wasn't there a nod to human sacrifice here and there?

You're going to have to try harder than that.
