Urges
Is homosexuality a choice? Or is it genetic?
Is it genetic? Well it could be, but so is selfishness. So is pride. So is the tendency to lie, cheat, steal, even kill to protect ourselves. So does that make it right?
Is homosexuality a choice? Or is it genetics?
Is it a choice? Since man can choose to be selfless, humble, truthful, honest, and loving, I think it follows that it is possible.
Is it a choice? Or is it genetics? In all honesty, it is probably both.
Some say genetics defines you and you should not fight who you are. But what if you are a psychopath? Are you saying you shouldn’t fight the urges to hurt other people? Or what about cutting yourself? Or binging? That is a dangerous line of thought to follow.
Let me give you an example very close to home. I have struggled personally with forms of homosexual urges. I am not a homosexual. I have never been with another man, nor do I want to. I have never done anything with someone else nor do I have the urge to do so. What I have struggled with is watching certain explicit forms on the internet and it reviles me.
It reviles me because I know that it is a perversion and because that is not what I want. It started innocently enough when I was younger and got out of control as I grew older. But there is something I learned. (1) You cannot fight it alone. (2) It is a choice. God can change your hearts desire. He can change those urges. (3) It takes time to get over an addiction, even more time to get over an urge after it has become an addiction.
The one thing I want more than anything is to marry and have a family of my own. At this time in my life I am not yet married. I want a wife. Not because that is what society says is normal, or because of some sort of appeasement to the norm, but because it is truly what I want. God has changed my desires. For those who also struggle with this, that may sound like empty words, but please believe me. I am not playing word games with you.
The family of God is so much more satisfying than the family of homosexuality. Believe me. There are many of you that have been hurt by people who claim to be Christians. You have been hurt by many people who are in or even lead churches. On account of true Christianity, I apologize. We Christians are not perfect and we have wronged many of you. I am sorry. God has so much more for you than that though. He truly does and if you give us another chance, I hope you will find that this is true. That God can set you free, He can change your urges, He can change your heart, And His way is a much, much, much better way.
