Are people born to be homosexuals, is it in
their genes?
God’s word is clear,
Homosexuality is Abomination (sin):
The Bible (KJV) speaks clearly to the believer that
homosexuality is a sin. Leviticus 18:22: Thou shalt not lie with mankind,
as with womankind: it is abomination. The verse describes to “lie” (sex or
intimacy) between two men is abomination. It goes on to say if a woman lies
with a beast it is called confusion.
Back to the question: Were
you made by God to have homosexual feelings, are we born this way?
Let us approach this study from a logical and human stand
point. We first must establish where sin starts and move on in sequence.
Sin ALWAYS starts with a thought. You have the thought to do something, and then follow
the feelings; from here you decide if you will carry out the
action. The action could be good or bad, it all depends on what you decide
to do. When the thought (temptation) results in a bad action that is
against the law of God, it is called sin (Lev 18:22). On the other hand,
you may have a thought with no feelings, but you still decide to do that
which is against God’s commands (sin).
You disagree?
Did you ever see babies or very little children making
sexual advances towards their same sex peers?

Let us explain how it works:
In the first years, a child is like a learning machine,
everything they hear, touch and see is absorbed in their little minds. They
begin to understand the world of colour, sound, light, darkness, words and
yes, behavior. That is why it is so important to teach the child from early
what is right and what is wrong to do in the eyes of God.
The Thought: There is no doubt that the
thought of sexual behavior will come into play at some point – the child
will become aware. We are surrounded by magazines, pictures, internet,
cable tv and yes people that indulge in sexual
behavior in front of these learning minds (children). The thought is like a
seed planted in the mind.
The Feelings: With the thought planted in
the mind, there can be no associated feelings until the body has tasted and
experienced the action and what it brings. A child that knows a thought and
once taken to action is wrong in the sight of God will not do it. Yeah, who
are we kidding, we all were children and children love to experiment. Here
lies the problem; on their own children will experiment, especially older
children around younger ones. Sad to say, adults too will “play” with
children and this starts the practice. This is why it is so important for
parents to guard the minds and bodies of their little children and teach
them in the early what is right and wrong in the site of God; we cannot
emphasize this enough. You see if a child is stimulated, stimulation leads
to the activity of hormones that in effect causes an addiction. Bear in
mind an addiction is not always bad. When you first become one (sex) with
someone (after you have committed to each other of course - what is biblical
marriage?), a sexual addiction immediately follows; some call it being
turned on. You see, in a person, the feelings come alive when the hormones
are generated. The urge to satisfy this feeling grows until you embrace and
complete the act; this cycle repeats itself over again and over again
because you have become completely addicted to the person or activity. All
this happens in children too. There is a bad and good addiction. A bad
addiction is when it transgresses the law of God, in this case same sex
behavior between adults.
You disagree?
Let us have the thought to do the action of becoming one
(sex) with your balls/ovaries removed. There will be no feelings, hence no
more sexual drive. Stimulation of the body by external/visual means creates
feelings that we would want to experience again and again. This is how we
are made. It may be less enjoyable but you can still go ahead and decide to
engage in the abomination (sex) with the sexual feelings absent because of
castration. So the question is, do you obey your feelings or do you obey
and choose to follow God’s word? Your choice.
The Decision: Assuming as young
children/adults we know the thought but have not yet experienced the
feelings, but we know it is wrong to have a same sex relationship (by God’s
law). Also, assuming we have not indulged in self play (in Barbados it is
called jerking off). Here you are a totally innocent individual with a
decision to make. Do you go against God’s law or do you obey your thoughts
by carrying out the action. This is the decision we all have to make at
some time. This is why sin is a choice, so let us no longer blame genes.
Why? If a person you care for had a venereal decease that would immediately
eat your little d.ick off, we assure you, you
will choose not to have sex or you may choose to have sex with protection.
You see we always come back to the choices we make (decisions).
You still disagree?
It is the same with a thief. Have you ever seen little
babies reaching over their cribs in the delivery room to see what they can
take from their neighbours? A child has the thought to take from another
child a toy. The toy when stolen brings gratification (hey I have a new toy
I like). After the first stolen toy, the child knows what the feeling is
like. Why? They have experienced it, they play with the stolen toy and it
brings enjoyment – happy hormones are flowing. Now they see another child
with a great toy, they have the thought, and then the feelings follow, the
temptation is irresistible. They steal again and it becomes a habit. This
is how we are made; it is in our nature to do what feels good.
Do we say that people are born with a gene to steal? No, we
say they choose to steal. It is their choice.
DO NOT BELIEVE THE LIE. Genes determines our
characteristics and to some degree our abilities, however, our thoughts and
decisions determine our behavior.

To those that already share a homosexual relationship and
have no “feelings” towards the opposite sex, not to worry, there is still
hope in the Lord. We invite you to listen to persons that were in your
position. Be blessed.
