>>If homosexulaity is determined by genetics, how then do you account
for those homosexuals who have renounced homosexuality and reformed
their sexual morality.>>
That there are some who have changed their orientation seems to be clear.
That these are a vanishingly small percentage of all who have tried to do so
seems also clear.
People come in all varieties of sexual orientation, including those who
"swing" both ways. I suspect it is among those that we can find persons who
have "reformed." (your word).
"To ascribe behaviour to genetics is
a cheap cop out of morality, plain and simple."
Only if the behaviour is, itself, immoral. I argue that it is not, in
itself, immoral.
" Where is the justice
in absolving a pedophile of criminal behaviour because it is contesed
that he 'couldn't help it, my genes made me do it'."
None at all. But we are not addressing child abuse here.
" There is no
excuse for criminal behaviour, it is allways a result of moral
transgression or ignorance. But the law doesn't excuse ignorance, nor
should it exclude culpability based on the 'genetics' cop out."
I agree.
"'God is of purer eyes than to behold evil.' "
Again, I agree. The topic of discussion is, however, not that, but whether
or not all homosexual behavior IS evil. If all HB can be shown clearly to be
a sin, then I will, of course, agree, genetics or no genetics. The materials
on my web site, page 2, section 10, address this question. It is really the
only question of importance to a Christian.
