In Reply to: Homosexuality as a "genetic" trait? posted by Andy Skip Matthews on December 07, 1999 at 11:20:26:
: Here is my two cents.
: (First got to give my shout-outs) Howdy Bill, Steve, Martha, and anyone else that I know or who knows me.
: How can we consider the fact that homosexuality is genetically inherited.
: God states that homosexuality is a sin.
: God also states that he made us and knew us in our mothers womb.
: If both of those statements are true, then homosexuality must be a result of something that occurs after birth. Would God be justified in "making" a person a homosexual, then condemning them for that over which they have no control?
: I have no problem with people that are homosexuals. We should show them the same love that God shows people who are straight. In the same manner, their sin should be condemned like one who murders or someone who has premarital sex or myself.
: Sin is sin, but praise God that his Love transcends it.
