I’ve been continually asked, “Do people choose to be homosexual?”

They never finish the question with an “or” because they prejudicially choose not to think of the possibility that God would create a homosexual. They also say it trying to ensnare the respondent with the story of the destruction of Sodom & Gomorrah!

Thus sayeth the Lord God, "I created not heterosexual, homosexual. I created one man one man able to love and be loved!"

That is the word of God, however, I usually answer these questions with the question, “When did you choose to be heterosexual?

First, for those who belief the Bible to be the exact and infallible Word of God, you must accept the words of King Solomon, and what the Prophets Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Zephaniah and the one you worship as your “God”, Jesus Christ said the sins of Sodom and Gomorrah were:

Wisdom 19:13

¶13 the sin of Sodom was a "bitter hatred of strangers" and "making slaves of guests who were benefactors."

---------------------------------------------

Isaiah 1:9-10

9 Except the LORD of hosts had left unto us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom, [and] we should have been like unto Gomorrah.

10 ¶ Hear the word of the LORD, ye rulers of Sodom; give ear unto the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah.

--------------------------------------

Jeremiah 23:14

14 I have seen also in the prophets of Jerusalem an horrible thing: they commit adultery, and walk in lies: they strengthen also the hands of evildoers, that none doth return from his wickedness: they are all of them unto me as Sodom, and the inhabitants thereof as Gomorrah.

--------------------------------------

Ezekiel 16:49-50

49 Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fulness (sic) of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.

50 And they were haughty, and committed abomination before me: therefore I took them away as I saw [good].

---------------------------------------------

Zephaniah 2:8-11

¶8 I have heard the reproach of Moab, and the revilings (sic) of the children of Ammon, whereby they have reproached my people, and magnified themselves against their border.

¶9 Therefore, as I live, saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, Surely Moab shall be as Sodom, and the children of Ammon as Gomorrah even the breeding of nettles, and saltpits, and a perpetual desolation: the residue of my people shall spoil them, ands the remnant of my people shall possess them.

¶10 This shall they have for their pride, because they have reproached and magnified themselves against the people of the LORD of hosts.

¶11 The Lord will be terrible unto them: for he will famish all the gods of the earth; and men shall worship him, every one from his place, even all the isles of the heathen.

---------------------------------------------

Matthew 10:5-15

¶5 These twelve Jesus sent forth and commanded them saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not:

¶6 But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

¶7 And as ye go, preach, saying, the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

¶8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.

¶9 Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses,

¶10 Nor scrip for your journey, neither two coats, neither shoes, nor yet staves: for the workman is
       worthy of his meat.

¶11 And into whatsoever city or town ye shall enter, inquire who in it is worthy; and there abide till ye go thence.

¶12 And when ye come into an house, salute it.

¶13 And if the house be worthy, let your peace be upon it: but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you.

¶14 And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet.

¶15 Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha (sic) in the day of judgment, then for that city.
 

Is homosexuality a Choice?

I sure as hell hope it is a choice and you are not forced! That is rape!

However, for those "heterosexuals or ones who think of themselves as heterosexual, when did you choose to be heterosexual?

Can you give me the date, and hour of your decision?

Why is your decision any more value than he or she that chooses homosexuality? According to the constitution, both decision are guaranteed by the Constitution.

If one is born the way they are, which is accordcing to the word of God, then others' railing them is asssailing against God! Either way, it is one's constitutional and/or God given right!

Why would any man consciously make a decision to be reviled, hated, persecuted, prosecuted, robbed, beaten, jailed and murdered? Would you?

All things being equal and proper, you are to make tens of thousands of decisions of choice every day. The verb, choice and choose means,

choice n. 1. The act of choosing; selection. 2. The power, right, or liberty to choose; option. 3. One that is chosen. 4. A number or variety from which to choose: a wide choice of styles and colors. 5. The best or most preferable part. 6. Care in choosing. 7. An alternative.

choose v. chose cho•sen choos•ing choos•es v. tr. 1. To select from a number of possible alternatives decide on and pick out. 2. a. To prefer above others: chooses the supermarket over the neighborhood grocery store. b. To determine or decide:

In essence, to make a choice is to discriminate, to determine, to decide. To decide for one’s self is the basis of God’s key principle, the “Freedom of choice” which God has endowed all man with as a basic right. IT IS ONE’S MOST PRECIOUS GOD GIVEN RIGHT which only Satan, his minions and a Satanic despots attempt to abridge or take away! God says that you are only responsible for you and therefore, God never abridges your freedom of choice.

Satan and depots, whether in a three piece suit or ministerial garb seek to deprive man of his freedom of choice.

Whether heterosexual or homosexual, in the same way as you can freely make the choice of whether to have sex with the person of your choice, you must recognize and extend that same right to others!

However, just as people can feel drawn to and have a strong attraction to members of the opposite or same gender, we can freely decide to violate our true nature, do the opposite because of peer and/or parental pressures. Some people feel intimidated and forced to violate their true nature by lying to themselves and others putting on a facade, a fake front, or to mask one’s true feelings. Either way, whether freely done or by coercion, we all make the conscious choice to do what we do! It is that simple!

When we are fighting within ourselves to express our true identify, it doesn’t seem nor appear to be simple because we are trying to weigh all aspects of our emotional need, part of which is to be accepted by the person or group who had expressed hatred or displeasure, with what we know to be our true identity. Such is the dilemma of life, the constant choice between truth or lie, good or evil God or Satan! Once you have experienced the true freedom in God, it is just that simple!

I hope this elucidates the question!

I pray God softens the hearts of all man so he can be and will allow others to be who and what they are without reservation of facade.

To thine own self, be true!

Know the truth and the truth will set you free!
