Christians...is sexual attraction a choice?

[Moonjuice]

My world? What would “my world” be? Do you know how many categories and subcategories of sexuality there are e in “my world”? Not just is bisexual. It’s not either/or.

Evidently, you live in a world where men are sexually attracted enough to both sexes to get erections and have oral sex with men and women, and that is not the definition of bisexual. In my world, that is the exact definition of bisexual.

 

[Dan From Smithville]

I don’t know. My family always said I’m outta this world.

I recently discovered my planet of origin.

It is rather mundane, as it turns out just to be this one that we are on.

 

[Moonjuice]

I am confused. I thought we all lived on just this one world. How did he find out you were from somewhere out there?

That would be a figure of speech Dan. Too difficult to understand?

Expand your horizons.

I'm sorry. I lost my English to condescending dictionary. My apologies.

No problem, apology accepted. We can be friends again, unless that means I have to live in your world. (Direct from the book of sarcasm, which I have not lost.)

I assume l've is live? I have no evidence of anyone living on a different world. What world you reckon you are living on? What is the gravity like there? How's the fishing?

Weak. If we’re doing stand up, you gotta bring your A game.

 

[Dan From Smithville]

Weak. If we’re doing stand up, you gotta bring your A game.

But not so weak as condescension where it is not needed.

 

[Moonjuice]

But not so weak as condescension where it is not needed.

It’s super needed.

 

[Dan From Smithville]

It’s super needed.

I see. I hurt your feelings. You got nailed hard and are looking for a way back in your mind. I applaud your efforts. Everyone should have a stretch goal.

I believe that sexual orientation is largely biological, which means that it’s not a choice for the majority. The whole gender issue seems to have exploded over recent decades. And it’s interesting how many of the churches have responded.

Something that came to my attention some time ago, is the fact that the partners of many lesbian women are themselves not actually “gay”. They are very feminine and are in a relationship with a female who hormonally and often physically, presents as male. It does not feel unnatural because the chemistry works. I came to understand that through interacting with a woman who was in a gay relationship. Her partner presented as very “male” to her. She had never considered herself “gay” and her relationship with her partner developed gradually over time, slowly bringing down the barriers she naturally once had. She said it was a natural progression that led to acceptance of the relationship.

It is true that God’s word condemns homosexual sex, but it also condemns heterosexual sex outside of marriage......nowhere does it condemn homosexual people. Immorality is what is condemned.

What the Bible says is very important because we never want to judge people for things over which they have no control. What they do have control over is their actions.

Immorality has no gender.....so as long as there is no immoral conduct, no one is condemned by God.

JW’s accept all people into our ranks but all are bound by the same rules. God’s moral laws are not negotiable to us.

I am curious about the entire concept of judging others. Are we supposed to judge others or is that to be left up to God? You seem to support the notion of judging others.

I have no doubt you have an opinion on this that will come to some length.

I did some review of this on the internet for clarification. I got a little sidetracked by the irony of the position taken on the topic by AIG. An organization that is noted for quote mining admonished others for taking Bible verses out of context. I found that rather amusing.

 

[Unveiled Artist]

Others disagree with you for a couple of reasons. But feel free to report it.

My two cents. Jain. It may have been an overlook on your part. It was in the Christian DIR and ideally only for christians. Maybe same faith would have been a more appropriate move since the same faith rules say to put who the thread is referring to in the title...I read that near ten years ago though. Don't know if it's been changed.

I agree weirdly with @Deeje about non christians adding their two cents (in general).

I am curious as why you found that post judgmental at all...but then again....you seem to find fault with everything I say.....so whatevs...

I am sure there are some people who would be amused by your amusement....I am not one of them....sorry to disappoint.

A vast majority of people neither chose their religion nor choose their sexuality.
Both are mostly accidents of birth.

While it is clearly possible to be convinced to believe a particular religion.
I have not seen it proved that it is possible to chose to have a particular sexuality.
However it is probably possible to have your sexual preference to change over time. whether you wish it or not.

 

[John1.12]

When it comes to homosexuality, there seems to be two primary points of view: You are either born this way, or you choose it. I am convinced that it is not a choice and that almost anyone can be convinced its not a choice in very short order. Are there any Christians here who still think its a choice?

Choosing to have sex with anyone is a choice .

And what do you suggest?

I have a suggestion... I’m done with this.

Clearly sex is a choice if you choose to have sex. Obviously. That’s not the question.

I guess keep in mind next time.

I hate internet sometimes. Tone of voice goes out the door. It's not meant to insult.

Excuse me!?
