Is anyone born gay?
‘ I am not saying that the capacity to have same-sex attractions or temptations is what theologians call “actual sin” (sinful thoughts, desires, words, and actions). However, the concepts of “original and indwelling sin” fit every description of a same-sex sexual orientation. Original sin is an unchosen condition, and indwelling sin is a persistent pattern of sinful desires or behaviors. Why try to reappropriate and redeem a term when a working biblical framework already exists?
Some today say that sexual and romantic attraction for people of the same sex is rooted in the image of God, not the fall — and that it’s therefore good or even sanctifiable. This stems from the misunderstanding that “being gay” includes appreciating same-sex beauty. However, if we broaden sexuality to include non-sexual and non-romantic appreciation for beauty, then everybody would be gay. That is as nonsensical as it is unhelpful.
However, if acting on same-sex sexual and romantic desire is sin, then there’s nothing neutral or sanctifiable about it. These desires stem from the fall, not the image of God. Sexual sin always involves a moral component. Same-sex attraction finds its genesis in original sin. And let’s be crystal clear: there’s nothing neutral or innocent about original sin.
With same-sex attractions, the problem is sin. But for Christians, our God has not left us without the answer. ’ From desiringgod.org/articles/is-anyone-born-gay
I am happy to see more and more Christians being bold and declaring the truth about the gay movement, from the Bible’s perspective. We need more light to shine in the darkness.

I am curious why do you write so much about homosexuality.
How about because homosexuality is evil and the culture proclaims that it's good?
Why do you consider that loving people of the same sex is evil? Just because an ancient holy book states that?
I believe the Bible is the Word of God. Read my post about the Bible

Thank you for teaching me to use steemit. I am new here but I am learning.
I will write in my next post why I choose to speak about the LGBT movement. Allow me a few more days to finish a small project and have time to give you a proper answer. I think this should be a post in itself. Thank you!

Homosexuality is evil, sick, twisted, and perverted. There's no such thing as "love" between homosexuals. It's all about exploitation. There's much more violence among homosexual couples than heterosexual couples. There's much more cheating as well. Homosexuals of both sexes are much more promiscuous as well.
The Bible is clear that practicing homosexuals will not get to heaven.
(1 Corinthians 6:9-11 NIV) Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders {10} nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. {11} And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.
