Why are we obsessed with where this originates from? What does it matter if people are born with an inclination for people of the same sex or if they develop it later in life? Regardless of the answer, the source is the same, the sinful Adamic nature of man. Rom 5:12 Therefore, as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin; and so death passed unto all men, for that all sinned: Rom 5:12 Therefore, as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin; and so death passed unto all men, for that all sinned:.
Heb 9:27 And inasmuch as it is appointed unto men once to die, and after this cometh judgment;.We are all condemned to Hell for our sins, be they homosexuality, adultery, murder or lying or anything else that is sin toward God. All sin separates us from God, there is no little sin, all will and have convicted us of eternal death in Hell. All sin comes from our Adamic fallen nature including homosexuality. So to say that someone was born that way is true up to a point.
The real point is not that they are tempted by homosexual thoughts and desires, but they make the choice to act upon them! Then it changes from temptation to sin. We all fight temptation one way or the other, what it comes down to is our response to that temptation. For the Christian, this is when we need to bow in prayer and call on God's Promises in 1Corinthians 10:13 " There hath no temptation taken you but such as man can bear: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation make also the way of escape, that ye may be able to endure it. " We do not have any control over temptation entering our lives, but, we have complete control over how we choose react to the temptation!
Why are we spending our time arguing where this comes from and how instead of fulfilling The Great Commission and telling people those who commit this and other sins that they are going to Hell if they don't repent? If we as Christians fail to tell others about their sins and their only hope for forgiveness is only found in Jesus Christ, nothing else matters! Not the source, not the type of sin or what someone may or may not have said. It all comes down to when you stand before Jesus on Judgement Day. He will either be your Savior or He will be your Judge.
