N YOUR ARTICLE YOU SEEM TO BE IN AGREEMENT WITH THE FACT THAT PEOPLE ARE NOT BORN GAY IN ANY WAY, AND IF THEY ARE THEY HAVE CHOSEN TO BE THAT WAY. IF GOD CONTROLS ALL THE CIRCUMSTANCES AROUND US THAT MAKES US CHOSE AND HE KNOWS WHAT WE CHOSE AND WE CANT CHOSE AGAINST WHAT HE KNOWS [NO FREE WILL] WHATS THE DIFFERENCE IN THE TWO
Dear Brian: You ask what is the "difference in the two." What "two?" You question is not clear. Yes, this is God's creation, God's Universe. He made it and all that in it is. He also made humanity, and He made them spiritual weak, not spiritually strong, so when confronted with a temptation to SIN, humanity SINS. He sins VOLUNTARILY FROM HIS PERVERTED HEART. No one, not even God FORCES HIM TO SIN AGAINST HIS WILL. It is your WILL TO SIN whether you feel good or bad about it or the results. Man has a will, this has never been denied. But.......BUT, man's will is not free from causality. The lust of the flesh and the lest of the eyes and the pride of life are SIN (I John 2:15-16). Yet men DESIRE AND WILL from the HEART to do these sinful things. For this he must be JUDGED. It matter not whether he could have avoided the circumstances and lust that caused him to sin. The fact is that he did si n, and he desired to sin FROM HIS HEART. This is the thing that must be CHANGED--his corrupt heart. And it is not a sin on God's part for making humanity so spiritually weak that they would sin and also DESIRE FROM THEIR HEART to sin. It is a way and means to a greater good. God is "makING humanity in HIS SPIRITUAL IMAGE, and the sins and foolishness of humanity are a part of the means to that grant design and goal.
True, most of humanity faults God for this grand plan and purpose, but that attitude will also be judged and corrected in time.
God be with you,
Ray
