I really like your answer, but I have one question for you.
You stated that God doesn't make mistakes. I truly believe that also with my whole heart. But, what about a child born with a disability, for example those who are born without legs? Would you say that God doesn't make mistakes, therefore those people should live their lives legless and not try have a normal life with what feels comfortable and normal with them by getting leg transplants? Would you also consider that going against God's original plan?

This comparison is the first thing that came to my mind when I read your statement that God doesn't make mistakes, if he meant something, don't try something else (Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve).

Since you had my posting as a quote, I'm not sure if you want me to answer this or ghunter?

However, God does not make mistakes, man does by his wrong choices. If a child is born with a disability and medical science can help with transplants or whatever, then I have no problem with anyone trying to lead a better life. I believe that God has given man wisdom in certain matters (doctors and medical science). We must make sure to acknowledge that God gave the wisdom and thank Him for it. However, when science wants to replace God, then there's a problem.

You seem to be asking from a science/medical point of view and I understand that question. If you are trying to ask why anyone is born with a disability of anything, remember that we all are born in sin because of Adam and Eve. Some are born in certain ways because the mother made bad choices, or just because of the sinful state of the world.

Not knowing what you actually believe, it might be hogwash to you to mention the enemy of our soul and the choices we make for ourselves that can be so wrong in the end. I believe a lot of what is happening in the world today is the judgement dispensation coming upon us. The dispensation of Grace is fast closing.

Of course you need to believe the Word of God to comprehend this. There are many who call themselves Christians, but are only hearers of the Word and not doers. Anybody who is a genuine child of God will adhere to Biblical teaching without variance. This is the choice I made, I cannot make it for anybody else.

I liked your answer but was asking Ghunter the question. I'm sorry for the confusion. Now I do have a question for you: I was partially asking from a medical/ science point of view, but my main point was this: just like people would see it a good thing for a child who is born without arms or legs to get transplants and be normal and enjoy life, would you considerer homosexuality the same way? In that I mean this: the person is born different and feels different and their sexual preference is different as others in their gender. I believe it to be biological and not a choice. So would you say that the person should be free to be with whomever they feel comfortable and happy with, or they should try to be someone they're not and live a life that doesn't suit them and therefore suffer-- just like the person who was born different without legs and have to live the rest of their lives in a wheelchair.

I am a Christian but not a Biblical scholar. But I tend to have a hard time believing that God would go against homosexuality. My reason: the person didn't choose to be born this way. For example, a gay man is a male individual but with feminine sexual needs and feelings. In my opinion I think it would be torture to force that person to have a sexual life that wasn't for him. That is why I have a hard time believing God is against homosexuality. Again, I am not a Bible scholar, that is just what my gut tells me, thinking with a clear mind.

I would love to hear your thoughts on this.

This has been debated thoroughly on other threads. The discussions have faceted into all the various debates of being "born homosexual" versus it's a "deliberate choice" of the individual. I do not believe homosexuals are "born" that way. To be homosexual, is to choose the lifestyle. So you think if individuals are born with homosexuality, then it's to be equal with a disability? Being born with a disability is not a sin. It was not a choice. As we grow from a baby to adulthood, we make life choices along the way that form who we are today. We were not born a lier, but chose later in life to lie, not born a thief, but chose to steal, not born a murderer, but chose to murder, not born a child molester, but chose to be. You see where I'm going with this?

To be a Christian (Christ like) is also a choice, and know God's Word/teachings. That's what a Christian lives their life by. It doesn't take a "Scholar" to understand that God hates the sin of homosexuality. It's in black and white. It all comes down to "choice". As far as your "gut" feeling? Our own heart (seat of our emotions). can deceive us (Jeremiah 17:9-10). That's why it's so important to know what the the Bible teaches, and live it.

I pray for your continued effort to strive for more Truth, and your endeavors to know Christ in all fullness. It doesn't really matter what I believe. You need to read and study it out for yourself. Everybody is going to have an opinion, but to a Christian, God's opinion is all that matters. Otherwise, why would anybody call themselves a Christian? Who are we following?

It really doesn't bother me. If you're attracted to the same sex, fine. If you're attracted to both, fine. If you're attracted to the opposite sex, fine. However, I don't like seeing same sex couples "going at it". Keep that to yourselves please. The same goes for heterosexual couples. And I don't really want to hear stories about it either. That part of your personal life should remain personal.
