Is Homosexuality demon possesion or learned behavi

[live4him]

homosexuality is running out of control in our country, why is it, whats happening to out country. i know we are living in the end times, but everywhere ya go you will see these people around, you do not have to be rude to them as christians but we do not have to accept their sin either, it has even crept in our churches, and it is not even preached about anymore, what are we scared to preach the truth or is it gay bashing,

I don't have an answer to this. Experts (both looking at it from a human standpoint and from a spiritual standpoint) can't agree among themselves.

In my opinion, homosexuality can be any or several of the following:
--part of our human/sinful nature from birth (not all are affected nor respond the same way)
--demonically inspired
--psychologically induced
--strongly promoted by the media and the secular educational system
--a learned behavior

Also, in my opinion, there is a difference between a person who is a homosexual and a person who is living the homosexual lifestyle.

I would probably strongly disagree with that premise without further clarification. At face value you seem to be saying "some are born that way."

I don't doubt for a minute that some homosexuals are born that way.

Then you must also believe some are born to be adulterers, child molesters and other types of perverts, correct?

I don't know about adulterers as a whole, but I have known some men who simply could not be faithful no matter how hard they try. I've heard that scientists have found a difference in the brain of homosexuals and those of heterosexuals. I think eventually they will find whatever it is that causes homosexuality. There may be a difference in the brains of people engaged in other types of deviant sexual behaviour.

I did see a good study that showed a tendency, not a set issue, but that some males have a tendency to be more effimenate or lean towards girlie behavior based on estrogen exposure in the womb.

The case example that I saw took two twins, under the age 10, genetics they are the same, same environment etc. One acted like a typical 10 year old male, the other very girly, effeminate, the only thing that they could tell you that seemed to be the difference was the hypothesis that the other boy had higher exposure to estrogen while his brother didn't.

With that in mind I still think behavior is paramount and feelings, tendencies don't make the man.
