I think your mistake Wile is to assume that sexual orientation must be an absolute, clearly one thing or the other, I've never said that. Obviously some people are bisexual or just somewhere in between. Cynthia Nixon as reported in the Daily Mail I notice, not exactly the most reliable of papers imo, claims it was a choice to be gay, really? I don't know what the actual truth is, only she knows that. But for me she must have discovered her own bisexuality later in life with her new partner, which didn't seem to involve being molested by a gay as aCW will no doubt claim.
First, other sources have quoted Cynthia Nixon too. Second, Homosexuality is clearly a deviation from the revealed will of God. People do NOT have to be homosexuals any more than they have to be adulterers.
Paul said that it is
spiritual blindnesss that causes people to "give themselves over" to deviant desires. They deceive themselves into believing "I'm born this way." You know nothing about spiritual blindness. Many former homosexuals have testified that they had foolishly believed your fatalistic view. That's exactly what your view is. It is fatalism.
That said, you know that I do not share aCW's bigoted and hateful methods. aCW is also spiritually blind. Nowhere in the new testament are Christians called to rule sinners by force. He said, "What have I to do with those outside?" We are called to
evangelize them. Paul focused solely on the ministry of reconciliation. We know that aCW is NOT about reconcling sinners to God. He is all about ruling them and punishing them and putting them to death. He does not even allow for a sinner to enter a church door:
On a personal note: I assume that you were married in a House of God? If so, HOW DARE YOU TAKE A OPENLY HOMOSEXUAL MAN INTO GOD'S HOUSE AND MOCK HIM BY USING AN UNREPENTANT SINNER AS YOUR BEST MAN!

How shameful! aCW is NOT a friend of Christ. Christ said that God's house was to be a "house of prayer for many nations" (pagans). Note how aCW is like Fred Phelps of Woodboro Baptist Church:
"You telling these miserable, Hell-bound, bath house-wallowing, anal-copulating fags that God loves them!? You have bats in the belfry!"
Phelps said that God doesn not love them. Cultic!!
The thing that gets me is that the Christian Right cannot see that this hate-mongering only advances the gay cause. I think a lot about this and wonder if the gay agenda would have all the steam it has if Christians had stuck to God's method. Jesus NEVER denounced "fags." They were all around Him. Jesus denounced
only the self righteous. Paul too never condemned homosexuals. Paul informed us that they are under God's condemnation, but he tried to
rescue them.
Paul said, "judgment
begins with the house of God." But the "Christian" Right is so busy with the sin of non-christians they are ignoring their own sin. The world has noted their hypocrisy.
