Homosexuality....

AS there is a reason for everything, I want to follow in Bruxy's footsteps and write an exposition on homosexuality, similar in style to his article on divorce....

Similar to when people ask us, why does suffering exist even though we have a God, I will address homosexuality under this microscope with as much sensitivity as possible because while it is true that Homosexuality IS un-biblical, it is not necessary a corollary to conclude that allusive to suffering, that homosexuality is always negative.  In fact some people argue that it is difficult to see God without suffering, perhaps the same can apply to something like Homosexuality as well.  After all, if there were no God, exactly why are we designed and generally attracted to the opposite gender in a sexual way in the first place, why didn't we simply choose what we want to mate with for ourselves, why should gender have even been a consideration 'in the first place'?    

Inferences from this post should not conclude that I support or condone homosexuality either, after reading this article, you will see why I conclude that homosexuality is a by-product of our society, similar to violence and you simply cannot assert the comprehensive responsibility of a course of action to any specific individual. i.e. would you blame Winston Churchill for all the Germany causalities of World War II? 

Sexuality, like many other things in this world have indeed become corrupted. The bible argues or as often interpreted that the entire world has also become corrupted.  It is also a premise of mine that this is a by-product of the anarchy of our creator that often happens in society.  God created the world, but sometimes as humans we often like to think otherwise and our behavior often changes accordingly.  For example, there are people who believe that abortion is acceptable because 'it is my body and I can do what I want with it', a similar argument can be made for binge eating and doing drugs.  I believe that the very same attitude is at the heart of those who choose the option of practicing Homosexuality. 

On the flip side, many of you might ask if whether there is indeed a 'Christian' or 'Biblical' way of practicing homosexuality and it is my personal conclusion that the bible does not make allowance for condoning homosexuality regardless of the new found freedom from the law often referenced in the New Testament.  It is also my opinion that to argue that homosexuality is supported by God is not to different to suggest that adultery is also supported by God.  There has also been an argument made that perhaps homosexuality is also a natural process and sadly due to the amount of damage to our planet, I would not be too surprised if there is some truth behind this argument.  Nevertheless though, we cannot rule out the fact that society probably has some influence on why we have homosexuality in the first place too, as some of you might consider the example about how in the media, a lesbian relationship is seen to be 'sexually appealing' even to the opposite gender.  I would also like to conclude that whether homosexuality is natural or not is essentially not the 'real issue' as it is not my conclusion that God created homosexuality even though God created the world.  Similar to the fact that you too were created, but the decision surrounding your creation was just as much made by your parents as it was made by God and in my eyes, it is the same with homosexuality. 

I realize this entry is getting long and significantly longer than other posts so I will attempt to wrap up with specifying that homosexuality, giving consideration to the fact it may very well indeed be natural, is not evil in of itself, but just like other things in life, technology, medicine, science, etc, what makes something good or bad is 'how we use it'.  So in essence, homosexuals are not created any more 'evil' than the rest of us, but it is simply how they choose to use their bodies that is brought into question...I leave you with this question as well to conclude the post...
