Homosexuality is not a choice. One's sexual orientation is usually genetic and with the way the world is at present, exposed to all manner of hormone disrupting chemicals, its no wonder that people are hormonally confused.
LGBTQ lifestyles are not condoned in the Bible. You can be a practicing homosexual OR a Christian
Hope you are having a great day! @Deeje
Just wanted to ask...
Let's say someone is so exposed to environmental wrongs (estrogen in the water, etc), they couldn't possibly come back to a cis and/or straight way of living. What if they are miserable the way they are, and want to try an LGBTQ+ way of life?
As for my own stance on this topic, don't worry about it too much. I'm not going to go out of my way to display that I'm an LGBTQ+-supporting theist, just wanted to ask a question on LGBTQ+ through more of a religious, instead of a political, lens. Kind of a topic to allow the non-LGBTQ+ religious people to speak if they have something real to say, instead of them having to say it on the pro-LGBTQ+ support threads.
You may be right that I'm not fully Christian in that I consider Christianity one puzzle piece, and find the heart of the faith I've discovered, Baha'I, to be more about an approach of acceptance of all beliefs even through the ideas on afterlife. Note that I'm saying I find it more compatible, but not 100% compatible, with LGBTQ+. Some of the philosophies behind Baha'i faith itself.
Bonus question: How do we know what God wants?
