Is Homosexuality really a choice? How can a person who is Heterosexual ever decide one day just to be Gay?

Is being right handed vs left handed the same as being Heterosexual or Homosexual?

The whole debate as to whether homosexuality is a choice should be totally irrelevant to Christians...

Does that fact that we are all born with the curse of sin mean that sin,, since we are born with it,, is now justified and good?? Simply because we where born with sin tendencies???

Would pedophilia suddenly become acceptable because someone said they where born that way?

You name the sin and there are many.. Are any of them made ok because humans are born with the internal faultiness that leads them to commit them?

Don't let the debate about nature vs nurture derail you in standing up for what God reveals in His Word.. Being born with the fault tendency does in no way make that fault suddenly acceptable and good..

Let no one say when he is tempted, "I am being tempted by God," for God cannot be tempted with evil, and he himself tempts no one.
But each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire.
James 1:13-14 (ESV2011, MBM)

Then desire when it has conceived gives birth to sin, and sin when it is fully grown brings forth death.
Do not be deceived, my beloved brothers. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.
James 1:15-17 (ESV2011, MBM)

Same gender attraction is nothing more than a lust of the sins of perversion, and what god has deemed as sin is sin and shall remain sin till the end, no matter how much the world says sin is not sin: and as for us which believe in the Truth according to God, we will question nothing which God's Word tell us; such as do question God's Word are yet carnal minded, and not spiritual minded, and are still of the world, and not of Christ.

How would you describe Abraham's test to sacrifice his only son? I'm only asking for clarification purposes based on what you have written here.

Choosing to yield to the temptation of immoral lust is what it is. Here is what the Lord said about homosexuality:

You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination. Lev 18:22 RSV
