My mother was an alcoholic, my grandfather has been one for the past 30 some years, so is my biological father, as was his father and mother. I'm 28 years old and have never had a problem with alcohol.
I believe two things that makes some one predisposed to certain addictions, generational sins, and the environment they've grown up in.
I didn't struggle with being an alcoholic, but there is another addiction that runs rampant in my family both on my fathers and mothers side, and both my parents were in bondage to this addiction as well. For some reason this particular addiction I didn't stand a chance against and struggled with it for more than 13 years.
I never saw my mom drunk, she would always dump me off with other people when she did that, however this other addiction I saw, it was the environment I grew up in, my mom even did it when she was pregnant with me.
So I was predisposed to this addiction even before being born
However I was not born that way, it wasn't in my genetic make up, my mom made poor choices and fell into sin, and I grew up seeing a particular thing.
People are not born thiefs alcoholics homosexuals sex addicts or murderers. I believe when we let sin in our lives we open ourselves up for Satan to get right in there and spread his poison.

You know it's very easy to say *THEY HAVE NO EXCUSE*..
the act of having sex outside of marriage is a sin
marriage is the union of one man and one woman and God
the act of having sex with another person of the same sex is not only un-natural, it is a sin
This is not me saying this, it comes from God's word, do you really read the address? or have you read them before also?
So we have but one choice ... abstain!!!

God gives us all our own crosses and our own battles to fight, many of which are written in our DNA and are genetic traits. This in no way lessens the fact that God gave us these crosses. He has known us forever and made us exactly who we are. So homosexuality might just be some peoples cross. I admit it seems a bit strange to me but who knows. And of course most gay people don't choose this and most would rather NOT be gay. Especially those who are Christian. So genetic or not, they need a lot of love and understand and help, not judging and condemnation.

While there may be physical and environmental factors that contribute to it, homosexuality still comes down to what the person wants right? We can control that. Wanting something can be controlled by our conscious mind, and despite popular belief, homosexuality can be unlearned. How do I know this? I have a Christian friend that was gay his whole life. Then he got saved at around 22 years old and about a year of counseling and working with God later, he very infrequently has trouble with it.
Are you kidding me?
The uprising of the gay pride movement is an agenda.
It is political control like the sexual liberation since the french revolution and further on.

I feel that it is entirely impossible for us to say that God is HOLY and RIGHTEOUS, know that homosexuality is an abomination to Him, and even let our minds CONSIDER that it is anything other than a sin of choice. Knowing what I know about God, He would not despise what is out of our ability to control in ourselves. I believe that a homosexuals mind is changed, however, due to suggestions, propositions, temptations, doubt/unbelief, choices..etc. the same as an adulterer. We are all exposed to the same things in this world. We know and understand that it is wrong. We choose.
Can things be passed through a family? Of course. There are familiar spirits...Sin passed from Adam and Eve, to Cain, etc., etc., etc. They are curses. They can be broken in the name of Jesus...by the blood of Jesus. Someone in the family has to draw the line. In my opinion, homosexuality is a form of sexual immorality. So is fornication, adultry, etc. So homosexuality can enter a family through it's root..sexual sin. Fornicators are committing sin as homosexuals are. We can say, 'but we were born with desires to reproduce.' True, we are. But God strictly forbids fornication and adultry and you don't consider those birth defects.
He said that no sexually immoral person will inherit the kingdom.
The Bible says that whatever YOU bind on earth, is bound in heaven. The choice is up to us.

I don't believe it is a choice anymore than you can choose the color of your skin. There have been studies but there is nothing conclusive. There is also no evidence against it being genetic. So this is really a matter of opinion. The bible says it is an abomination but it doesn't say it is a choice.
I think that it could possibly be both genetic and a choice. For instance, I asked a homosexual once about his thoughts on relationships and he told me that being with a man was just more fulfilling than being with a woman. I'm not sure what he means by that, but it does appear that homosexuality is a milder form of bisexuality. Why do I say this? Because I'm a heterosexual and I think being with a man would be utterly disgusting. So if the homosexuals can go either-or then doesn't that make them bisexual and not truly homosexual?
I guess that's a little beside the point, but anyway I found it interesting.
