Interesting video on homosexuality

Ok... so here is a topic that I am passionate about.

Is homosexuality genetic, or is it something people choose? What if it's neither! Dr. Julie Harren, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in private practice in Palm Beach, Florida, discusses the meaning and causes of homosexuality. Dr. Harren is also an Assistant Professor of Psychology in the Graduate Counseling Psychology program at Palm Beach Atlantic University.

So.... she really doesn't conclude but I want to add my conclusion. That this (homosexuality) is something in lives that the devils gets ahold of to take us away from God. Just like alcohol, all other sexual sins, lust, anger, hatred, drugs, lying etc.

Remember God is bigger than all of this and there is freedom!! This reminds me of one of the first Bible verses that stuck out to me in my own personal quest for truth.

""Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And that is what some of you WERE. But you WERE washed, you WERE sanctified, you WERE justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.""1 Corinthians 6:9-11

Emphasis on "were" is my own. None of this is new... including homosexuality. They were dealing with it in Biblical times. But "what some of you were".... PAST TENSE--- Therefore we weren't born that way!!! The sometimes painful circumstances in our lives when we were growing up allowed the devil to find an opening and exploit it. But there is freedom in Jesus Christ!!!! I thank the Lord personally for that!!
