Gene
/dʒiːn/
noun
Biology
plural noun: genes
1.(in informal use) a unit of heredity which is transferred from a parent to offspring and is held to determine some characteristic of the offspring.
2.a part of a cell that controls or influences the appearance, growth, etc., of a living thing.
Different genes are found in human beings, these genes determine if we get our mother's eye colour, or maybe our fathers hair type, or our skin tone, our nose size, etcetera etcetera etcetera.
Who created genes? Being that genes are a part of our dna and cell structure, which are found in us from birth, and being that God created man, not some intergelactic burst in the atmosphere, it's safe to say that the genes which are found in us are a result of God's handiwork, as is the rest of the human body. With that being said, if someone says that there is a "gay gene" they are directly saying that God went ahead and placed in many of His creations a gene that would cause a person to participate in what is Biblically described in the book of Leviticus 18:22-30, Romans 1:26-32, as shameful, unnatural, abominations and perversions. And participating in such acts would make a person ineligble to enter the Kingdom of Heaven as mentioned in 1 Corinthians 6:9-10. All of that would be saying that God went ahead and placed something in humans that would make them do exactly what He commanded us not to do. Also, that would be saying there is unrighteousness or wickedness with God, but there is no unrighteousness with God as explained in Romans 9:14 and Job 34:10-13.
If someone was to relentlessly purport this thing about a "gay gene" existing and being the cause for gay people being gay, how much differnt would that be from saying there is an adultery gene, a fornication gene, a sodomy gene, a gene that causes one to masturbate, a gene that causes one to lust? I doubt many people would take, "it's my adulterous lust gene that made me cheat on you" as an excuse from a spouse. So, why would anyone truly go around affirming or even suggesting it may be possible for there to be a "gay gene"?
All of that would be ridiculous, all of those lies simply are there to take direct attention from what it is that truly causes (all) of those acts, and that is sin.
We must be very careful with the things we go around saying, specifically those who are calling themselves Christians. These damnable heresies are taking many persons captive, who are determined to exhange the truth of God for the lie as mentioned in Romans 1:24-25.

well said! Thank you for your bold stand! I know it is backed by God's love in you and your true desire to see people walk free...I'd like your ending comment...'These damnable heresies are taking many persons captive, who are determined to exchange the truth of God for the lie as mentioned in Romans 1:24-25.'
Taking many captive indeed! Jesus came in our sin...to set us free from sin. And just as Christ came to us in our sin...because He loves us...we too speak out the truth in love...but hate the sin ...and long to see people set free.

Thank you for dropping by Patrina
Thank God that who the Son sets free, is truly free indeed. To God be the Glory. :-)
We are truly living in a strange time in history...and the Lord only knows how much longer He will allow this all to continue. I believe that the restrainer is being removed, and that people are becoming bolder in their sin is a judgment against the sin in itself, it is a hardening that God causes in people who deliberately sin in a hateful to God manner that flies directly in the face of truth (Romans ch 1).
I recently listened to a very good sermon by Phil Johnson about blaspheming the Holy Spirit. He talks about what Jesus was saying to the Pharisees when He brings up blasphemy against the HS, and says that Jesus knew (being able to see their hearts) that they KNEW who Jesus was/is, that He is the Messiah, and they knew it but outright rejected it because it would mean they would have to give up their own religious status, admit they were wrong, etc, and they didn't want to sacrifice what they have now, to receive what Jesus was offering to them. They KNEW they were rejecting the truth, and they were telling other people to follow their own terrible and hateful to God example. They were very bold (as many of these militant homosexuals are) of their antagonism to God and the truth. I find that frightful.
Again Susan you have presented some excellent points and I fully agree with them all, especially with what you said in your second paragraph. I see a similarity between the behavior of the Pharisees and many church pastors today more and more. Many of them know the truth yet pervert it by teaching heresies in the place of the truth because of fear of losing their status, their huge number of members and so on. Whenever somebody calls them out on the lies they have been propagating, they would accuse that person of lying and vilify the person who's speaking the truth, and that is truly sad, but just like you said, " people are becoming bolder in their sin is a judgement against the sin in itself" this definitely goes for militant gays and those who are spreading lies and presenting it as though it is the Gospel truth when in fact it is another Gospel.
Thanks for sharing Susan I really appreciate it.
