Is being a homosexual a choice? I don’t think it’s about choice and I don’t think it’s about being born this way either. It’s more complex than that. There are multiple influences in one’s life that contribute to it. For instance, when one is exposed to sexuality at a young age. I don’t want to use this term, as it’s over used in society today, but I will have to say that I fell victim to pornography as a teen and was therefore exposed to something that shaped my understanding of sex. In other words, I was programming my mind with my first experience of sexual behaviour I had learned from pornography.
It’s true. There is more than just our gender. We are more than just men and women. We are our souls. Part of it is “I am a man”. I’m made in God’s image. God has given me personhood and identity. We believe not only that it’s intrinsic and deep down inside of ourselves but it’s extrinsic. To identify myself by my sexuality is reduction of my humanity. God is the one who gave us our identity and purpose.
When we look at ourselves in the mirror and despise what we see we really reject ourselves and God’s design and purpose. I want to be careful with the word purpose. I don’t mean the purpose of your life but the purpose of your body.
The question of choice is do we concentrate our bodies to God? Do we give our purpose to the one who knows us? He not only made us but knows our purpose. It’s not about us. It’s about Him. Our bodies were made in His image and to reflect His glory.
