Sexuality 'hard-wired' before birth?

Oct. 21, 2003 -UCLA scientists have supposedly found 54 genes in mice they say indicate sexual identity is hard-wired into the brain before birth and the development of the sex organs. Eric Vilain, a professor of human genetics was a spokesman for the finding.

While stressing the study was "not about finding the gay gene," Vilain said some of the 54 genes might explain homosexual behavior.

However, WorldNetDaily columnist Judith Reisman, president of the Institute for Media Education and author of "Kinsey, Crimes & Consequences," expects these studies will be repudiated like three earlier ones that claimed homosexuals are born, not made. Reisman says that homosexuality is a choice. The factors that influence this choice are found in the person's environment – particularly the "gay" rights lobby and child abuse.

Source:WorldNetDaily

Note: Even if it could ever be shown that there is a weakness toward this particular sin (like the genetic weakness known to exist for alcoholism), it would not excuse the behavior, because we are all sinners, and God has provided deliverance from sin through faith in Jesus Christ, and victory over our weaknesses through confession and filling with the Holy Spirit.

It's Later Than You Think...

How Much Longer Will You Have The Right To Tell The Truth About Homosexuality?

I received an Email message from a Christian in Canada this week, saying that he is opposed to homosexuality on Biblical grounds, but that he is afraid to speak out against it now that Canada has adopted special protections for homosexuality. The following summaries of articles, all from current news, illustrates how serious this problem is, not only for Canadians, but also for us in the United States. We have stood by and watched the advance of the homosexual agenda without adequately protesting the errosion of Biblical principles. All the talk about hate crimes is very intimidating to Christians because we believe in love above all else. God Himself is love, and we are commanded to love others as He loves. However, God has spoken with crystal clarity about the sinfulness of homosexual behavior. As every good parent knows, real love requires taking a stand against what is wrong.

5 And you have forgotten that word of encouragement that addresses you as sons: "My son, do not make light of the Lord's discipline, and do not lose heart when he rebukes you,

6 because the Lord disciplines those he loves, and he punishes everyone he accepts as a son."

7 Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as sons. For what son is not disciplined by his father?

8 If you are not disciplined (and everyone undergoes discipline), then you are illegitimate children and not true sons.

9 Moreover, we have all had human fathers who disciplined us and we respected them for it. How much more should we submit to the Father of our spirits and live!

10 Our fathers disciplined us for a little while as they thought best; but God disciplines us for our good, that we may share in his holiness.

11 No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.

Hebrews 12:5-11 (NIV)

Action: Pray for wisdom, love and courage. Maybe you have been placed where you are "for such a time as this." Esther 4:14.

Action: Take the time to read the next few summaries and get involved by picking at least one action item. If you won't, who will? Once it is illegal to express your beliefs, you will wish you had summoned the courage to do something while there was still time.

Action: Ask your pastor and other church leaders to stand for the truth. Too many have chosen not to get involved in controversial issues such as abortion and homosexuality. This is exactly what the church did in Germany during Hitler's rise. The only Christian heros of that era were the rare Christians and pastors who did something about the evils of their day. Don't support a church that is ashamed of God's own views. Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter. - Isaiah 5:20
