Why do those who believe that "one is born gay", and "once gay always gay", do so?
It appears to me that scientific research indicates otherwise.

It appears to me that scientific research and the Bible indicate otherwise.
25 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoWhy do those who believe the Bible supports the eschatological teaching in a paradise on this earth do so?
Doesn't 2 Peter 3:7-13 and Revelation 21:1 make it quite clear otherwise? It says in 2 Peter 3:10 "...that the heavens will disappear with a roar." And, didn't God in Christ make all that is visible according to John 1:1-3, no matter whether one believes Him to be divine or not? So, why on earth (pardon the pun) can't He also destroy in totality what He has made? Our God is a consuming fire (Hebrews 12:29!) Fire from earth won't get the job done! "Elements" in 2 Peter 3:12 in the Koine Greek makes it very clear that this involves ALL the "stuff" that makes up what is visible. Does not this include all the universe? You bet. And, the words "first earth and first heavens passing away" in the koine Greek means just that in Rev. 21:1. It means that EVERYTHING, (all in the first "order", the universe and the earth), will cease to exist any longer! So how can one possibly do interpretation jockeying around this with a clear conscience, using Bible verses that are not as clear cut as this?

37 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoAnyone like to comment on the recently released study about changing orientation from gay to straight?
It's a longitudinal study over 15 years, by Jones and Yarhouse, that studied the successful change of the sexual orientation of some from gay to stright. It was released yesterday, and is in book form called "Ex-gay". I'd prefer those who've either read it, or got at least some review about it, but it's OK if you didn't, since it so new. But, please be considerate to others of a different view. Thank you!
