Moves and counter moves for what may be referred to as ‘global legalization of gay marriage’ are no longer big news. Regardless of all the seemingly endless legal debates and propagandas that are already getting too familiar, what many young Christians are really desperate to know is the reason why a seemingly healthy man would be itching to be the husband of another man; while an equally healthy and attractive woman lusts after another woman.
For decades now all manner of gimmicks have been employed to make us swallow the notion that gays and lesbians are born. But, is it really so?
Well, individual opinion may not count much on this matter. Nevertheless, I am glad because the Bible is not silent. Below are the three-fold mind process that leads to the development of homosexual behaviors (and consequently gay pride, culture and community) according to the Bible in the book of Romans 1:18-32.
Apostasy
The reality is that no one is truly honest when he tries to deny the existence of God. The reason being that the ultimate purpose of nature (life, sun, moon, air, water etc) is to constantly remind us about the existence of its Creator (verses 19 and 20). Moreover, nature communicates this message so effectively that every normal person understands exactly what is being said without doubt.
Nevertheless, despite nature’s clear revelation of the Supreme Being, most of us had (and many still have) the audacity to snub the Creator, an attitude that leads to the second stage of the process.
Irreverent
In their arrogance they refuse to neither recognize the Creator nor show Him gratitude for their lives and all the other things He had created. Moreover, in sheer rebellion, instead of seeking to know Him intimately they discarded the little knowledge they had of Him, and turned their hearts over to lying and seducing spirits, which ultimately push them into the third stage of the process.
Idolatry
Now, not knowing that they are being manipulated by demonic influences, they become insensible while all the time thinking that they are wise. They despise God, listen to demons, and celebrate humanistic ideas more than the Supreme Being.
The Consequences
At the third stage of the process the universal grace for divine sensitivity and self-preservation bestowed on everyone is completely withdrawn from them, then their entire system is subtly reprogrammed by demonic forces to crave and enjoy many feelings and acts that are not consistent with the human nature one of which is gayness (verses 26-32).
So, as you can see from the bible, the real reason behind the desire for legalization of gay marriage and other homosexual relationships for that matter is far more complicated than many people could ever imagine.
