This report of a variation of homosexuality, known as gender confusion, brings out the falsity of the term "gender" which in contemporary usage among a minority implies that a human can switch from one status to another, from man to woman and vice versa.

The term "gender" traditionally has referred to one's biological makeup as male or female. It has meant one or the other, not a social construct that allowed the homosexual to present a matter of choice between two genders. In fact, one's gender, as male or female, begins at conception. So, the homosexual cannot later choose a sex (AKA gender) different from the natural given one.

The homosexuals, however, now try to co-opt the term "gender" to mean the sex that one prefers. This move signals a desperate longing of the individual afflicted with homosexuality to fit himself or herself to a place in normative society. By definition, though, the condition of homosexuality encompasses a small fraction of society, and thus cannot become a part of normative society.

This onlooker suggests that homosexuals undergo treatment to come to terms with their affliction.

As for society, it should recognize and tolerate homosexuals as another aspect of the human condition.

Militant-authoritarian? Your label indicates that you have no concept of what true Christianity is about. Maybe perverted versions of it, but not the real thing.

You do have choice. The choice is to follow the Wisdom of God or the wisdom of the world. Each one will take you along different paths. I place my faith in the Wisdom of God. Follow the other and it's like the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics. Over time, everything falls apart.

Yes militant-authoritarians ... ever read the OT? Or accounts of the church running amok in the new worlds? Shameful 'men of God', shock troops for the kings and queens of yore. No thanks.

The Old Testament does record God's judgment on iniquity and the worship of false gods. That judgment has been forestalled during the Age of Grace, but there is a period of time when it will be poured out once again, during the Tribulation before the Second Coming of Christ. If you read ALL of the Old Testament, however, you will also see God desiring a Holy people. You would read about Holy men and women and read various guides to a good a Holy life.

Yes, alignments of various churches with states, esp. the RCC, was a cause of great ungodliness within the churches themselves. Ungodly and greedy men ruled those churches. That is the reason we have separation of church and state in our Constitution. That does not diminish the Truth of God or the Truth of the Word of God when rightly read and lived.
