This is very sad because that also would not permit God to have an opportunity to deal with it nor to let that unborn person have a life full of all kinds of joys and sorrows and experiences and choices; not to trust and let things “run their course”, whatever that future might be. Reminds me of the old saying “Be careful what you ask for”. So I am asking God that the knowledge remains hidden with God.

Identifying causes would lead some to rejoice, others to grieve, others to say it’s a fallen world and we deal with it, etc. I think the greatest evil that might come of the knowledge would be parents deciding to kill their unborn child out of either fear of the future or a desire to avoid having to deal with it, feeling that they know in advance that what’s best for the unborn is no chance at life. This is very sad because that also would not permit God to have an opportunity to deal with it nor to let that unborn person have a life full of all kinds of joys and sorrows and experiences and choices; not to trust and let things “run their course”, whatever that future might be.

Hi Warren n co.
Have a question to put to ye all, mostly warren but i have a feeling the rest might want to reply as well 🙂 This is more of a whim than anything but i would be deeply interested in the replies. Its a what if scenario question.
What if they do produce science that is both reproducible and explains and predicts homosexuality. An unlikely event in my opinion but what if did happen?
If you take the time to answer i would like you to frame the answer in the following way
If they proved that it was multi-pathed i.e. pre-natal with events after birth either triggering it or whatever
If they proved it was somehow pre-natal be that genetic, hormonal etc
If they proved it was envoiromental i.e. parent issues, abuse.
And also in your answers how would you expect the general world to act, exodus et al to act and Gay people to act.
Enjoy!

A great deal of that sounds like something I’ve always believed – which is that, as you said Warren, the negative reaction of SOME parents to gay children did not cause them to be gay – rather it was a reaction to the reality of their orientation.

I’m thinking part of the definition of “healing” is removing the old child tapes from the replay mind machine and instead replacing them with new tapes made by the adult me. Like living in the present “now” instead of in the past “then”.

Or being “transformed by the renewing of your mind” so that you can “put away childish things,” to put it biblically.
