Break it Down.

It's high time to tackle some important topics.
The first being sexual orientation, as a lack of knowledge and shoddy research has caused a lot of pain, strife, and misunderstanding.

Most research and scientific evidence points to the simple fact that sexual orientation is innate and inborn. Genetics may play a role (although there is no singular "gay gene"), but the most important factor seems to be prenatal hormones, and the effect they have on brain formation in the womb.

Unfortunately, some people have used scripture to wrongly promote the idea that your sexual orientation is something that can be changed; that it is a "choice." They've promoted the notion that it is unlike the color of your eyes, your height, or your skin color.

One passage commonly used to support that supposition would be Romans 12:2.
It reads, "And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God."

We must go line by line.
Precept by precept.

I always keep my "Strong's Exhaustive Concordance" (2010 edition) close by.
The definition of "is" is not even taken at face value, as you may gloss over something extremely noteworthy and edifying.
 
The word "anakainosis" in Greek is synonymous with "a renewal," and it means "the adjustment of the moral and spiritual vision and thinking to the mind of God, which is designed to have a transforming effect upon the life."

It has nothing to do with your being, but your thinking.
It doesn't mean that you are not a "real" Christian or that you have not been praying hard enough if your sexual orientation happens to be anything but heterosexual.

In other words, when you are born again, you gain a new perspective, and see things through the proper spiritual lens. As God wants you to see it.

Another commonly cited scripture would be 1 Corinthians 6:9-11.
It reads, "Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God." Some have used this phrase to claim that these people who "have not prayed hard enough" will not ever receive salvation, and are doomed to an afterlife separated from the presence of God."Effeminate" here is representative of the Greek word "malakos."
In this instance, it conveys the message signifying "not simply of a male who practices forms of lewdness, but persons in general, who are guilty of addiction to sins of the flesh."

It is referring to the actions that one chooses to partake in, and nothing to do with ones masculinity or femininity. The passage has been mangled and misused to bash people, which is unfortunate. Only with the assistance of the Holy Spirit can one withstand temptation, and live a life that is pleasing to God. This is not to imply that you will never "mess up," or be perfect (I am certainly not implying that). But I am driving the point home that God loves us all, and to make people feel any worse off or "less than" compared to you and the things that you struggle with is not of God, and it is not Christlike. To single people out and have people jumping off of bridges because of your bigotry is unacceptable.

In reference to Romans 1:25-27, the word "change" in verse 26 is properly and more fully translated into Greek as "metallasso" It continues in the concordance, "This word means totally to surrender one thing for another, and exchange meaning a supposedly equivalent swap."

What does this definition outline?
The concept of Bisexuality.
It's not a new concept.

Furthermore,be encouraged with Romans 8:1, which reads, "There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit."

Speaking of the Holy Spirit, I must make an important note that many people don't seem to be aware of.
That note would be the fact that the Holy Spirit is of the feminine gender.

Surprised?
What happened?

Research seems to point to the notion that it was the Greek Orthodox church that was responsible for obfuscating this fact in translation. The reason seems to be the fact that Gnostics of that time period were known to have large numbers of women in the ministry, which the Orthodox church did not approve of. Studying old manuscripts, it becomes obvious that Christ himself referred to the Holy Spirit as a "she," of feminine gender.

This makes sense, as creativity is considered a feminine trait, and the Spirit was directly involved in the creation of all that we see and know.

In the book of Genesis, it is conveyed that "the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters." Genesis 1:26-27 reads, " And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them."

God created man in the "image," or likeness, of God.
In other words, having both masculine and feminine traits.
This is clear and obvious even when we look at ourselves from a biochemical standpoint.
A man's hormonal makeup is not just comprised of testosterone, but also estrogen.
A woman's biological makeup consists of not only feminine hormones, but also male hormones.

Why is this?
Imagine trying to function with only the qualities of one gender.

If all I could do is grunt and smash rocks, I could never be self-sufficient for any period of time.I simply couldn't last.
 
The feminine gender of the Holy Spirit brings together the complete picture of a family.

Father, Son, and Mother.
It just makes sense.
