When I used to hear this question I would be one of the first to say “of course not! Homosexuals choose that lifestyle”. This may surprise many of you but I no longer believe that. Homosexuals are born gay and I can back that statement up by scripture.

Now, before you go crazy and say “I’m never going to ChristChat again. What kind of Christian site can say homosexuals are born gay?!”, let me explain my position.

I still believe, just as strongly as ever, that homosexuality is a sin and an abomination to God. But, I think we, as Christians, are being intellectually dishonest not to admit that homosexuals are born with those tendencies in most cases. Homosexuality is a sin. We are born into sin. How can we consistently say that people are born sinners, but that doesn’t include the sin of homosexuality?

Consider this passage from Psalm 51:5 - “Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.”

Also, Psalm 58:3 - “The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies.

So what’s the point of having a ChristChat blog? Afterall, I could post the same information in the forum. The blog will allow myself and the other moderators to post news, announcements and opinions in a way that will be easier to read and easier to find. The blog will be the quickest way to find out what’s new at ChristChat.

The blog will also be used as a way to generate discussion on a wide variety of topics. Each week we will have a new poll (look in the right hand column) and I, and hopefully other moderators, will offer our opinions on the subject.

So, check in often and see what’s going on. The blog will be updated regularly.

God Bless!
