    Just to be clear, I have nothing but sympathy for those who are victims of unnatural sexual desires or gender confusion. I have no interest in judging or condemning them. However, nor do I have an interest in getting them to believe that the Bible approves of their lifestyles or problems when it plainly does not. There are many sexual urges out there that are urgent and seem natural to those who carry them out, but that is not the determining factor. Does God approve? That is the primary question. The life-changing power of Jesus to bring healing, joy, peace and happiness is the real answer.

    Now tell Mother Nature that. Be sure to give her a good scolding on top of it! And throw in that I'm not real happy that she took my younger son away three years ago and blessed my older son with autism.

    Very sorry for the loss of your son. Lost a beloved nephew a year ago. I preached his funeral. Felt kind of bad about that as I started crying probably half a dozen times. Those things are painful.

    We groan under the weight of these injuries and losses simply because Adam and Eve wanted to be like God and thus they sampled the forbidden fruit. You're very young. Someday you will understand.

    It certainly allowed sin and wickedness to enter in and spread wildly. Did it make those things acceptable? Not at all.
