Can a Person Be Born Gay according to the Bible?

What does the Bible Say about the claim of born gay?

The issue of LGBTQ+ has become thorny in the church. The Christian faith is divided on how to deal with gender identity issues. Some churches have taken a very extreme position while others have embraced a more liberal approach in dealing with homosexuality.

There is no faith that can withstand scrutiny if there is no united front on issues that affect man. The issue of morality is center stage in any faith, right and wrong is how faith keeps its essence. Therefore, without a clear direction in the Christian faith, it will be hard to harmonize the mind of God concerning some of the social issues we are battling.

So, Can a person be born Gay?

The answer is yes! Give me a chance to explain from the scriptures.

A person can be born gay but no one is created Gay.

It is evident from creation that God designed two distinct genders: male and female. The naming of these genders specifically refers to their reproductive organs.

So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. Genesis 1:27

The identification and naming of genders by God is based on their reproductive organs. Consequently, God did not create a transgender or gender-fluid identity; such identities are a product of human creation.

The Hebrew word for Male is Zakar, Its root origin seems to lie in the idea of pricking, and piercing. The more general application for the Hebrew word Zakar is memory or remembrance this is definitely a derivative of the root idea of piercing ie the memory comes from the piercing. It follows without being too graphical that a male was named based on his private part.

The Hebrew word for Female is Neqeva. the root word Naqab has the idea of to pierce, perforate, or bore. Again it goes without saying that female was named fathers their private part.

The aforementioned passage from Genesis 1:27 unequivocally conveys that God created two distinct genders: male and female. What is truly captivating is the remarkable complementarity of these genders, particularly in the realm of reproduction. This holds great significance, as any humanly devised system would lack a natural working protocol, necessitating constant adjustments and modifications to ensure functionality.

For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. ²⁷ Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due. Romans 1:26-27

As a student of the Bible, you will come to understand that many of God's creation have been distorted by the devil. One notable instance can be found in Genesis 6, where angels engaged in relations with human women, resulting in the birth of extraordinary beings known as Nephilim. These Nephilim were a unique species, not originally created by God, but rather a product of Satan's manipulation and corruption of God's creation.

If a Nephilim asserts that they were born as a Nephilim, there is no way to refute their claim as it is indeed true.

The same argument can be extended to people who claim they were born gay. Satan has the ability to mutilate what God had intended for good and course it to be change in expression. The law was good but Satan used it to bind the children of Israel.

And the commandment, which was to bring life, I found to bring death. ¹¹ For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it killed me. ¹² Therefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy and just and good. Romans 7:10-12

In fact, in Matthew 19, Jesus discussed the topic of marriage and mentioned three distinct categories of eunuchs. One of these categories includes individuals who were born as eunuchs, meaning they lacked the reproductive organs typically associated with men. A eunuch is someone who has undergone castration, resulting in the removal of their manhood.

Jesus's statement is quite remarkable as he acknowledges that some individuals can be born without certain organs or with organs that do not function properly. This scripture serves as a clear indication that people can be born with physical defects. However, it is important to note that God did not intentionally create mankind with these defects.

How does this happen?

The psalmist clearly declares that he was conceived in iniquity.

Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, And in sin my mother conceived me. Psalm 51:5

This scripture explores a significant revelation about the environment in which conception takes place. It acknowledges that we reside in a fallen world, where Satan continues to find ways to corrupt God's creation. Consequently, Satan can influence a child's soul or even manifest physical conditions like hermaphroditism, leading to a distorted gender identity. Understanding this possibility, it becomes crucial for us to exercise patience and empathy towards individuals grappling with their gender identity. Our goal should not be to agree with the lie of the devil, but rather to collaborate with them in reintroducing God into their lives, countering the devil's intrusion and restoring God's intended purpose.

Good News

"If you claim that you were born gay, there is good news for you: you can experience a rebirth. What may have been distorted at conception or birth can be restored through the power of God, made possible by the finished work of Christ.

Nicodemus, upon hearing this proposition, was understandably perplexed. He questioned whether a grown man could possibly return to his mother's womb and be born again. Of course, the answer is no.

To be born again signifies a restoration to the original design set forth by God. Therefore, if you identify as gay, salvation can mend any damage through the Spirit of God, eliminating any interference from the depths of Hell”

There is Hope in Salvation! You may have been born Gay but you were never created Gay.
