Never heard that about Paul's thorn. Fascinating.

I don't know on your last question. Since humans embody both emotions and reason - and either of them can become unbalanced in terms of which we express most, I'm not sure it's a matter of that. I suspect personal sexuality is more primal and fundamental. I feel for homosexuals who feel that cannot express themselves naturally and try to think themselves into being straight. As if how they feel is somehow unnatural even though it's natural to them. Add to that what feels natural to anyone is happening in a larger cultural context which may or may not include religion, unique social taboos or even outright manipulation. Look at what's happening in schools with the transgender agenda.

Will these kids think it's natural to want to change gender because of the influence? Likely. Oh, my.

Thank you - very interesting post, yet again!

i don't know either as to my last question. Just a hypothesis, something to think about. I have had several homosexual friends, some were very good people, dedicated to serving others before their self. A few others were narcissistic, just like in the general population, no difference.

"t raised the question of those that desire the same sex, did they get struck with an emotion that seemed real and then entertain it?"

There is likely much truth to this. This, grooming. Why wait for children to become curious when you can plant ideas in their fertile minds and encourage them to entertain them? All to destroy to confuse the child and destroy the family unit.

when I was young, like high school, I had several friends that were homosexual. Talked to them about it and every one of them told me that they had been molested by a male years earlier. Made me wonder. Did it cause confusion in their mind? Doubt that this is the case with all, but it may be with many. Also many might not remember, trauma sometimes gets blocked out.

David, as always I enjoyed and learned from your post. Thank you.

About 25 years ago the mother of my granddaughter came out as a lesbian. The realization that came to me was that she was listening to her soul. I believe souls attract other souls.
