Re: Homosexuality Research Article

I just found an Albert Mohler article that snagged my attention for a bit. It's actually an interesting article, and I'd say pretty valuable to read.

But, one of his conclusions irritated me as inconsistent. he said the following:
"8. If a biological basis is found, and if a prenatal test is then developed, and if a successful treatment to reverse the sexual orientation to heterosexual is ever developed, we would support its use as we should unapologetically support the use of any appropriate means to avoid sexual temptation and the inevitable effects of sin."

I say irritated because isn't this trumping God? Is He still good if he allows a baby to be born with a homosexual predisposition or whatever? What about the mothers who will not be able to afford such a patch, if one is ever developed? Will the church shun and point fingers at her baby while flaunting the pure and the fixed in the churches who were wealthy enough? That conclusion seems really out of place for such a good article. How would this statement make a homosexual feel who currently struggles with accepting himself because of his struggles? It blatantly says to me, "oh, if their's a patch or medicine to fix the gays, Christians will be the first in line!"

An appropriate means to avoid sexual temptation. I think of a few medical procedures that would remove sexual temptation as a possiblitiy. Is that necessarily our task as Christians, to avoid ourselves? I mean what about a medical procedure that removes my sin nature? How far do we go to "avoid." I can understand avoiding certain places, or the internet, being alone, etc. But this? Is this too far?

I thought there already was a patch. Only the patch was a living human being and God. Let's say that we know that my baby boy is going to struggle as a heterosexual pervert? Should I invent a patch to make him "normal?" Or, should I teach him about Jesus, and help him learn how to follow Him and become like Him? Either way, it doesn't exempt me from God overcoming my Mr. Fix-it efforts, and blowing me to pieces by his amazing, unfair, life-changing grace. (don't bother commenting unless you read Mohler's article)

another question: which of the following should be recognized as a part of the process of sanctification (God's will):
-a patch that prevents me from being gay
-struggling with homosexual thoughts and actions from birth to death.
