Could you please elaborate on how a natural sexual orientation can be destructive to our society? What is destructive to our society about 2 men or 2 women loving each other? How can that negatively impact your life?

Can you first explain how homosexuality is natural?
Im sorry but I asked you first.
I can definitely explain how homosexuality is natural by providing you with all the information needed from emotional and biological standpoint, to religious and to historical civilizations.
But I’m really curious if you could answer my questions first.
I asked to know how you are using the term so that I can better respond.
But a simple answer is that the Scriptures are clear that everything outside of the sexual union of one man and one woman in covanental marriage is contrary to nature. Because everything else denies the image of God in man and distorts the created order.
We have convinced ourselves that we can dislodge sex from marriage, family, childbearing, and covenant. But we cannot.
The traditional family household is the foundation of a society. Sexual perversion and deviation of every kind undermines this bedrock and always indicates the moral deterioration of civilizations.
I think sexual orientation is not a perversion or a deviation.
You can’t have a fetish of having gay sex. Perversions are called fetishes or kinks. When instead of the traditional vaginal penetration someone indulges into oral/anal sex, foot play, piss play, role play, BDSM etc, those can be considered perversions or deviations from the traditional way of sex which implies only the act of penetration for reproduction and if I’m not wrong there shouldn’t be much movement when the sexual act occurs (correct me if I’m wrong but from my bible study that’s what I recollect).
There is also the possibility of one individual being bisexual which means he/she is attracted to both genders, men and woman, but under the religious belief of sin they find themselves choosing to not pursue sexual relationships with the same gender as that can be considered a sin or against their religion. This is very similar to people who say that being gay is a choice. It’s not a choice unless you are bisexual and choose to only have sex with one gender.
If you want me to explain my point from above I can answer all your questions about why homosexuality is normal from all the points I mentioned in the previous comment.
Perversion is a distortion of the normal nature or state od something. I am talking about anything other than heterosexual sex in marriage. Even heterosexual sex outside of marriage is a perversion. So I am not making Amy commentary on specific sexual acts.
Sin mars body and soul, and distorts our loves. Just because something may be "natural" as in "not a choice" doesn't justify the desire, behavior, or activity. Christ is Lord of the body, and we are to submit our bodies to his authority knowing that even when our lot in life is hard (unfulfilled "natural" desires) that his good plan and purpose is to bless and mature us in the midst of it and revieve glory from our higher devotion to him.
You might be interested in reading or listening to content from Rosaria Butterfield. Former lesbian now Reformed protestant Christian, married to a pastor, multiple children.
I know Rosaria Butterfield. I’m not religious because I was curious about what religion and God is and ones I started researching I understood what it is and left Christianity. In my option religion is a very dangerous tool of mass manipulation through fear and submission but I’m not judging you for being faithful, it’s your choice and I respect it.
I would like to add to your comment that God made us in his image and we are all small copies of God.
We all know God is all knowing and all loving which automatically implies that when he created gay people he knew already what he was creating and he loves them the same way he loves you and me because there is nothing you can do for him to stop loving you and this is written in the Bible.
God created people with all kinds of predispositions, many of which get distorted. Not a justification for sin.
He has a general loving demeanor towards all his creatures but a special love for his people. Just like a father can show general loving kindness to any child but has a special love for his own children. God's own children are those who repent and follow him, turning away from being the god of their own lives (and sexuality) and submitting to his perfect and loving rule. Nothing can make him stop loving__his own children__and there is an open invitation to be a child of God.
Strange. I can't like this note
