Without a standard, people are confused about what is right and wrong. For example, many people will tolerate monogamous same-sex relationships but they will not tolerate people who have sex with children (pedophelia). The reason given for both is the same and contradictory - choice. (Where have we heard that reason before?)
I would say the same for people who have sex with the same gender. They are deceived and manipulated by a society that condones perverse, immoral, and dangerous behavior. As for the rationale that a person does not "choose" homosexual behavior, I would compare it to any other behavior not tolerated by society. Alcoholism, pedophelia, and stealing are all addicting behavior but we do not condone the behavior just because a person feels an overwhelming desire (no choice). We help them change their behavior or hold them accountable. Homosexual behavior cannot be genetic because they cannot reproduce. Anyone who believes evolution (though faulty) should agree that homosexual behavior could not survive.
The scripture declares that homosexuality is unnatural and sinful. It is a sin grievous to God and repulsive to Christians because it rejects God's design for mankind as heterosexual beings.
Though there may be many influences in a person's life, the root of homosexuality is a sinful heart. Therefore, homosexuals have only one hope of being reconciled to God and rejecting their sinful behavior - faith in Jesus Christ alone. AFA seeks to use every opportunity to promote and encourage the efforts of ex-homosexual ministries and organizations.
It is the duty of individual Christians and Christ's Church corporately to bring the gospel to homosexuals and to speak out against the acceptance of sin in our culture.
We oppose the homosexual movement's efforts to convince our society that their behavior is normal because we fear the judgement of God on our nation.
The homosexual movement is a progressive outgrowth of the sexual revolution of the past 40 years and will lead to the normalization of even more deviant behavior.
The homosexual movement's promotion of same-sex marriage undermines the God-ordained institution of marriage and family which is the foundation of all societies.
We oppose the efforts of the homosexual movement to force its agenda on our sentiments in schools, government, business and workplaces through law, public policy and media. Our strong opposition is a reaction to the homosexual movement's aggressive strategies.
We oppose the effort to convince our culture that because individuals participate in homosexual behavior, they have earned the right to be protected like racial and other minority groups.
While we are resolute in our opposition to the homosexual movement, we recognize the importance of maintaining Christian integrity in all our efforts. By God's grace we will reject the temptation to become bitter or hateful in our words or actions.
Finally, we seek faithfulness more than victory. We work with the confidence that the one true Sovereign God of the Bible will fulfill His purposes.
