The Truth: Innate, Biological, Born Same-Sex Attraction

A Message to the Counterfeit, the Bigot, the Ignorant, and the Curious
Let’s get this correct, before we speak of sin, salvation, or sanctity, we must first speak of truth. Not the distorted, domesticated version you’ve inherited through bad pulpits and worse translations. I’m talking about truth in its raw, ancient, sacred form, truth as it was spoken by prophets, embodied by Christ, and written in tongues much richer than English could ever hope to be.

And so this is for all of you:
To the counterfeit believer, the cultural Christian whose faith is a performance piece in patriotism and power.
To the bigot hiding behind scripture like a sniper with a suppressor.
To the ignorant who know only what they were told by someone else’s prejudice.
And to the curious, the sincere seeker of Christ, who suspects something deeper is at play.
This is for you.

Scripture Has Been Weaponized—And God Is Not Amused
Let’s begin with the elephant in the pew: the Bible, in English, is one of the most mistranslated, misused, and abused documents in religious history. That’s not a slight against the sacred Word, it’s an indictment of the hands and agendas that twisted it. English, as a language, lacks the spiritual architecture of Hebrew and the philosophical depth of Greek. It is often too thin to carry the divine weight of the original tongues.

When people quote Leviticus 18:22 and 20:13 to condemn same-sex attraction, they betray not only the text but the God who inspired it. The Hebrew does not merely say, “If a man lies with another man.” It draws a far more complex, and damning, picture, not of love, but of power and abuse.
​
The word used is Ish—a man of standing, of covenantal authority. Think patriarch, military officer, statesman, priest, advisor, judge, man of valor, man of God. This is not just a man, this is the man in the social order.

And the second word? Zakar (זָכָר)—yes, biologically male, but not a peer. A subordinate. A dependent. One without social agency. In many contexts, a servant. Sometimes a son. Sometimes a victim. One whose name denotes vulnerability.

The text, in its true Hebrew structure, doesn’t condemn two equals in consensual love, it condemns the violent abuse of authority. A powerful man (Ish) who forces himself upon a powerless male (Zakar). That is the abomination. That is what cries out for justice. The same way the prophets cried out against those who “devour widows’ houses” and “trample the heads of the poor into the dust of the earth.” It is not love that is condemned. It is exploitation.

To claim this passage as a blanket condemnation of same-sex attraction is to do violence not only to the text, but to the people made in the image of God. For centuries, millions have been shackled under shame and false condemnation because of deliberate mistranslations that reek not of holiness but of human manipulation. But the truth sets us free, and the truth is this: those born with same-sex attraction are not an abomination to God. They are not accursed. They are not condemned. They bear the divine image just as fully as any other soul.

Paul Did Not Say “Homosexual”—And You Know It
Let’s be honest. You don’t need a degree in Ancient Greek to know that the word homosexual was invented in the 19th century and force-fed into Scripture in the 20th. It is a modern socio-political term, not a biblical one. It first appeared in 1868 in German academic circles and wormed its way into English Bibles only as recently as the 1940s. That’s 1,900 years after Paul wrote his letters. And yet entire denominations have been built on this anachronism.

What Paul actually wrote were two rare words: malakoi and arsenokoitai.

• Malakoi simply means “soft.” Christ Himself used it in Matthew 11:8 to describe the luxurious clothing of the wealthy. It referred to moral laxity, softness in virtue, not sexuality.
• Arsenokoitai is a compound word--arsen (male) and koite (bed)—and appears nowhere else in classical Greek literature before Paul. That means we have no ancient reference point except how Paul uses it. Scholars believe he drew it from the Septuagint translation of Leviticus, which we’ve already seen is rooted in the condemnation of power-based sexual violence, not consensual attraction.

To slam these two obscure Greek terms into the concrete box of “homosexual” is not interpretation, it’s manipulation. It’s building theology not on revelation but on fear, politics, and prejudice.

If anything, Paul is railing against the very same exploitation that Leviticus condemned, a man of standing using his power for sexual domination, in a world where temple prostitution, slave abuse, and pederasty were tragically common. Paul’s grief is aimed at corruption, not orientation. Dehumanization, not identity. If you insert the word “homosexual” into his letters, you haven’t just made a translation error, you’ve turned the Gospel into a weapon.

What the Text Actually Condemns: Contradiction, Hypocrisy, Lawlessness
Let’s talk about what God does condemn. It’s not love between two consenting adults. It’s hatred disguised as holiness. It’s bigotry dressed up in piety. It’s lawlessness parading as orthodoxy.

“Everyone who practices sin also practices lawlessness; and sin is lawlessness.” (1 John 3:4)
“You say you love God? Good for you. So do the demons—and they tremble.” (James 2:19, paraphrased)
“If someone says, ‘I love God,’ and hates his brother, he is a liar.” (1 John 4:20)
“The one who does not love does not know God, for God is love.” (1 John 4:8)

To hate your neighbor while quoting Scripture is not righteousness, it is rebellion. You are not defending truth, you are perverting it. The Bible calls it hypocrisy. Proverbs 6 calls it an abomination.

So let me be clear:
You cannot house hatred, racism, misogyny, bigotry, and prejudice in your heart and simultaneously claim to be filled with the Holy Spirit. You can’t.

“What harmony has Christ with Belial?” (2 Corinthians 6:15)
Answer: None.

The contradiction itself is the abomination. And if you live in contradiction, if your life is a liturgy of hate, then you are not saved. You are Hellbound.
Period.

“Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord…’ and I will say to them, ‘I never knew you. Depart from Me, you workers of lawlessness.’” (Matthew 7:23)

This Is Not About Labels—It’s About Covenant
This isn’t about names or labels. This is about covenant. About whether you actually walk in the footsteps of Christ. About whether you embody the royal law:

“Love your neighbor as yourself.” (Leviticus 19:18, Matthew 22:39)
“Love one another as I have loved you.” (John 13:34)

Real love, covenantal love, means honoring boundaries, protecting the vulnerable, telling the truth, and living in fidelity to God’s character. It means refusing to exploit others for your own comfort, your own fear, your own inherited theology.

You are not required to embrace or entertain those who walk in hate and call it holiness.
You are not called to be silent in the face of injustice masquerading as righteousness.
You are called to stand with Christ, and Christ stood with the outcast, the marginalized, the condemned.

To twist the Word of God into a tool for religious oppression is to crucify Christ anew, not in your body, but in the body of your neighbor. The tragedy is not that people were born gay. The tragedy is that people were born again, and yet never learned to love.

Let’s be real:

• People don’t hate same-sex attraction because of the Bible.
• They use the Bible to justify the hate they already carry.

Because if the truth were to break through, if they had to admit that God does not condemn those born with same-sex attraction, it would unravel them. Their religion, their identity, their moral superiority would fall apart. And that, more than anything, is what they fear.

But the Truth Is This:
You who were born with same-sex attraction--
You who have carried the weight of shame not born from God but from man--
You who have been cast out by counterfeit believers--

You are not an abomination.
You are not rejected.
You are not broken.
You were fearfully and wonderfully made.
You are loved by the One who formed you in the womb.

And nothing, nothing, can separate you from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
​
“For I am convinced that neither death nor life, nor angels nor demons… nor anything else in all creation will be able to separate us from the love of God.” (Romans 8:38–39)

Amen.
