No Gay Gene, Declares Nature.com (God's Word Had Made This Clear Long Beforehand, Of Course!)

Regarding homosexuality and other sexual perversions, the Laws of Nature and Nature's God had already been informed to us long ago through God's Word:

26For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: 27And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. (Romans 1:26-27)

Notice that Paul the Apostle writes to the Romans about "natural affection". Here, he is indicating that God's design for each human being, their default natural position de naturis (literally, "from birth") is that a man is designed for sexual relations with a woman, and a woman is designed for sexual relations with a man.

Indeed, human beings are born for sexual relations with the opposite sex, not for "vile affections" with the same sex.

Human science and scholarship is always lagging behind God's revelation, but eventually man does arrive at understanding what God had already made plain to the world through revelation in His Word.

Nature.com reports:

"The largest study to date on the genetic basis of sexuality has revealed five spots on the human genome that are linked to same-sex sexual behaviour — but none of the markers are reliable enough to predict someone’s sexuality.

"The findings, which are published on 29 August in Science and based on the genomes of nearly 500,000 people, shore up the results of earlier, smaller studies and confirm the suspicions of many scientists: while sexual preferences have a genetic component, no single gene has a large effect on sexual behaviours.

“There is no ‘gay gene’,” says lead study author Andrea Ganna, a geneticist at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard in Cambridge, Massachusetts."

As both the sacred and now finally the secular sources declare that homosexuality is neither genetic nor natural, therefore I share with every MassResistance member and supporter:

Please present this information to every person you can every chance you get.

If there was needed any evidence to confirm to the general public that which we have known since the beginning, this comprehensive summary proves it.

There is no gay gene.

People are not born gay.

There is no scientific basis for recognizing homosexuality as an immutable characteristic.

Because it's clearly unnatural, in that individuals are not born "that way," we can properly assert that 

homosexual behavior violates the Laws of Nature and Nature's God.

The United States Constitution recognizes the Laws of Nature through the reference "law of nations", which is found in Article 1, Section 8, Clause 10.

James Wilson, an established legal scholar who signed the Declaration of Independence and the United States Constitution, asserted the following regarding the law of nations and its connection with the laws of nature:

"The law of nature, when applied to states or political societies, receives a new name, that of the law of nations." (James Wilson, Of the Law of Nations, Lectures on Law)

The United States Supreme Court undermined the rule of law in imposing false marriage, based on the false premise that homosexual behavior is another static status, like ethnicity or sex. The United States Constitution enshrines protection for the Laws of Nature and Nature's God. The Supreme Court had no right to undermine the fundamental laws of nature in order to provide another benefit, or another right to sodomy, and furthermore to undermine and redefine marriage outside of its natural dimensions: one man and one woman.

The Supreme Court of the United States must revist Lawrence v. Texas and Obergfell v. Hodges. Those rulings are in flagrant violation of the United States Constitution, and they must be overturned.

Furthermore, President Donald J. Trump should abandon any further efforts to support decriminalization of homosexualty, a behavior which is naturally destructive and in violation of the laws of nature.

This Christmas, Even in This Dark Time, Enjoy the Light

“It’s Christmas! You should rejoice!” The presence of family, presents under the Christmas tree, rocking around to different versions of “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree” should encourage everyone to celebrate!

Christmas, a time to rejoice with lights and perfections, can also be one of the darkest times of the year. A close family member—parent, spouse, sibling— may have passed away during this time, and that loss is particularly painful during the Christmas season. There are many alone, homeless, ill. They endure this festive time coupled with their intense, personal privations. For many, Christmas should be a time of great celebration. This pressure adds to their pain.

Christmas has been both a dark time and a bright time for me, too. Some years, there was nothing but joy and victory to ponder from the previous months. Sometimes, it seemed like there was nothing to celebrate.

In the world today, it seems that the shadow of death is not just overcast, but cannot be overcome. Despite victories here and there on the life and liberty front, the forces of evil march on:

1.       In Indonesia, a brutal tsunami wiped out hundreds of lives just three days before Christmas. This is not the first time in recent memory that a horrific tsunami wreaked such havoc during the Christmas season.

2.       Throughout the world, younger generations are determined to embrace socialism, the very corrosive cultural, economic, and political cult which the Greatest Generation had defeated during World War II. Millennials and even post-Millennials know nothing about the Freedom Trio of Reagan, Thatcher, and Pope John Paul II who defeated Communism, and thus ended the Cold War in 1989. Incidentally, he Soviet Union officially ceased to exist on Christmas Day, 1991. Sadly, the Specter of Communism has not be consigned to the ash heap of history after all.

3.     In the so-called Free World of the West, freedoms of speech, assembly, and religions face untold hardships. Tommy Robinson of Great Britain reported the truth about Islam, and he was shut away in a prison for months. Bill Whatcott of Canada endures untold criminal indictments just for preaching the Gospel, and his government is more committed to political correctness than moral uprightness to this day. Aaron and Melissa Klein of Oregon, Jack Philipps of Colorado, and others face civil penalties or unrelenting legal action because they refuse to endorse the LGBT Agenda in their private businesses.

4.       Americans have forgotten the sacrifices which helped bring down the Berlin Wall. At the same time, politicians in Washington DC refuse to build a wall along the United States’ Southern Border to secure our country and legacy.

5.       As of this writing, the stock market is facing an unprecedented downturn. Wealth creation is turning into wealth evaporation for those who bet big on a strong stock market.

6.       The very businessmen and corporations which benefited from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 are using their unprecedented wealth to undermine the very country which made wealth creation possible and essential to its character of free enterprise.

7.       For three years in a row, the opioid crisis and addiction epidemic has cut the average lifespan of Americans. The reason? Many have lost the reason to live, and not just for a season.

It’s a dark time right time.

Despite these tragedies, all of us need to remember what—or rather Who—this season celebrates.

Christmas is about the Light of the World (John 8:12) who came into this darkness. It’s not about pretending there is no darkness, but about remembering that the world has a Savior to rescue and protect us in the midst of the darkness.

The prophet Isaiah declared:

“The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined.” (Isaiah 9:2)

Why?

“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counseller, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.” (Isaiah 9:6)

There are so many walking, stumbling in a dark world right now.

But notice that phrase “in the land of the shadow of death.” It reminds us of the beloved 23^rd Psalm: 

“Yea, thou I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for thou art with me.”

Jesus, the Savior of the World, is also called “Immanuel” which means “God with us”. From the beginning, he entered into darkness, relieving and comforting us in dark places. His birth came at a bleak time, more foreboding than our own. Ruthless Caesars in Rome could force a world-wide census upon numerous conquered peoples. There were no rights for all, but ultimately privileges for “citizens of Rome.” Entertainment was a fatuous bloodsport of slaves butchering each other before mindless crowds.

And yet, in a tiny manger in a forlorn stable in an overlooked city, Christ the Savior was born. The Light of the World came into a world that had no hope, no peace.

This Light guides the souls of millions today, and they are not overcome by darkness:

1.       Chinese Christians are fighting back despite Communist regime crackdowns.

2.       From West Hollywood to Boston, Massachusetts, evangelical churches are sprouting up across the United States.

3.       Iranians are converting to Christianity in unprecedented numbers, in spite of persecution in their home country.

This Christmas, we may live in a dark world gone darker, but the darkness does not have to overcome us. This Christmas season, ignore the surrounding chaos and enjoy the Light, just as the Israelites in Exodus weathered the plagues, then enjoyed divine light in their homes (Exodus 10:23). Let us rest and receive the true reason for the season, the Light and Savior of the World, God who became a man, the baby born to die that man could be set free from sin and enjoy life eternally.
