Changes

The causes of [[homosexuality]] are attributable to man's sinful nature, nurture and environment, and personal choice, though this is an issue that is debated. Those from the most [[liberal]] school usually assume a philosophy of determinism, treating homosexuality as a healthy identity or orientation which one has no choice over, and which cannot be changed. This belief is then used to  justify acting it out.<ref>Sylvia Thorson-Smith, ''Reconciling the broken silence'', p. 30</ref> The contrasting and warranted position is that homosexuality is a choice, that of yielding to ultimately harmful desires, and which choice is partly affected by nurture and and environment.

==Biblical causes of homosexuality==

==Causes of homosexuality - biblical explanation ==

The [[Bible]], being  the most comprehensive transcendent moral authority, abundantly deals with human nature and behavior and consistently manifests that the nature of man has not changed since [[the Fall]]. Man is shown to have been created as a perfectly made being (Gn. 1:31) - yet not as a [[automaton]] - but as a being designed to be able to make choices, which thereby allowed him to distort his perfection. God from the beginning also joined male and female in life-long marriage, and placed a priority on the family, and provided laws, as needed, for its health and preservation and that of society, while aberrations result from failure to abide by them.
