I can only urge you to have patience with people who are not yet understanding of how to unconditionally love those who are not like them. The gospel is absolutely perfect...without blemish...however, the people in it are not. There is no excuse for speaking or acting against a follower of Christ or any human being.Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00607254561796436728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2847440472042684174.post-59899511978966871772010-02-28T08:14:43.335-08:002010-02-28T08:14:43.335-08:00Sorry for the second comment but a couple more ide...Sorry for the second comment but a couple more ideas that are important to me:<br /><br />If I have an alcoholic brother, is it my duty to continually remind him of the evils of his nature and his actions (things that he already knows) or is it my duty to love him unconditionally and help him in any way I can?

You have brought up some thought provoking ideas. Upon reading some of the commenst I have come to the conclusion that there are far too many misconceptions and misunderstandings when it comes to homosexuality, same sex attraction, SGA, Gay-ity or whatever one chooses to refer to it as. These misunderstandings even exist amongst the brethren Richhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03006256975840584997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2847440472042684174.post-79659587309651561352010-02-27T17:13:53.642-08:002010-02-27T17:13:53.642-08:00I agree that all of God's children should be l...I agree that all of God's children should be loved and treated with kindness and respect, despite the habits and sins we all commit.

I don't mind at all, I'm very glad to hear from you! <br /><br />I remember some of your statements about homosexuality and the prop 8 when that issue was hot. I'm not sure why I haven't really pondered/researched the issue deeply until now. I remember reading Dr. Bradshaw's paper a few years ago and being affected by it, but I have a lot more to say this time aroundmistahdoomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10565026922565152435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2847440472042684174.post-41339758047195635742010-02-25T21:47:15.725-08:002010-02-25T21:47:15.725-08:00Hey Bradley!

I've thought a lot on this topic over the past few years ever since one of my cousins came home from his mission, came "out of the closet", and subsequently left the church. I've always thought of homosexuality to be one of the toughest challenges anyone could be face with Breehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08052514389105324958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2847440472042684174.post-72909477530290774712010-02-25T06:36:59.986-08:002010-02-25T06:36:59.986-08:00Great post, Brad.

I'm browsing the 88 references on the "Biology and Sexual Orientation" wikipedia article and the 160 references at the end of Dr Bradshaw's article. I think the 62% figure derives from "The Heritability of Gender Identity in a Child and Adolescent Twin Sample" by Coolidge, Thede, and Young.

I like it, for one because it is thought provoking, sincere, and given good effort.<br /><br />One comment right now....I've previously read over the results/conclusions from those twins studies, and from that, find it hard to figure out how the statistical analysis on heritablity was conducted to arrive at the figure you, via Prof. Bradshaw, Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10184989811612806188noreply@blogger.com
