Is God Responsible for a Pedophile's Attractions?

Image
To ensure that there is no misunderstanding of any kind, please say these words out loud, slowly and clearly: I am not comparing homosexuality to pedophilia. I am not calling homosexuals pedophiles. Michael Brown is not comparing a mutually consensual, adult relationship to an abusive, adult-child relationship. All clear? What I am comparing is an illogical justification of homosexuality that can just as easily be used to justify pedophilia. Please allow me to explain. In the past, I have demonstrated how advocates of "man-boy love" have used identical arguments that gay activists have used, specifically: Get Spirit-filled content delivered right to your inbox!

Science and Bible dismiss pro-gay arguments

This three-part series will address the pro-gay theology by dividing its arguments--or tenets--into three categories: social justice arguments, general religious arguments, and scriptural arguments. A brief description of these arguments will be provided, followed by a response/rebuttal to each. Major denominations ordaining homosexuals, priests and clergy presiding over same-sex weddings, sanctuaries invaded by boisterous gay activists, debates over homosexuality ripping congregations apart-who would have guessed we would ever reach such a point in church history? A vigorous debate between Christians and homosexuals shouldn't be surprising in and of itself. If author and commentator Dr. Dennis Praeger are right when he says the Judeo-Christian ethic is responsible for the Western World's disapproval of homosexuality,[1] then conflicts between the Church and the gay rights movement are not only understandable, they are inevitable. (While acceptance of homosexuality in
