A sermon that my roommate was playing today on the Internet was outlining the things that please and displease God. He mentioned as one of his points that God does not hate things about humans that are out of their realm of control. God hates neither baldness or hair; He expresses no preference in eye, hair or skin color; He accepts people of all height, width, and length. We can take this to mean that anything God gave us at birth (i.e.anything genetic) does not make any one person more favorable in His eyes than any of the rest of us. It's our choices alone that can please or displease God.

What does this mean for people with a genetic disposition to kleptomania? Pedophilism? Murder? Do they have a smaller chance percentage-wise of being loved by God? Are these people really making a choice, or just being propelled by pre-determined genetic impulse?

And if you don't believe any of those are genetic dispositions, think about the case of homosexuality. Clearly, God does not favor this. But research has shown that this trait can be passed on in a lineage. Does this imply that those who are prone to being gay have a higher chance of being shunned by God only because of what He gave them in the first place?

Just a thought.
