Christian Science does not agree with the theory that morals grow out of people's behavior. It stands firmly on the ground that morals for mankind are derived from the divine Mind, God, and that they are therefore ageless. Morally right behavior pertaining to sex was revealed by Moses. Christ Jesus unveiled more of the spiritual basis of the moral law, but of this law he said, "I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil." Matt. 5:17; Mrs. Eddy in her revelation of Christian Science shows us that human behavior in accord with the moral law is scientifically related to divine Truth. And in this scientific relationship we find the basis for the healing of sin. That homosexuality is a deviation from the moral law is made plain in the Bible, where it is recorded that the Lord spoke to Moses saying, "If a man ... lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death: their blood shall be upon them." Lev. 20:13; In Jesus' Sermon on the Mount we find the harshness of the Mosaic law modified. We also find emphasis placed more on motives than on overt acts. But we do not find any actual change in the rightness or wrongness of behavior in regard to sex. Lust is explained as a thing of the heart, and Christian Science shows that the motives of the heart govern the acts of the body as well as the health of the body.

    So your body controls you?
    You cannot use your will?

      Absolutely not, it is my will to reply to your nonsensical comments to highlight how deranged they are to future readers.

      Also, can you prove to be provided if free will in a universe which seems to be ruled by deterministic factors? Welcome to modern philosophy :)

        Can we say LGBTQ+ are deranged?
        Those who willingly reject God first in this world, will be rejected by Him in the next.

          No, we cannot.

          The “natural behaviour” argument also bear no weight to the discussion since homosexual intercourse is well documented in a number of animal species thus rendering this a “natural” act as many others.

          Hope to have made myself clear

            LGBTQ+ (which you are part of) are deranged.
            It is a disorder (even if seen in a number of animal species).
            You cannot distinguish between right and wrong (even if seen in a number of animal species).

              Well, at least I don’t use people’ sexual preferences, which they cannot choose, to be a dick to them. I can see what’s right and wrong there while you clearly can’t.

              Happy holidays once more I presume
