Chris Christie Gives His Opinion on Sin and Being Gay

Yesterday during an interview with Sean Hannity, Chris Christie stated that he did not think God would allow people to live a life in sin and he thought being gay was not a choice from his experience. I don't expect Christie to go very far in the primary and would not support him because he is left of everyone on every issue, but this issue got me thinking about those in my extended family that are gay. Here are some things that I noticed:

1. Their families were dysfunctional, possibly the most of all their cousins.
2. Their parents got divorced.
3. They came in contact with someone who was gay and was looking for a partner, much older in one case.
4. There was marijuana involved (for sure in one case).

Of course not everyone that experiences all four of these life situations ends up gay. And not every gay person has all of these experiences. I just thought it was interesting that their childhoods were both rough and then someone brought them into the lifestyle.

As far as God not allowing someone to live a life of sin, of course that is ridiculous, God allows all kinds of different people to live with all kinds of different sin. The weeds are not pulled until the final day, as the Bible states (Matthew 13:29). But Jesus forgave a life criminal hanging on the cross next to him right before he died, so there is salvation for everyone up until the end (Luke 23:32-43).
