How do human sexual emotions develop? Why do certain youths
develop into homosexuals or transvestites? In this article
you will read knowledge even sex researchers may not have understood!

ANY OF US
may be in
for a surprise-or a
shock!
It
does not automati–
cally happen that a young man
and woman become sexually
attracted to each other. Nor
does it automatically happen
that they want to deeply love,
cherish, marry and protect one
another.
These emotions or desires are
not all inherited or innate in the
human constitution.
Not lnborn
H eterosexuali ty- sex ual desi re
toward a member of the opposite
sex-is not altogether inborn. Nor
is homosexuality- sexual desire
toward a member of one's own sex.
Nor, for that matter, are other
damaging sexual feelings or fears
about sex.
Human beings are not born with
an inherited sexual orientation or
sexual instinct that drives them
irrevocably in a certain direction.
There is a reason why many
homosexuals assume they were
"born that way"; why they assume
their sexual attractions and emo–
tions are as natural to them as the
color of their eyes.
Genetics and hormones play a
part in developing human sexuality,
but not in the way many think. And

individual responses to cultural,
parental and personal experiences
play a very big part in molding
human sexual feelings. But, in
addition, there is critica! knowledge
beyond biology and cultural studies
that is missing in modern education
about human sexual and emotional
development.
Missing Knowledge
Scientific sex research is late on the
scene. lt began just after the mid–
dle of the 19th century. Sex
researchers have indeed gained cer–
tain knowledge and understanding
about genetics, hormones and envi–
ronment and their combined effect
on shaping human sexuality.
Yet, "the ímpetus behind the
homosexual urge coótained in the
male bond remains unexplained,"
writes psychologist C.A. Tripp in
summarizing such research in his
book
The Homosexual Matrix,
page 53. But the missing ímpetus is
explained in the pages of your
Bible!
Humanity through the ages has
rejected essential knowledge from
the Creator. Researchers, rejecting
revealed knowledge, are looking for
answers to damaging human prob–
lems-sexual and otherwise- only
by their own limited
physical
tools
of discovery and reasoning. They
look for answers in the physical
makeup of the human body or
brain when the major problem is a
spiritua/
matter- a problem in the
spiritual attitude, motivation and
desires of individuals.
Researchers have developed the–
ories to explain individual human
sexual feelings, problems and moti–
vations without understanding the
true nature of human nature. We
must understand tbis
first.
Then
we can rightly use the added
demonstrable
discoveries of human
sexual research.
Why has humanity been plagued
with so many damaging sexual
problems? Why sexual fears and
phobias? Why so many unhappy
intimate marital relationships?
Why so many damaging feelings
among human beings and between
the sexes?
The Bible reveals the origin of
these problems in events before the
first man and woman were
created!
Fi rst Per vert ed Being
Scripture reveals the existence of a
great spirit being, an archangel,
who rebelled against the laws and
government- the
way-of
his Cre–
ator (lsa. 14:12-15; Ezek. 28:12-
19).
His name, in Latín, is Lucifer
and means "lightbringer." He was
created to be the bringer of God's
truth to the earth, inhabited first
by angels, later man. Instead, this
great archangel swayed one third of
God's angels to follow his self-seek-
