Question by CindyComesBack: Christians Two Questions For You On Homosexuality?
I’ve seen Christians claiming that being homosexual is a choice, not something a person is born with. Leaving aside that I’ve known personally several homosexuals who say that they knew they were attracted to their same gender since they were very, very young (like five or six) before they even knew what sex was, I have two questions for you:

1. Since you don’t believe people are born homosexual, then do you believe it is the devil causing people to be or feel homosexual even at such a young age?

2. What if that child was baptised as a baby but feels he or she is homosexual (attracted to the same gender) later as a young child anyway? Does that mean the baptism didn’t take, or what?

Question by .: (Job application) What does this mean?
I’m applying for a job at Macy’s and the application asked for my criminal history. I have a misdemeanor. It asked for “Subsequent rehabilitation”. What exactly does that mean?

The misdemeanor happened in 2006 (Criminal Mischief) and I was put on probation. The problem is, I didn’t comply with the terms of my probation and I just got off of it late last year. Will that severely hurt my chances of getting the job?

Answer by Mack
Subsequent rehabilitation — that means if you had a drug or alcohol abuse problem did you receive in patient care to assist you with overcoming your dependency
