the person is born that way, they believe that homosexuals can be turned straight if they fully turn their heart to Christ. The message towards homosexuals by one large evangelical church located West South-Central region of America are thus, "THE BATTLE CRY has been sounded, the fight has been started, and the stones have been thrown.
