       A person has the ability to have sexual relations with another person—the ability to commit fornication—considering both individuals are not married. A person also has the ability to commit adultery with another person. A person too has the ability to engage in homosexual behaviors with another person. But, none of these people have the ‘right’ to do these things. They just have the ability. As the Bible says, “We know that the judgment of God rightly falls on those who practice such things” (Romans 2:2, ESV). God, in his system, has allowed, or permitted for the ability to perform these behaviors which he has said not to do. Now, if people had the ‘right’ to do these things, then God has no ‘right’ to judge them for doing them. Again, a right is an entitlement that is good, right, and true, that which is approved by God. If people have the ‘right’ to do them, then they aren’t doing anything wrong. But, we as Christians know that no ‘real’ rights exist outside of what God has said is good, right, and true.
