Thank you for replying but it doesn't answer the question which is why didn't Jesus say one word about it? Homosexuality (orientation) was not undestood in Biblical times. It is not clear throughout the whole Bible; there are only six verses and some of those are questionable/have been questioned.
I am straight. I never chose. I believe it is not a choice. Not one I ever made and not one that anyone can make, or would want to make. That means it is not their fault. So many sins out there where people are harming others and we choose this particular thing to be obsessed with. Why???

These are the words of Jesus:
6 And He said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts. 7 He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son. 8 But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.” Revelation 21:6-8

All science ... all Medical associations worldwide are propagating a myth. I guess Evolution is a myth as well. Well, whatever you have to do to keep your "faith" intact, I guess.
So you are saying that straight people never chose, but homosexuals DID choose? huh?? And why choose something that would cause you so much pain and misery due to others? Makes no sense. The whole choice thng is bs.

Jesus defined marriage as between one man and one woman for life. That is our sexual orientation not your perverted version of it.
“Haven’t you read the Scriptures?” Jesus replied. “They record that from the beginning ‘God made them male and female.’ ” And he said, “‘This explains why a man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife, and the two are united into one.’ Since they are no longer two but one, let no one split apart what God has joined together.”
Matthew 19:4-6 NLT

See what God did with sodom and gomorrah. They were filled with homosexuals. There is onlya ashes, sulfur and salt left of them now.
People obsess becauae it has become a trendlot to be gay. Just like witches and new age thingsof. When something becomes a Trend them we talk aboit that more

there are people born with both genitalia
when someone does not understand how fallen the human race is, they will dump on science and just try to avoid any conversation that makes them uncomfortable
however the Bible is quite capable of dealing even with those types of questions
you are not correct when you state Jesus never said anything about sexual sin...homosexuality in particular in this case
you cannot just read the NT and understand what is going with what God says
read the entire chap of Leviticus I quoted one verse from above...chapt 18

you know, those creatures actually eat carrion and other disgusting things. God did not allow for anything 'unclean' as you may know if familiar with the OT and the was drilled into the Israelites by physical law and behavior
as for pork, pigs are normally filled with a nasty little worm called trichinosis that is killed by freezing and I think cooking really well also so lambies it was...regular fish ok and fowl ...kind of forget all the details but they are there
what God finds abominable is what He calls 'unclean'
I should add that the NT does not have dietary restrictions for us now but if someone wants to follow them I'm sure that is fine for them
problems start when people want to force other people to follow the physical demands of OT law
some common sense should be thrown in the mix too because we are all (hopefully) much more aware of how to prepare certain foods now...however there are still plenty of precautions to be taken...MacDonalds just removed all their salads because people were sick eating them
so the nasties are still there
Eating shellfish was a different Hebrew word for "abomination" than the abomination for homosexuality. It meant eating it was a religious ceremonial violation. But that is done away with in the New Testament. But homosexuality is sickening to the point it makes God want to vomit is the "abomination" used there. Homosexuality is still prohibited in the New Testament.
Now I understand. You are right ... always and in all ways. Anyone who has a different view is wrong ... always and in all ways. I get it. I find it sad, but I do get it. I am not here to argue about this. I dont believe homosexuals are perverts who choose this. I believe they are attracted to the same sex (dont want to be but are). I am attracted to the opposite sex ... so I guess I am lucky. But I dont get on the back of their misfortune and call them perverts, or damn them to Hell. I think I will let God be the judge of all of these things and I suspect, sexuality (consensual between two adults/no harm to each other) will not be the biggest thing on his list.
Perhaps on his list will be things like murder, rape, cheating, lying, stealing, hurting others, etc., etc. Have a good day all.

ALL sexual immorality is a sin. If I were to classify which is the worst it would that direct towards children. Ie, 'It would be better to have a millstone tied around you'r neck and thrown into the sea than to cause a child to stumble.' I believe Children are given a special grace by the Lord. This is not a matter for debate with me folks so please don't try. If you think bowing to Ceasar is as bad as pedophilia, well I won't feel sorry for you in the lake of fire.
Back on topic; Adultery and fornication are just as bad. Probably most of us have been guilty of at least one of them at some time in our lives. All we have to do is ask for forgiveness and repent but repenting takes more than words, it takes action.
Grease and Rome were openly pan-sexual societies back in the day. So the amount of sexual immorality we have today pales in comparison. Paul opened his robe in public to prove he was Jewish [circumsised]. Can anyone imagine a preacher doing that today?
