I read 34: 1. If in fact homosexuals are born that way, God already knew that. 2. God knows they are ‘born that way’ and He still said “Do not engage in homosexual sex.” A genetic predisposition to a condition doesn’t make the behavior any less sinful in God’s eyes. If my genetic history means I develop diabetes, does that mean I can go ahead and eat all the carbs I want because I was “born this way”?

God also made us all sinners and yet we were exhorted to not sin, even thought the Old Covenant is all about God proving that we could not abstain from sin. He gave us the commandments because we asked for them and with them, sin grew exponentially. Jesus was the only "Man" to walk the earth that could do so without sinning. Prove that wrong and I'll concede the argument. Of course, you will also have to prove that Jesus didn't have to die for us to become justified and redeemed because somehow we are really capable of becoming worthy of our own selves.

Do you believe that God had no idea that Satan would tempt Adam and Eve and that they would be cast out of the Garden? Do you think that during this part of Genesis,: "Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the Lord God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the Lord God among the trees of the garden. 9 But the Lord God called to the man, “Where are you?”

10 He answered, “I heard you in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid.”

11 And he said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?”

that God did not know where Adam was hiding? Do you believe that He did not already know that they had eaten from the tree?

Until someone can answer those questions, the "argument" holds no water. Folks are just trying to justify that they are somehow superior or holier than homosexuals and they flail wildly in order to keep from having to admit that they are every bit as unworthy without Jesus Loving Sacrifice.

Don’t give me your specious ‘arguments’,
I really don’t care whether your questions are answered or not.
Jesus told the woman taken in adultery ‘Your sins are forgiven you, go and sin no more’
God is all knowingPERIOD
I don’t believe He has to satisfy your questions.
