The Scriptures condemn not only the acts, but the feelings too (Romans 1:26-27).

Not to split hairs too much,
but if you read 1:18, you’ll see that

acceptance of homosexuality in a society

IS

“God’s wrath” as “revealed from heaven”.

The Bible condemns shameful lusts whether those lusts are directed to the same sex or to the other sex.

I simple unbidden feeling of attraction, if you do not "entertain" it (or permit it to "entertain" you!) and which you do no cooperate with, even in your mind ---- this is a temptation but it is not a sin.

If you cooperate with the thoughts, even just through fantasy, that is a sin. It is an interior act.

How does one condemn a feeling? Does that mean an emotion? (note: loaded question— more to follow :)
