Remember when you were little and you asked your parents why something was so and they said, "Because I said so"... the same applies to the Bible.. I don't question the Lord's wisdom, I just accept it. I prefer the teaching of God's word on this subject:
Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.--Colossians 4:6
We are also counseled by Paul to be always ready to give an answer for the hope that we have.
There is a great gulf between questioning God's wisdom and asking questions about why things are the way they are. A faith that can't stand up to a reverent, curious question from a believer (much less a question from a skeptic) is of little value, and is certainly not the bold faith passed down to us by people like Aquinas and Augustine.

Except that there really aren't any answers. Saying the homosexuality is wrong because God intended marriage between a man & wife is just restating the question a different way. Obviously, an omnipotent God could just as easily have created a world wherein same-sex relationships were the healthy, moral ones, while straights were the sinners. As it happens, He didn't, but it's circular to say that it's ungodly to be different from what God wants us to be.

yes but there are some things that have no answers, things for which we are not supposed to know the answers to until we reach heaven..
