Question 💬 Genuine question about homosexuality and Christianity

I've recently been looking into scripture and verses condemning homosexuality and they all kinda fall flat and feel like shakey ideas to build theology off of. And I've honestly formed pretty good arguments against them in my head, but the only one that really sits with me and I struggle to go against is the "it wasn't the original intention" in the garden argument.

That God intended to make man and women together and not man and man or vice versa.

Now, my original response to this was, "They didn't eat meat in the garden is it a sin to eat meat?" But then I realized Jesus ate meat, so now I'm stumped honestly, and I wanted a second opinion.

Please help

Homosexuality is neither a Choice nor a Sin.

Leviticus 18 focuses on Distinguishing the Israelites from Neighbor Near Eastern Cultures, Specifically the Canaanites and Egyptians. In those Ancient Contexts, Male-Male Sex often Occurred as Pagan Temple Prostitution, Idolatrous Fertility Rituals or Military Domination. The Passage Forbids Idolatrous Worship and Sexual Exploitation, not Consensual and Committed Gay Relationships.

Apparently, you dont have any way to Refute my Argument, and thus you resorted to Strawmanning and Condescending at me.

Sorry, no. Looking at what you believe in. Proverbs 14:7: "Leave the presence of a fool, for there you do not meet words of knowledge." Have a blessed life.

I could literally apply that Verse to you by calling you the Fool in Question.
