how come when people refer to an abomination they mean something that is unforgivable. i have a study bible and i've read leviticus ch 18 - 20. it states that an abomination means when you die you will be smited. a smite is like a smack to the back of the head. we will all be smited for our sins. so why do people say being a homosexual is an abomination, meaning unforgiveable, when being straight can be a sin too. i'll explain. within those verses it states that if you think it you might as well have done it. a straight guy looks at a girl and thinks 'oh god i wish i could mount you on the bed and f*ck your brains out.'

What study Bible are you using. The word abomination means "detestable or repulsive" not unforgivable. Homosexuality as with any other sin is forgivable. Has your quote about " if you thought you done it " comes from Matthew 5:27 - 28, where Jesus is teaching about lust.

It's all hogwash anyway. Homosexuality isn't an abomination.
