Yes. He cured mine, in fact.

If they want to stop doing whatever it is. Notice 1 Corinthians 6; 9 -11 where Paul states the things that can keep one from God's Kingdom including homosexuality. Then at verse 11 , he mentions that some christians had done those things , but had been washed clean. Ephesians 4 ; 22, 23 says that ones should put away the old personality, but to be made new in the force actuating their mind.

Yes homosexuality is a sin- those who believe in Jesus christ and REPENT of their sin will be saved! But to repent means to turn away from- and with the Holy Spirit living in you once you are saved- you are able to flee from immorality.
Jesus says "Apart from me you can do nothing"
-It is HIM in us that helps us overcome temptation.
Mark 3:28-29 says:
28I tell you the truth, all the sins and blasphemies of men will be forgiven them. 29But whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven; he is guilty of an eternal sin."
( The only sin that will not be forgiven is that someone rejects Christ and never believes in Him-)
Luke 15:7
I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent.
-God can save anyone-

The word "cure" is inappropriate, as homosexuality is not classed as a disease or illness. "Change" is a better term. Homosexuality is not volitional in most cases, although in cases of a shift from hetero- to homosexual due to trauma, it may be considered so. I believe that Jesus Christ can and will help anyone who asks to make positive changes in his or her life. But you have to work at it, too. You only get help if you are willing to help yourself, too. So you won't get change if you do nothing.

He could if it was a disease, but it's not. I think it's part of life. Many think that God doesn't want us here, but he made us this way for what ever reason. To say other wise would be blasphemous as God does not make mistakes or he/she would not be Lord.
Maybe were her to test the patience of str8 folk. Maybe were here to help control the population. What ever the reason God put us here on purpose.
I read somewhere (and no not just in the movie Dogma) angels are androgynous. They may appear to us in any form or gender but have no true existence as male or female.
My point is I don't think got cares about something so small. The type of person inside and how you treat you brethren, God's children is what counts.
The Bible is full of statement that are misconstrued and heavily edit to suit the need of the King and or the times.

It matters if you really do want to believe in him or if your just doing it so you are no longer homosexual. Many Christians believe that Jesus dislikes people who are homosexual although it is also said that he loves everyone. So contradiction you might need to debate this one.

Though Jesus did many healing miracles in his day, there's no mention of him curing homosexuality. Still, I figure that if he made the blind see, the deaf hear, the paralyzed walk, and the dead rise, can't see why he could'nt cure the unnatural desire of homosexuality from people if they choose.
Nowadays, we don't see miracles like those mentioned in the Bible, but still the Bible considers homosexuality an abomination. One should try to curb those unnatural desires if one is truly a believer. Same goes with other problems, like alcoholism and drugs. No doubt though, the fight to change may be tough, but perseverence will pay off in the long run.

They can be set free and delivered from it- He loves them all- not the sin- It helps to want to be free and admit it is a sin- so many are deceived and believe the lie that they were born that way- many were molested and had an incident that directed them that way- D

Exodus International claim that he can.
Overcoming a bad habit or an inherent weakness, like alcoholism or homosexuality, is usually done in stages, or steps, rather than all at once. But I suppose that miracles still happen.

Homosexuality is not a choice but a sexual orientation. So its not a disease that needs a cure, even though there are those who believe differentially.

Yes! Jesus died for you. If you give Him your whole heart and not just the parts you want to give up he will take your sins and remember them no more. You have to make a choice of weather you want to hold onto your old life or start a new one in HIM
