" I would like all you good, kind, Christian people to show us exactly the verses where Jesus spoke of homosexuality.
I'm waiting ... "
Here goes:
"If a man lies with a male as he lies with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination." (Leviticus 20:13)
"Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived, neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God." (1 Corinthians 6:9-11)
Romans 1:18-32, I Corinthians 6:9-11, 2 Peter 2:4-10 and the whole book of Jude, paying close attention to verses 3-11. Read it out aloud so your ears can hear it. It's easy to understand. 2 Timothy 3:16 says, "All Scripture is inspired by God." Saying your god wouldn't condemn homosexuality breaks the second commandment, which says you shall not make a god of your own likeness.

No, a eunuch would today be called a "non-sexual", a person who, either for emotional or physical reasons, does not desire sex. Some people are just born that way (their genitalia are not properly developed), some loose their natural function (either by accident or surgical mishap, or worse), and some simply never seem to feel sexual desire.
A homosexual HAS sexual feelings, just for persons of their own gender. This is not the same as being a eunuch.

A eunuch is someone who is celibate by surgery (he cannot have sex). Usually a eunuch was a slave to the queen (the surgery was to reassure the king that there would be no hanky-panky). Paul expounds on this passage in 1 Cor. chapter 7.
Notice that Jesus said in Matthew 19 that God made people as male and female for a reason.

No, Eunuchs were slaves and the castration was not voluntary.
It was so they could be trusted in Harems! The second part, "made eunuchs" could be someone who just does not choose to marry and is happy to remain celibate.
Homosexuality is treated separately in the scriptures.

You are reading way too much into it, honey. The bottom line is that if you are gay or lesbian, you have to make the choice to accept yourself as god made you or try to pretend to be what other people want you to be.
Our constitution promises the right to pursue happiness. Happiness comes in different forms for different people. AS LONG AS NO ONE IS HURT IN YOUR PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS, you are living within your constitutional rights. There are religions all over America that are okay and even encourage this. Don't feel like you have to justify your behavior with the few bigots that are going to preach against your choices.
Oh, and I am not assuming you are gay or lesbian, I am just saying that you have the right to have any kind of loving relationship (as long as it is between two CONSENTING ADULTS. (emphasis added for the sake of those who do not understand the difference between living outside traditional social norms and victimizing children, women, or the elderly)

No, a eunuch is 'an emasculated male' ... i.e., one who has had his 'testicles' removed. Jesus never said ANYTHING about homosexuality ... St. Paul 'may have' but that may also be 'mistranslated' at a later date to 'imply' it was speaking about 'homosexuals' when he 'meant' other things when he 'said' or 'wrote' the words.

Luke 18:10 2 men went up into the temple to prefer; the only a Pharisee, and the different a publican. 11 The Pharisee stood and prayed subsequently with himself, God, I thank thee, that i'm not as different men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or whilst this publican. 12 I speedy two times interior the week, I supply tithes of all that I own. thirteen And the publican, status afar off, does not carry up a lot as his eyes unto heaven, yet smote upon his breast, asserting, God be merciful to me a sinner.

The bible is AGAINST Homosexuality and always has been. In the old testament during the time of Sodom and Gomorrah, they were punished for performing homosexual acts.The verses for your reference SHOULD be:
1 Cor 6:9-10
"Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters, nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God."
Leviticus 18:22
"Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind it is abomination."
Genesis 13:13: "But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the LORD exceedingly."
Leviticus 20:13: "If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them."
Romans 1:24-32:
24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was meet.
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31 Without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
How then could Jesus advocate for homosexual anything???Plus a eunuch has no sexual urge because his bodily functions that are aroused sexually are no longer at work after emasculation and therefore he cannot be equated to a homosexual. However I would just like to point out that God loves all homosexuals but yet despises homosexual acts.... the bible can't get any clearer than the verses above here....God created Adam and Eve not Adam and Steve... PERIOD!!! Therefore there were no implications of homosexuality and marriage in the bible.

though I cannot discount the possibility, most scholars will point in the direction of men who chose to remain single for spiritual reasons, like monks, for example, as a matter of discipline.
