If you don't know the answer, then you don't really know what the Bible said about homosexuality, before it was mistranslated into English in 1611.
shame on Religious leaders who want to grow their empires by propagation?
(Before you quote Paul, tell us any of his teachings that were even remotely the same as Jesus' teachings.)
PS: Did Jesus tell us that some people are born with unique "sexual" inclinations?

Wow! Caleb, do you really mean that you don't care about the real Bible, and that you are quite happy with today's bibles even if they are wrong?

Finally, someone else calls out Paul as the charlatan that he was. Why do Christians read a word he writes? He is so clearly un-Christian that it makes my eyes bleed.

If you want to talk about the teachings of Paul and the teaching of Jesus. First recall that most of Paul's letter predate any of the gospels, the only records of Jesus' teachings from the same century in which he lived.
Yet you will find that Luke in his gospel echoes the writings of Paul on at least 18 occasions, 14 of those being spoken by Jesus himself. Compare the outline for subjects address in Paul's exhortations in Ephesians, the last three chapters, with the outline of Jesus' Sermon on the Mount. They cover the same subjects.
There are no contradictions between the teachings of Jesus and the revelations of Paul, which were taught to him by Jesus.
As for the unique sexual inclination, Jesus did talk about such a group. He talked about those who were born eunuch, that is incapable of sexual relations. He then also said that there would be those who choose to be eunuch, forgoing sexual relationships in order to serve the Kingdom of God full time. That has nothing to do with homosexuality.
Oh, when I read the Bible, I forgo the 1611 translation and all the rest, and use the original Hebrew and Greek.

Did Jesus tell us that some people are born with unique "sexual" inclinations? No, he didn't. Do you mind showing me that in the Bible, any Bible. I can't help what was written before 1611, I can only go by what God has provided us for today and in that Bible, homosexuality is an abomination.
Edit: The Bible we have today is the Bible that God meant for us to have. The books that are in the Holy Bible are the books that God meant for there to be. If you are so sure that today's Bible is wrong, how do you know that the old Bible you are referring to is really correct.

Paul is very wise if u understand him, it is to bad Paul did not understand God himself with his teachings. It might have helped with his teachings, if you want to understand Paul seek God for help, You will realize how great of a christian he was. That man teaches you how to love a woman, and that only God knows the answer.
