What Does the Bible Say, Not Say, and What Does Jesus Say About Innate, Biological, (Born), Scientifically Proven, Same-Sex Attraction?

A message to Believers…..

There comes a point in every believer’s walk where discernment must evolve. It’s not enough to simply read scripture—we must rightly divide it. We have to understand the difference between what the Bible says, what the Bible doesn’t say, and what Jesus Christ actually says. And when it comes to one of the most weaponized topics in the Church—innate, biological, (born), scientifically proven, same-sex attraction—that kind of clarity isn’t optional. It’s essential. Because God is not the author of confusion, but many pulpits are. So today, we dismantle the confusion.

1. What the Bible Does Say (Prophets, Apostles, Divine Inspiration)

Let’s be absolutely clear: the Bible never once condemns a person for having innate, biological, (born), scientifically proven, same-sex attraction.

What the Bible speaks against—clearly and repeatedly—is behavior: specific acts of sexual immorality, whether heterosexual or homosexual, that are chosen, defiant, and unrepentant. The most-cited passages like Leviticus 18:22, Romans 1, and 1 Corinthians 6:9 are not addressing inner orientation—they address outward behavior, and even then, often in contexts of idolatry, lust, or coercion (not loving relationship).

And when we get to the Greek, as I’ve already broken down in my work with malakoi and arsenokoitai, it becomes clearer—those are not slam-dunk condemnations of innate, biological, (born), scientifically proven, same-sex attraction. They are complex, debated terms more tied to exploitation and temple prostitution than consensual same-gender love. The prophets, the apostles, and the early Church never once issued a warning against someone simply being born with innate, biological, (born), scientifically proven, same-sex attraction.

In fact, when Paul discusses the body in 2 Corinthians 12:7-10, he describes a “thorn in the flesh”—an unremovable affliction—and God says, “My grace is sufficient for you.” Not all burdens are sin. Some are simply part of our human weakness—through which Christ’s strength is revealed.

2. What the Bible Doesn’t Say

Now let’s talk about what isn’t there.

The Bible never says, “It is a sin to be born with innate, biological, (born), scientifically proven, same-sex attraction.”

The Bible never calls orientation a moral failing.

The Bible never puts a person’s biological wiring on trial.

The Bible never includes innate, biological, (born), scientifically proven, same-sex attraction in its lists of abominations, unless you import modern ideas back into ancient texts.

This silence matters. Because when God wants to name a sin, He names it. Bluntly. Publicly. Consistently.

We get explicit condemnations of adultery, greed, violence, deceit, pride, and injustice—repeatedly and without ambiguity.

But there is no condemnation of innate, biological, (born), scientifically proven, same-sex attraction itself. That silence is not accidental. It’s revelatory. And to force that silence to speak something it doesn’t is adding to the Word of God (Deuteronomy 4:2, Revelation 22:18). That’s spiritual perjury.

3. What Does Jesus Christ Say?

This is the final authority. The Word made flesh.

Nowhere in the gospels—nowhere—does Jesus Christ condemn, mention, or even allude to innate, biological, (born), scientifically proven, same-sex attraction.

In fact, Jesus is shockingly silent on any same-gender dynamic. And that’s huge. Because He did speak out against sexual sin—adultery, lust, divorce-for-convenience—but never innate, biological, (born), scientifically proven, same-sex attraction. Why? Because behavior was the issue. Heart motive was the issue. Hypocrisy was the issue.

Even when Christ addresses eunuchs in Matthew 19:12 (some of whom were what we might call today “non-heteronormative” or sexually different), He speaks with honor:

“There are eunuchs who were born that way…and there are eunuchs who made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. Let anyone accept this who can.”

He never uses them as a symbol of sin. He uplifts their dignity.

When Jesus meets people in sexual sin (John 8, the woman caught in adultery), He doesn’t stone them. He protects them. And says, “Go and sin no more”—not be who you’re not, but stop choosing self-destruction.

He is clear: the sick are the ones He came to heal (Mark 2:17). And if sin is a sickness, not a personality trait, then He heals it. He doesn’t shame the infected—He dies for them. And calls everybody, straight or gay, into newness of life.

Conclusion: The Tri-Lens of Truth

When we view the question of innate, biological, (born), scientifically proven, same-sex attraction through all three filters:

What the Bible says: it speaks against destructive behaviors, not identities.

What the Bible doesn’t say: it never condemns orientation or inner desire.

What Jesus says: He says nothing against orientation—but everything about mercy, truth, healing, and heart transformation.

So here’s the revelation:

God does not condemn the who—He addresses the what, and always in love.

The Church has condemned the who, because it never took the time to rightly divide the what.

The truth is this: if you’re condemning someone for how they were born—without one explicit word from Christ, one clear judgment from the Father, or one inspired warning from scripture—you’re not preaching the gospel. You’re enforcing your bias. Innate, biological, (born), scientifically proven, same-sex attraction is not a sin. Misrepresenting God’s Word to condemn it is. It’s time to silence the noise, expose the distortion, and let the Word speak for itself—because when it does, grace, truth, and justice all agree: Jesus never condemned what religion invented
