"...homosexuality is “so nasty and disgusting that it makes God want to vomit.”"

Well sure, in the context that ALL sin is abhorent to God - there are no "little sins" or "big sins", there are only sins, some of which, as in homosexuality, like any sexual sin, cuts deeper into a person's soul - not that it is any worse, but the resulting bondage is greater (no pun intended).

And it is actually luke-warm fence-sitters (from the book of Revelation) that really make God want to vomit.

To: Psalm 73

“...there are no “little sins” or “big sins”, there are only sins...”

I am no theologian, so the following is based on what I call “wiki knowledge” which is to say, a poor excuse for knowlege. But, from Mark, Chap 3.......

“But whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven, but is guilty of an eternal sin.”

Now, there is a lot of disagreement on what it means to blaspheme against the Holy Spirit, but one definition is...

“...the deliberate labeling of good as evil...” which I believe is similar to the Catholic concept of impenitence.

My take on this is that while the act of homosexuality itself is simply another sin, the attempt to persuade society that it is not a sin, and that those who are, quite naturally, disgusted by these acts are the ones who are evil, is an “unpardonable sin.”

But then I don’t presume to speak for the Lord.

All sin is abhorent but there are catagories of sin. There are mortal sins (big sins) and venial sins (little sins) and there is the “unforgiveable” sin against the Holy Spirit. Not only does unrepentent homosexuality make God want to vomit so does abortion.
