I think you're right about everybody having innate morally flawed tendencies. Most Christian Churches in fact teach this (if they are aware of Original Sin and its consequences) -- and yet so we don't think hard enough about the implications of this.

With regard to homosexuals, it doesn't mean they have an inborn tendency to sin, "unlike us". It means they have an inborn tendency to sin, just like the rest of us.

We need Jesus.

[Still Thinking]

Exactly. A person with homosexual tendencies who understands the practice to be abhorrent to God, and does their best to live accordingly, is no less acceptable to Him than any of the rest of us trying to follow Jesus’ footsteps as closely as we’re able despite whatever OUR imperfections are. And yes, it illuminates in great detail, how much we ALL need the ransom.
