Predilection is not a sin. Read more carefully.
The reason God's teaching gets rejected is for convenience. Sounds as though you would prefer to conclude that homosexual behavior is acceptable. As I say, this is the reason for rejection. It makes selfish decisions seem acceptable. But in the backs of our minds we know that morality is not always convenient. But we do the best we can to reduce the inconvenience as much as possible and one clever way to shake free of feelings of responsibility is to reject God or at least, reject the Bible and make up our own story about God.
jluetjen stops just short of completing his story. Jesus despised, more than any other, the Pharises. They were the religious leaders of the time who had become self-serving. they pretended to be pious but in fact were hypocrites. And worse, they were hypocrites who were spiritual leaders.
