What did Jesus say about nude lesbian jello wrestling?
What is the point in specifically restricting an "authoritative" voice to Jesus' words only, when in other parts of Scripture there is no ambiguity on this issue?
Among St. Paul's writings, Romans 1:24-28, 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 and 1 Timothy 1:8-11 make the issue clear enough. They, too, are part of sacred Scripture. They, too, are the word of God. Indeed, they are the word of the Word, Jesus Himself.
To ignore the obvious in St. Paul's writings and claim that, because Jesus doesn't specifically get into issues involving homosexuality in the Gospels, it therefore must be okay, is a ridiculous stance to take. The New Testament is a unified whole, all parts are equally inspired. Advocates of a "Jesus never condemned it" interpretation of Scripture are merely heaping coals on their own heads.
