How could anyone really know that? Besides, does anyone really think the subject of same-sex marriage was even talked about then?
Does it matter? He never addressed cannibalism as far as I know but every Christian I ever knew was aware that it’s wrong and evil.
Highly doubtful. Heck...would anyone have thought about it in 1950?
John 10:30...... I and the Father are one.”
That addresses it and puts a period on it.
The gospels have nothing from Jesus on beastiality. So, I guess that means it is just OK!!!!!! What a crock and what a lame argument. Same sex attempted marriage is unnatural at face value. Maybe Jesus said nothing, but I believe St. Paul had some thoughts.
Jesus (as well as the Apostle Paul) spoke about fulfilling Jewish Law.
Was not Jewish Law very specific about homosexuality?
God made it very clear in the Old Testament what He thought of homosexuality. And the Son did not come to refute the Father.
“Think not that I am come to destroy the law or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.”- Matthew 5:17
How a liberal tries to misuse religion to push their agenda:
Jesus didn’t directly address texting while driving...therefore texting while driving is ok
True
1) Incest (it goes on at great length and exquisite detail).
2) Male homosexual acts (bluntly described as an abomination).
3) Sexual acts with an animal (by either a human male or a human female).
I am unaware of any specific prohibition in the Scriptures regarding female homosexual acts.
Let’s see, God destroys Sodom and Gommorah as a result of homosexuality but now He has seen the error of his ways? The homos just want to call it “marriage” because Jesus was quite specific as to the sin of adultery, as was Paul.
Then Christ came into the world.
14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
Again: Isa 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counseller, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
Christ and God are One in the Same, yet distinct Beings. If God condemned homosexuality, then Christ condemned homosexuality. God condemned homosexuality, therefore Christ condemned homosexuality. End of discussion.
The only people who suggest otherwise are those who are desperately trying to justify their perverted, evil and godless lifestyle.
Paul, addressing Gentiles, addressed homosexuality and we all know how harshly he spoke against it (Romans).
Elsewhere we know what God thought about homosexuality as in the story about Sodom and Gomorrah. Jesus was always fully compliant with God's will so would have believed God's actions against these cities to be righteous. Lev. 18 spells out more laws about what God thinks as far as sexual practices go.
Sexual purity is God's highest and that is stated again and again throughout Scripture.
There are passages that talk about women lying down with women as if with a man, and in similar terms to male homosexual acts.
I am at work, so I don’t have my books handy. Think it is in Leviticus and know it is in Romans. Though the latter is often thrown out by the “Paul is not Christian” crowd.
Yes there is.
I think Christ made it abundantly clear about one man and one woman in Matthew 19:5...
“FOR THIS REASON A MAN SHALL LEAVE HIS FATHER AND MOTHER AND BE JOINED TO HIS WIFE, AND THE TWO SHALL BECOME ONE FLESH”
Wife... not “partner,” not “husband,” but wife. Even for liberals in their twisted perverted minds... this isn’t hard to comprehend.
Well, Paul mentions it along with male homosexuality in Romans 1 (This is from the New Living Translation for purposes of clarity):
24 So God abandoned them to do whatever shameful things their hearts desired. As a result, they did vile and degrading things with each other’s bodies.
25 They traded the truth about God for a lie. So they worshiped and served the things God created instead of the Creator himself, who is worthy of eternal praise! Amen.
26 That is why God abandoned them to their shameful desires. Even the women turned against the natural way to have sex and instead indulged in sex with each other.
27 And the men, instead of having normal sexual relations with women, burned with lust for each other. Men did shameful things with other men, and as a result of this sin, they suffered within themselves the penalty they deserved.
