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.

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.

This author paraphrases some unknown, unreferenced scriptures. I believe the Bible over some paraphrased unreferenced Scripture. Let me read and check out the preprocessed material and make my own mind up!

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

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.

John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

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.

Jesus didn't directly address homosexuality because it was not not nearly as practiced in the Jewish community as it was in the pagan cultures. Most of Jesus' teaching was directed at Jews.

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.

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.

Both the Old Testament and the New address homosexuality and lesbianism in no uncertain terms. The Bible is the inspired word of God, and Jesus Christ is God in the flesh. He cannot and would not disagree with His own Word. The fact that He did not specifically speak to homosexuality in His incarnated time on earth is irrelevant.

Jesus VERY clearly addressed marriage… in Matthew 19. Especially verses 4-6: “And He answered and said to them, “Have you not read that He who made them at the beginning ‘made them MALE and FEMALE, (5) and said, ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’? (6) So then, they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate.”

He also implies one man, one woman… distancing Him from the polygamy of the patriarchs and kings (Abraham, David, Solomon, etc.)

Read the entire chapter… marriage other than male and female is not even on Jesus’ “radar”. Though I’m sure He knew one day Old Devil would use it to divide… even His followers. I look to the woman caught in adultery (John 8), also a capital offense in Jesus’ day… had that been a homosexual I feel sure my Savior would say: “Neither do I condemn you… go now and SIN NO MORE!”

Just like “non-fat butter”, there’s no such thing as “same sex marriage”.

Even if Jesus HAD nothing to say about homosexuality, Paul did. And Paul was an inspired apostle from God.

Jesus is the word of God in the flesh and the law come to life. In Jude 7 it states “strange flesh”, it stands to reason since marriage is between one man and one woman, strange flesh stands for male or female.

Jude 6-11

6] And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.
[7] Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.
[8] Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities.
[9] Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.
[10] But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves.
[11] Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core.

Daniel Akin is president of Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary in Wake Forest, N.C.

Daniel seems confused.

He posits that Yah'shua(Jesus)
is not one(echad) with YHvH.

He serves some unknown god.

There never would have been any opportunity for Jesus to address “same ‘sex’ marriage,” since in his time the candidates would have been stoned to death in a roadside ditch.
