Where on the bible does it say Jesus hated homosexuals?

Question

Seems to me that people miss the point. Homosexuality is a sin, like any other sin. Every sinner is condemned. So why not allow Gay Marriage? Oh yeah, and Jesus never said he hated homosexuals, so why should you. Unless you're the son of Satan, in which still I ask, why?

Answer 1

You're right that people shouldn't hate homosexuals. We shouldn't hate anyone. Christ didn't and we should be like him as much as we can. I believe that Satan is the one trying to destroy the famlily unit, example: people wanting to allow gay marriage. I do believe that goes against the law of God and that marriage between a man and woman is the only right way. Does that mean i hate gay people? No. Do I agree with the way they live their life? No.

Answer 2

The Bible doesn't say that Jesus hated homosexuals. It does say that God destroyed the city of Soddam and Gimorrah because of this unnatural and evil attraction. All kinds of justification does not change what God says. He says it's a sin and it's a sin. God also said that Marriage between a man and a woman is ordained by him. He never said it the other way around. It is not political like Gay people make it. It is in the fiber of humanity. Gay Marriage should never be allowed.

Answer 3

God instituted marriage between man and woman. God does not change his mind. Now I have no problem with you homosexuals, but when you go stepping on Gods toes, then I have a problem. Marriage is not for you! God decided who marriage was for. The sin of being homosexual will be forgiven. You're missing the point! It is not mankind that can make that decision. Only God, and he aready made it. Do you think that if this country changed the laws, and allowed homosexuals to marry, that you would be married in God's eyes? Absolutely not! He would never honor your marriage.

Answer 4

It doesn't say anywhere that Jesus hated homosexuals. Indeed, He doesn't say anything about homosexuality at all. As I recall, all of the places in the New Testament that speak of the matter plainly are in the letters of Paul (Romans 1:26-27; I Corinthians 6:9-10) And this is the same guy who wrote that 'There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus' (Romans 8:1) and 'If anyone is in Christ, s/he is a new creation. The old things passed away; behold, new things have come!' (2 Corinthians 5:17)

That having been said, some time ago, a friend asked me what the Bible teaches about how we should conduct our personal lives (another matter that when she heard the answer, she promptly went and ignored it…)

It’s very interesting, because there is no actual verse that says ‘Thou shalt not go all the way with anyone except thy spouse’. But all through the Old Testament, there are sprinkled verses that cover basically all the possibilities: your spouse, someone else’s spouse, someone else’s fiancée, a situation where the girl isn’t married (polygamy was permitted back then), a close relative, an MSS, a prostitute, even an animal!

And as it turns out, only in the case of the spouse is it unequivocally permitted. In the case where she isn’t married, he’s supposed to marry her, or at least pay the bride price for her, and he can’t divorce her because he has dishonored her. All the other cases are *capital offenses* in the Old Testament. So we take all the examples and draw the conclusion that God wants us to have sex only with our spouse.

Now, the New Testament comes at the issue from a different angle. Yes, there is a bit of an echo of the Old Testament thinking, in that a certain connection is drawn between homosexuality and idolatry. I am not going to discuss these verses in detail because it is not *absolutely clear* whether the problem is just with homosexuality which is associated with pagan religious practices (e.g. temple prostitution), or whether homosexuality is in some way by nature idolatrous.

But in general, it firstly considers the nature of marriage, and then draws conclusions about our behavior from that. Now, a ‘definition of marriage’ appears in only one place in the New Testament. There, Jesus is discussing divorce. And basically, He says that the OT allowed divorce on account of the hardness of human hearts, and comes down on the side of being idealistic—that we shouldn’t do that because ‘God didn’t intend things that way from the beginning.’

Now, He also does deal with the question that certain of His hearers no doubt were asking, namely, ‘OK, that’s very nice except I’m already divorced. What do I do now?’ And basically, He says that unless the relationship has been destroyed by adultery, we should not divorce, or at very least if we do, we shouldn’t remarry.

Now, what about the gender of the parties concerned? I think it would be legitimate to interpret the passage as saying that here too, we should be idealistic—that Jesus would say to marry an MOS. And I think that even most people who are attracted exclusively to MSS would agree with that—that this is the ideal.

Now of course I can hear it already now: ‘But the world isn’t ideal. What happens if I am only attracted to MSS?’ And I can see why they’d say that then one should marry an MSS and fulfill all the other requirements of leaving, cleaving and weaving. I see two problems with this, however:

1)It assumes that the situation is irreversible. And it isn’t necessarily. There are thousands of people who’ve changed, I even know some of them personally myself.

2)It really is possible to live happily as a single. I mean, we only need to be attracted to that one special person, and if they haven’t come along yet, then the ability to be attracted isn’t needed. And besides, some people are just called to remain single.

Now, of course, to live happily as a single, you have to really believe it’s the best thing. It’s got to tie in to your deepest values, arise out of your relationship with God.

But at the same time, I don’t think it’s an accident that we all come into this world single, and we all remain so for a time. The longer I live, the more I come to believe that we need to learn to be content with being single, so that when that special person comes along, we know we’re getting with them not because we ‘need’ them (i.e.. out of lust), but out of love.

The bottom line: it is not indifferent to God what we do with our bodies and our personal lives.

I have described what the Bible teaches here, because that is what I am most familiar with. But I have also read the Qur’an, and teachings of other religions, and they all teach pretty much the same thing. And I don’t think this is an accident either; people look at what has been made and draw conclusions from it.

So this is why I think that while we should not hate homosexuals or condemn them, neither should we be marrying members of the same sex.

Answer 5

Of course Jesus didnt hate homosexuals. But where in the bible does it say Jesus approves of homosexuals? It doesnt, and He didn't.

People often get the misconception that disaproval equals hatred, or fear. Just because someone disaproves of something doesnt mean the person hates or fears it.

I dont like to eat salad, but I dont hate or fear it.

Homosexuals and their supports should stop trying to condemn those that disagree with their "chosen" lifestyle. Don't call us names because we fail to embrace your sexual desires and your activism. We are not "Bigots", we just disagree.

Back to Jesus, there are several passages in the Bible that condemn homosexuality. Since the Bible is all about God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit, I would have to say the bible is clear about what Jesus thought of homosexuals. No, he didnt hate them. He also didnt hate murderers, rapist, perverts, or the human scum of the earth. He did not even hate the people that killed him. Jesus was not a hater. But that doesnt mean he embraced any of that stuff, even homosexuality.

Answer 6

Homosexuality is a sin, commandment #12 just before Thou shalt not read the bible and attempt to put it in a historical context, but before #13 which states that alcohol is bad mm-kay.

Most sections on homosexuality aren't actually about homosexuality, but rather about hospitality laws. Why ignore the hospitality laws, but bash homosexuals?

Answer 7

Its a sin. We as Christians are not supposed to deliberately sin. What the Unsaved do we have no say over. Christians can not control Non-Christians - However - when they bring it in the Church we are not supposed to have anything to do with those who commit sexual sins.

Homosexuals can come to church and listen but they can not be a pastor or in any leadership position. When they are saved from sin, how ridiculous it is for them to willfully continue in the sin they were saved from. For then anyone (not just homosexuals) who continues to willfully sin there is nothing left for them but a fearful expectation.

Churches also should not be sponsoring nor aiding in the marriage ceremonies that assist in the sinful acts such as gay marriage or marriage of those not properly divorced and so on. Gays always have their own gay ministers or Mayors who can conduct such ceremonies.

Jesus does not hate gays - he hates the sin. This does not mean he approves of the sinful act and any Christian who condones and approves of such unions is taking part and aiding in this terrible sin.

Anyone who sins sins outside the body - but he who commits a sexual sin, sins against the body. In other words a sexual sin goes deep into the core of a person.., and sins against the Temple of God whom the Holy Spirit dwells in.., if such a person names Christ as savior.

Answer 8

Nowhere in the Bible does it say Jesus hated homosexuals or anyone else. The Bible does say, however, that God hates the sin of homosexuality,as well as those of adultery, lying, stealing, murder, unjust anger, etc.
The Bible, as God's Word, also says that God is holy and cannot accept sin. That's why God the Father sent Jesus, His son, to become one of us, live sinlessly and die to pay our sin debt. By our faith in Christ as Savior and repentance of our sins, we can receive spiritual cleansing and new life.
In summary, Jesus doesn't hate sinners, He hates the sins they commit and wants to give them new and abundant life.

Many who support same-sex marriage and gay rights argue that, since Jesus never mentioned homosexuality, He did not consider it to be sinful. After all, the argument goes, if homosexuality is bad, why did Jesus treat it as a non-issue?

It is technically true that Jesus did not specifically address homosexuality in the Gospel accounts; however, He did speak clearly about sexuality in general. Concerning marriage, Jesus stated, “At the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female,’ and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh[.]’ So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate” (Matthew 19:4–6). Here Jesus clearly referred to Adam and Eve and affirmed God’s intended design for marriage and sexuality.

For those who follow Jesus, sexual practices are limited. Rather than take a permissive view of sexual immorality and divorce, Jesus affirmed that people are either to be single and celibate or married and faithful to one spouse of the opposite gender. Jesus considered any other expression of sexuality sinful. This would include same-sex activity.

Also, are we to believe that any and every action is good unless Jesus specifically forbade it? The goal of the Gospels was not to give us a comprehensive list of sinful activities, and there are many obvious sins that are not found in the “red letter” section of the Bible. Kidnapping, for example. Jesus never specifically said that kidnapping was a sin, yet we know that stealing children is wrong. The point is that Jesus did not need to itemize sin, especially when the further revelation contained in the Epistles removes all doubt as to homosexuality’s sinfulness.

Scripture is clear that believers are to have nothing to do with sexual immorality: “Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a person commits are outside the body, but whoever sins sexually, sins against their own body” (1 Corinthians 6:18). Sexual immorality, whether same-sex activity or otherwise, is a sin against a person’s own body.

It is important to note that sexual immorality, including same-sex activity, is listed alongside other sins in Scripture, indicating that God does not rank one sin as worse than another. While the consequences of some sins are greater than others, Scripture often simply lists sins side by side. For example, Jesus said, “Out of the heart come evil thoughts—murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, slander” (Matthew 15:19–20; see also Romans 1:24–31).

The Bible teaches that followers of Jesus are to practice sexual purity, and that includes abstaining from same-sex activity. In addition, unbelievers who practice homosexuality stand in need of salvation just like any other unbeliever. Christians are called to pray for those who do not know Christ, to serve others in love, and to share the message of Jesus with all people, including those involved in homosexuality.
