I don't mean this as blasphemy, especially since I view homosexuals and heterosexuals as equal. So gay is not an insult in my mind.
Couldn't "There is nothing from without a man, that entering into him can defile him..." be interpreted to also include homosexual acts?
Jesus himself never said anything opposing homosexuality.

'that a man is not to lay with another man' - yeah, right by the bit about wearing fringes on your clothes... Unless you're a Jew, you're not following the Old Testament properly anyway... And Paul may've said homosexuality was wrong but he also thought Christ would come again in his lifetime... He's been wrong before...

'do you think adam and steve were the first on earth. nooooooo!!!!!!!' lol well that's a stupid argument... I'm not saying you need a man and a man to REPRODUCE, homosexuality clearly wouldn't work for the whole 'go forth and multiply' thing but by Jesus' time, that wasn't necessary for everyone, the world didn't need populating by EVERYONE

Are you one of those closeted Christian homosexuals who believes that if Jesus were gay or that there is a possibility that he was, you would not have to feel guilty any more? If that's the case you need to stop. Jesus was not gay. Yes it is true he never said that it was repulsive and wrong either, but that doesn’t mean that he was a homosexual. Also, if you are a closeted Christian homosexual you have nothing to be ashamed of...homosexuality is natural.

Homosexual behavior is against God's will and design for sex and marriage. He designed sex to be between a man and a woman within marriage. So, homosexuality is sinful bc it goes against this. I don't recall where the verse you quote is located, so I can't give specific comments, but I know Paul spoke against sexual immorality which would include homosexuality.
You're right, Jesus never spoke about homosexuality, He also never spoke about murder and numerous other things that are sinful. Jesus spoke on topics that needed clarification, since He didn't see it necessary to clarify laws about acts that were already understood to be sinful, He didn't say anything about homosexuality.
As I think about it, I think the verse about nothing being able to defile you from the outside was regarding Paul speaking about eating foods considered to be unclean, and so has nothing to do with homosexuality.

No and the Bible does say that a man is not to lay with another man then proceeds right on down the list to the point of saying that sex outside of marriage between a man and a women is sin.
