does the new testament saw anything about homosexuality?

Here is what Jesus said about God's plan for human sexuality.

Matthew 19:4 He answered, "Have you not read that he who created them from the beginning made them male and female, 5 and said, 'Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh'? 6 So they are no longer two but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate."

Here's what Paul wrote about a list of sins that if they characterize a person's lifestyle they cannot expect to inherit the Kingdom of God along with the acknowledgement that when a person turns to Jesus they can be cleansed from these past sinful lifestyles.

1 Corinthians 6:9 Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, 10 nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And such WERE some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.

In addition the New Testatment uses Sodom in warnings about unrighteous behavior 7 times in the New Testatment:

Matthew 10:15
Matthew 11:23
Luke 10:12
Luke 17:29
Romans 9:29
2 Peter 2:6
Jude 1:7

Romans 1:26-27; 1 Corinthians 6:9). Romans 1:26-27 teaches specifically that homosexuality is a result of denying and disobeying God. When a person continues in sin and disbelief, the Bible tells us that God “gives them over” to even more wicked and depraved sin in order to show them the futility and hopelessness of life apart from God. 1 Corinthians 6:9 proclaims that homosexual “offenders” will not inherit the kingdom of God.

Homosexuality is not an alternative life-style acceptable to God. Frequently, both gay and liberal preachers twist the scriptures in futile endeavors to make it seem that it is. (2 Peter 3:16) Thousands of years ago Jehovah destroyed Sodom because most of the males of that city practiced it. Centuries later the apostle Peter likened men who copied those Sodomites to “unreasoning animals born naturally to be caught and destroyed.” .

In unmistakable language, both male homosexuality and lesbianism are condemned by the inspired apostle Paul: “God gave them up to disgraceful sexual appetites, for both their females changed the natural use of themselves into one contrary to nature; and likewise even the males left the natural use of the female and became violently inflamed in their lust toward one another, males with males, working what is obscene and receiving in themselves the full recompense, which was due for their error.” Romans 1:26, 27.

Paul specifically mentioned those who evidently take on a passive sexual role and those who assume a more active “male” role in their immoral relations. Thus he made it plain that God disapproves of all homosexual acts.

Paul is saying that anyone that is "homosexual, or & adulterers, nor effeminate "having unsuitable feminine qualities" nor abusers" so he is not just referring to homosexuals but to all above, these cannot be approved of God or receive any blessings from the Kingdom that Jesus talked about when he was on the earth.

Would it be just or loving to condemn a person for doing something that you yourself planned for him to be?

The book of Romans sure does...Ch1:26-27
Read the whole thing in context, with some good footnotes/application to really understand.
It also does in a number of other places....but again, you have to understand it in context.

To people who say "Well, that's not Jesus talking, it's Paul" well, every word of the Bible is divinely inspired, and you're not allowed to just pick-and-choose, or it's not really a Holy Book, is it?
II Timothy 16 tells us "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work."
That means ALL scripture, even the parts that are hard for us to accept.

However, you can also learn IN CONTEXT, that men having sex with other men is no worse a sin than failing to love your neighbor as yourself; anal sex between men is no greater a sin than slandering a fellow human being, purposefully hurting others with your words and actions is equally sinful.
Sorry....had to say that to my fellow travelers here in R&S.

Jesus said we should love one another, and do good to one another. The disciple Jesus loved who laid his head on Jesus' bosom.

And in that night there shall be two men in one bed, one shall be taken and the other left.

There shall be two women grinding together in the field, one shall be taken and the other left.

Peter, John and others went fishing, and John said to Peter, It is the Lord, and Peter cast himself into the sea, ( for he was naked )

When the unclean spirit goes out of a man ( dies ), ( Story of Lazarus and the Rich man ) it wanders in dry places ( as in the Wilderness of Sinai). looking for Rest ( 1st Harvest, Tribulation) ) finding none he says I will return to my house from which I came out of ( dead body ), but he must take seven spirits more wicked then him. ( Schizophrenic, Psychotic, and Autism ), but when they come he finds that his house ( dead body )

has been emptied, ( emptied of knowledge, except subconscious traits of a past life, such as being a girl in a past life, and carrying over this trait to your current life, but now you are a boy, with the subconsios traits of a girl. ),

swept ( new body, a new born baby, no new wine in old bottles Spirits enter the baby's body after the sex has been assigned , it is a 50/50 chance that a boys' spirit will enter into a girls' body, and visia versa )

and garnished ( made male or female ) and enter they, and dwell therein. ( the baby's body ) The last sate of the man ( female or male ) is worse then the first state ( his first life ).

Jesus said for us not to worry about those things that can kill the body, but about those things that kills both body and soul.
and Turn the other cheek. Jesus did not care about our bodies, Those would save their live shall lose it, and those who lose their life, for the sake of the Gospel, the same shall save it.

Jesus only cared and loved our spirits, he said it is the spirit that is quickenth, the body profits nothing.

Jesus himself said nothing bad about homosexuality, it was others that said this, Paul, Peter, Moses,...etc. their the ones who told you that God hated homosexuals. Jesus said Judge not for by the same mete you judge by will be measure out to you. Jesus said if ye love one another, ye are my disciples indeed.

It is not homosexuality that is sinful, it is unchecked "Lust" what God has joined together let no man put asunder,

God not man.

Most people would say yes. Romans and Ist Timothy. But there is nothing in the Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, John).

Romans 1:26-27 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Women exchanged natural relationships for unnatural ones. 27 In the same way the men also exchanged natural relations with women and were inflamed with their lust for one another. Men commited indecent acts with other men, and recieved in themselves the due penalty for their perversion. (NIV)
