What is the exact Bible verse where Christ says homosexuality is wrong?

Question

By Christ I mean a verse in the Bible that generally would appear in red print indicating that is the words of Christ. Nothing from the Old Testament. That is not valid since Christs return negated the laws of the Old Testament which were in place for people to secure a place in heaven. So the OT won't cut it.

I'd really appreciate it if someone could give me the verse

That is not true about the OT. The laws that were meant to be carried over from the OT to the NT were expressly mentioned by Christ.

Answer 1

There isn't one. Christians who oppose homosexuality just need someone else to hate, so to take attention off their own behavior problems.

Answer 2

Romans , chapter 1, verses 21-27 certainly spells it out. Jude verse 7 addresses this as well, as does 1 Corinthians 6:9. In the Old Testament; Leviticus 18:22, and 20:13.

Answer 3

I looked up some of the given answers in the bible and:
Leviticus is in the OT
Romans is in the NT but that passage isn't written in red.
I don't know if this will help you or not, but my own personal philosophy on the bible is that because it was physically written by man, even if they were translating what they honestly believed God was telling them, things get lost in translation. Men, and women, tend to interpret things in a light to fit their own beliefs. To prove this point, just look at how many christian religions are based on the same book and yet they can't agree on what it says. The bible can be useful but you really should rely more one what you get out of your personal relationship with God. I don't know if homosexuality is wrong or not, I'm leaning toward not. What I do believe, though, is that if we would learn to love our neighbors as ourselves (yep, that is right out of the bible, Matthew 22:39 from the NT and written in red :-) that this world would be a better place to live in regardless of whether we all agreed on religious views.

Answer 4

Jesus condemns fornication when talking about how and when one can divorce.Homosexuality is fornication,sex between two unmarried people.As far as the New Testament goes ,Jesus was a follower of the Law of Moses.He was the only one to keep it perfectly and to bring it around to it's true meanings before men put their spin on it.."You have heard it said(the man made spin) but truly I tell you..(the correct interpretation)."
Paul says in Romans 1:26,27 " Their women exchanged natural intercourse for unnatural.And the same with men,they were consumed with passion one for another.Men committing shameless acts with men and received in their own persons the due penalty of their errors."
Various V.D's etc.
Sorry friend but it is what it is.I wish I could say "Tell me where Jesus in red letters condemns drinking Heineken Beer" The fact that the Bible condemns drunkenness is enough.
You're trying to be too fine with a book that covers general behavior.
It won't work.The Bible condemns Homosexuality in both the Old and New in several places.Not just one.Once is enough ,but when God says it more than once ....pay attention.

Answer 5

First, part of your thesis is wrong. Christ specifically states that he does not negate the OT Law. "Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets. I have not come to abolish these things but to fulfill them. I tell you the truth, until heaven and eart pass away not the smallest letter or stroke of a letter will pass from the law until everything takes place. So anyone who breaks one of the least of these commands and teaches others to do so will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever obeys them and teaches others to do so will be called great in the kingdom of heaven." (Matthew 5:17-19)

So, the original law stands: "You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination." (Leviticus 18:22)

In the New Testament, the strongest injunction against homosexuality is in the first letter of Paul to the church at Corinth: "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, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God." (I Corinthians 6:9)

Jesus did not specifically (at least, in the gospel records we have) forbid homosexuality, but neither did he forbid stealing...do you deny that is wrong? Both are part of the Law of Moses, of which Jesus affirmed the validity.

Answer 6

Matt. 19:6 - after referring to God's divine plan for man and woman, Jesus says a husband and wife become one flesh, which ultimately reflects God's union with humanity through the Church. Homosexual unions pervert this divine truth of God’s love for and union with the human race.

Rom. 1:26 - also, when a woman lies with another women (lesbianism), this is unnatural and a perversion. God wants His children to be pure and holy as He is holy. Paul condemns all homosexual acts, whether committed by men or women.

Rom. 1:27 – Paul calls the practise of homosexuality shameless, unnatural and a perversity. It is contrary to the natural law, as it eviscerates the life-giving aspect of human sexuality and reduces it to a selfish, pleasure-seeking end.

The Bible is Gods Word and that Word is Jesus. When the Holy Spirit is Present it is in fact Christ speaking.
Much of the teachings of Christ not found in the Bible are found in the teaching office( The Magistarium of the Catholic Church) Handed down from the Apostles and to the Bishops in union with the Pope. This teaching office is Guaranteed the gift of infallibility by the Holy Spirit( Christ Himself)

Answer 7

What does the Bible say about homosexuality?

Rom. 1:24-27: “God, in keeping with the desires of their hearts, gave them up to uncleanness, that their bodies might be dishonored among them . . . 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.”

1 Tim. 1:9-11: “Law is promulgated, not for a righteous man, but for persons lawless and unruly, ungodly and sinners, . . . fornicators, men who lie with males, . . . and whatever other thing is in opposition to the healthful teaching according to the glorious good news of the happy God.” (Compare Leviticus 20:13.)

Jude 7: “Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities about them, after they . . . [had] gone out after flesh for unnatural use, are placed before us as a warning example by undergoing the judicial punishment of everlasting fire.” (The name Sodom has become the basis for the word “sodomy,” which usually designates a homosexual practice. Compare Genesis 19:4, 5, 24, 25.)

Answer 8

There are a lot of things in the Bible that Jesus did not and would not have approved of. We have his gay buddy Paul to thank for much of it. Here is one:

Corinthians 6:9-10: "Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God."

Why are you only concerned with the New Testament? If you buy a "How to" book, don't you want the first half to be as accurate as the second... especially with regards to a how to live your life book? If this book truly is God's word, don't you think "he" would have checked it for truthfulness and accuracy?

Answer 9

The following passage spoken by Him, quoting Genesis 2, clearly speaks of marriage as being an institution for a man and a woman.

Matthew 19
4"Haven't you read," he replied, "that at the beginning the Creator 'made them male and female,' 5and 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'? 6So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate."

Answer 10

JEsus himself never spoke of the precise sins, but in the new testament starting in romans (by His apostles who were inspired by the Holy Spirit) there are many verses so here are some:

Read from Romans chapter, verse 24, till this one
-Rom 1:27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust toward one another; males with males working out shamefulness, and receiving in themselves the recompense which was fitting for their error.

-1Corinthians 6:9 Do you not know that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor abusers, nor homosexuals,
1Co 6:10 nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

-1Timothy 1:9 knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous one, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,
1Ti 1:10 for fornicators, for homosexuals, for slave-traders, for liars, for perjurers, and anything else that is contrary to sound doctrine,

Jude 1:7 as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them, in like manner to these, committing fornication, and going away after other flesh, laid down an example before-times, undergoing vengeance of everlasting fire.

But Jesus IS THE WORD so any word written IS JESUS = truth! (read John chapter 1)

Now we (born again christians) may not be under the law, but we are to practice it as Jesus practiced it for our justice must be greater than the ones of the world.

I hope it answers your question.

Answer 11

The entire Bible is God breathed not just the word of Christ which appear in red.

Why do you insist that all points of theology be listed in the form you want it.

Why isn't it enough that you accept the teaching from the Bible as God decided to tell us?

I'll give you 2 references from the New Testament.

But you'll have to read two whole chapters, I won't give you a verse.

Romans chapter one and First Corinthians chapter six.
