Why did Jesus condemn the wealthy and not homosexuals?

Question

Why did Jesus say NOTHING about homosexuality, but said dozens and dozens of quotes against the wealthy, yet cons claim that Jesus would support their pro-hate agenda?

TO realistic people, Jesus was even more far left than Hillary!

He also said to sell your possessions and give the proceeds to the poor.

Try cramming a camel through the eye of a needle. Its not possible. That was a condemnation.

If oyu think Christ is anti-gay, please give me a quote

Romans was written by Paul and didnt contain quotes by Jesus.

TRY AGAIN PLEASE!

The Bible also condemns eating shellfish, getting a haircut, men trimming their beards and touching anything a menstruating woman has touched. WHy dont you take those as seriously as your hatred for gays?

Answer 1

Jesus was all about love, Conservatives who say things like that aren't real Christians and probably don't understand what being a Christian is all about. It's too easy to use the bible to forward your agenda. People have been doing it for thousands of years.

Answer 2

The question is as provocative as the regrettable nom de keyboard of the asker.

A lot of folks equate "Christian" with "conservative," so it's nice to see Crusinator01 displaying another side of Christianity.

Justgoodfolk provides a thought-provoking link. I would want the linguistic analysis confirmed by a second, objective party - and I will do so.

Rereugged's first paragraph is not quite accurate. When Jesus lost his temper and assaulted the money-changers in the Temple, I would not want to have been his defense attorney if the charge had been condemnation. Rererugged might also check out the "Woe unto"s in the gospels.

Alas for NEOBillyfree: Romans is about what Paul thinks, not about the life of Jesus.

Locutus assumes he knows why it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha -- but offers no textual support for his personal hypothesis. (There is the pre-Jesus quote from Judges about "fornication," but fornication is hardly same-sex specific.)

As for the asker of the question:
1) There is simply no evidence that Jesus was anything other than apolitical. His call was a personal one. Folks who claim to be Christians and attempt to forge his endorsement of their own political persuasions are using him, not following him.
2) The analogy of the camel passing through the eye of a needle was not a condemnation. It was a rhetorical device used to point out the difficulty (the challenge, as we say these days) of being rich and winning eternal salvation.

Answer 3

Wrong again. Jesus did not condemn anyone. He warned the wealthy that it would be "easier for a camel to fit through the eye of a needle than it would be for a rich man to gain the kingdom of heaven." Jesus was apolitical. He preached love for all.
Anyone who tries to use the name of Jesus to promote liberalism and homosexuality is a blasphemer. Remember ours is a vengeful God.

Answer 4

Jesus affirmed a gay couple.
The Greek word that the Roman centurion uses in this passage to describe the sick man – pais – is the same word used in ancient Greek to refer to a same-gender partner. This story is recorded in Matthew 8:5-13 and Luke 7:1-10.

Jeus was,is and should be above politics but we shouldn't let the regressive right claim Him as one of them because that doesn't make sense at all
Matthew 19:23-26
23 Then Jesus said to his disciples, "I tell you the truth, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.
24 Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God."
25 When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astonished and asked, "Who then can be saved?"
Luke 12:15
15 Then he said to them, "Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; a man's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions."
Matthew 19:21
21 Jesus answered, "If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven.

Answer 5

to start with, Jesus does not condemn. rather, he tells that u'r doing a wrong thing and trys 2 correct you. its left 4 u 2 decide if ur accepting corrections 4 ur mistakes. again, y shld there b homos? its no where in my bible that men r allowed 2 marry men or even women marrying women. it sounds so disgusting(not that i'm condemning them). its said in the bible that God created every1 with a partner ryt 4rm d 1st man, adam. So, its not pleasant in the sight of God 2 see 2 pple of the same sex 2geda, worse of all, getting married. I believe Jesus came 2 d world 2 save and draw pple closer to him and not to condemn.
