Did Jesus say anywhere in the Gospels that homosexuality is a sin?

Question

If Jesus said this, please provide the exact chapter and verse. Don't quote Leviticus or Romans, because those are by Moses and Paul respectively, not Jesus.

I want to know if Jesus actually said that all homosexuals are going to hell.

If he didn't, then why are most Christians saying being gay is a sin? because isn't Christianity based/centered on teachings of Christ?

LOL and I'm not gay.

Answer 1

never did jesus utter those words. very good point about christians centering their teachings on christ, extremely liberal for his day and loving to no end, and yet they observe practices of exclusion. if a christian gives me a logical argument backed up by their holy gospel for their hatred of gays, i'll listen. but i have yet to hear one. i laugh when they cite leviticus---the same book that tells us menstruating women can't be touched and shellfish is an abomination. please. when we start observing all the rules of that book, maybe the argument would be relevant.

Answer 2

Are you one?

It doesn't matter where it is in the Bible, it is in there and it is sin. People need to stop trying to make excuses for being gay and saying that it is OK. It Isn't!

Wake up, if men were suppose to be with men and women with women then that is the way we would have been created.
This world is going to have alot to answer for on judgment day, ( especially those of you who say Jesus was gay and that He had a relationship with Mary Magdalen) .

The Bible consistently tells us that homosexual activity is a sin (Genesis 19:1-13; Leviticus 18:22; 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.

Seek God before it is to late, and stop making excuses.

Answer 3

There is nothing in the Gospels about homosexuality. Like you said, the only places it's mentioned is places like Leviticus and Romans. Some might say that since Jesus never said anything about it, then it's not an important issue. Others say that just because he never said anything about it doesn't mean it's not important. That there are a lot of things Jesus never talked about and we shouldn't take the lack of something said about it as being permission. Either way, we won't really know until we are gone.

Answer 4

Hello,

Jesus did not say anything about it. There are many sins mentioned in the old testament like sheep shagging or child sex that he did not mention or was quoted on either. Homosexuality, beastiality and adultery were condemned and even could be punished by death in the old testament.

In the new New Testament Paul on his missions condemns it.
In the New Testament, there are two important passages that reinforce the prohibition on homosexual acts: I Corinthians 6:9-10 and I Timothy 1:8-9. Each of these passages is a vice list: that is, a list of prohibited behaviors. In the original Greek manuscripts, each of these lists condemns a category of sinners called arsenokoitai, along with various other categories, like adulterers and thieves.

One would assume that Paul had talked to Peter and a few of the apostles and had a bigger wealth of knowledge in Jesus' points of view that were not all recorded word for word.

Answer 5

--JESUS STRONG reference to the righteous judgements on the violent people of Noahs Day & the Sodomites(lesbians, homosexuals,rapists, pedaphiles) of Sodom & Gomorrah- by his father Jehovah God, should make the point that any type of homosexuality was INDEED disgusting to him!
--Christ abhored the act not the person, that is why Christians can condemn homosexuality but not the person, that is God's final judgement!

Luke 17:26-30 (Holman Christian Bible)
"Just as it was in the days of Noah, (A) so it will be in the days of the Son of Man: 27 people went on eating, drinking, marrying and giving in marriage (B) until the day Noah boarded the ark, (C) and the flood came and destroyed them all.
**28 It will be the same as it was in the days of Lot: (D) people went on eating, drinking, buying, selling, planting, building. 29 But on the day Lot left SODOM, fire and sulfur rained from heaven and DESTROYED THEM ALL(my caps every one, young old, men women,children , none excused for the filth) 30 It (F) will be like that on the day the Son of Man is revealed."

Luke 17:29 : Gn 19:24-25;

Luke 17:30 : Mt 16:27; 24:44; 1Co 1:7; 2Th 1:7; 1Pt 1:7; 4:13;

--AS TO GOING to hell , the Bibles definition and reference to hell is simply the common grave(sheol, hades) never the less being judged directly by God in destruction means no resurrection anywhere, complete non-existence!

Answer 6

Mark 7:20-23 -- 20 He went on: "What comes out of a man is what makes him 'unclean.' 21 For from within, out of men's hearts, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, 22 greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance and folly. 23 All these evils come from inside and make a man 'unclean.' " [Also Matthew 15:19]

Now, if you want a more technical description of what is sexually immoral, you have to search other verses.

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

1 Corinthians 6:9-10 -- 9Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor [I.e. effeminate by perversion] effeminate, nor homosexuals, 10nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God.

1 Timothy 1:8-10 -- 8But we know that the Law is good, if one uses it lawfully, 9realizing the fact that law is not made for a righteous person, but for those who are lawless and rebellious, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers 10and immoral men and homosexuals and kidnappers and liars and perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to sound teaching,

Hope this helps.

***EDIT: Matthew 19:4-5 -- 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."

These are JESUS' OWN WORDS. He said the Creator made them MALE and FEMALE; a MAN will leave his father and mother and be united to his WIFE. Since there is no mention of man-man relationships (where it is approved of) here or anywhere in the Bible, I'm sure you're intelligent enough to figure out that man & wife was the only relationship that Jesus allows. If you choose to ignore all this evidence, then that's between you and God.

Answer 7

Nowhere in the New Testament is it recorded that Jesus said homosexuality is a sin. He did say, however, that He did not come into the world to condemn it, but to save it.

In the Old Testament, it is recorded as a sin. But, we are not living under the law, we are living under the grace of God. That doesn't mean we should just go out and lie, steal, kill, commit adultery, etc. It means that if we do, and we are sorry, we are forgiven. Everyone who loves Jesus Christ - EVERYONE - is no longer condemned, but has already passed from death into life. Be at peace.

Answer 8

It of course became into no longer a usually occurring subject on the time, hence no longer something God mandatory to handle. the ten commandments weren't the completed regulation. The have been categories of regulation, below which homosexuality could have been a subcategory. could fall below adultery or fornication, considering there became into no marriage between men and men or women folk and girls folk, and all intercourse exterior of marriage became into understood as sin. the ten commandments have been the hassle-free to keep in mind generalities of the regulation that would have been uncomplicated to keep in mind. Moses became into given greater particular regulations for the folk and that they may be stumbled on for the era of Genesis - Deuteronomy, Deuteronomy (which skill 2nd interpreting of the regulation) being the main focused itemizing.

Answer 9

You know he didn't say it. But he followed the laws of Moses and quoted the OT often.

With that said my view of homosexuality has changed over the years.
God loves everyone. He said if you hate -you murder in your heart. So I have been a murderer. Any sex out of marriage is a sin. Sin is defined by the 10 commandments and I've broken them all.

Is my sin any better than a homosexual? No. Am I better because I admit my sin? I'm not sure. I still sin since I have flesh. "All sin and fall short of the glory of God."

I just don't think things are a cut and dry as many hard nosed anti gay Christians feel. God wants all to come to repentance and do they really think they will bytelling them they are hell bound? No. It may lead to suicide, i've met many who are suicidal.

Jesus came to die for our sins. Even homosexuality.
God bless,

Answer 10

You have to understand that God anointed men to write the Bible. Jesus didn't write any of it although he is in it. You can't say not to quote certain scriptures because that lets me know that you already know that homosexuality is a sin. Why would those chapters be in the Bible if we're not suppose to use them? Now I will say that homosexuality is not the only sin. Lying, murder, stealing etc is all sin. So if you are not saved thru accepting Jesus as your personal savior then you will go to hell. Point blank!

Answer 11

Jesus said nothing about homosexuality at all, the only sexual topics he really covered were forgiveness for sexual transgressions.
It was others who said homosexuality was wrong, but if you're going to start throwing Leviticus around, you really ought to read the whole thing, know how many activities we do in modern everyday life that are an abomination to the lord, nobodies crying foul play over those.
Or if you're going to use Paul as an example, I suggest you read "James the Brother of Jesus" by Robert Eisenman.
