So, christians, If the OT laws are obsolete and you aren't required to follow them?

Question

Please give me a reference from the NT that says homosexuality is a sin.

I ask this because I see so many christian answers that say "We aren't required to follow OT laws since jesus said so." Or "The OT laws are jew laws and don't pertain to christians."

1 Corinthians does not in fact mention homosexuals, that is one incorrect translation in one version. And if you want to say that romans is referring to it as a sin, then please read the passage as it says that god made them do it. Does god make people commit sins?

revelations 21 says absolutely nothing about homosexuality.

The_Cricket: Why does it mention other specific sexual sins and not homosexuality?

Answer 1

Even if homosexuality is not a sin by New Testament standards, we are all still sinners. I am Bi too.

So grace is still necessary because we are sinners. The Christians are just saved sinners, whether they are straight or not!

Answer 2

1 Corinthians 6 (verses 8 through 10) and Romans 1 (verses 25 through 27).

There are also many references in the New Testament to sexual immorality, which adultery, rape, child molestation, homosexuality, and fornication fall under. Hey, I didn't make the rules.

P.S. By the way, Jesus also never mentioned spouse abuse. So does that mean it's okay?

Edit: No, it does NOT say that God "made" them do it. It said they did it on their own, and God LET them do it, and LET them be given over to their "unnatural" desires.
As for the whole "the passage in 1 Corinthians was a mistranslation," it was not. The Greek word "homosexual offenders" was translated from was μαλακός, or "malakos" which literally means effeminate.
And, in verse nine, almost every "sin" mentioned (except idolatry) is a sexual sin. Coincidence? I think not.

Answer 3

The church is the sole governing authority for new covenant Christians, and the church has always authoritatively taught that homosexual activity is seriously disordered and (objectively) gravely sinful.

2357 Homosexuality refers to relations between men or between women who experience an exclusive or predominant sexual attraction toward persons of the same sex. It has taken a great variety of forms through the centuries and in different cultures. Its psychological genesis remains largely unexplained. Basing itself on Sacred Scripture, which presents homosexual acts as acts of grave depravity,141 tradition has always declared that "homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered."142 They are contrary to the natural law. They close the sexual act to the gift of life. They do not proceed from a genuine affective and sexual complementarity. Under no circumstances can they be approved.

2358 The number of men and women who have deep-seated homosexual tendencies is not negligible. This inclination, which is objectively disordered, constitutes for most of them a trial. They must be accepted with respect, compassion, and sensitivity. Every sign of unjust discrimination in their regard should be avoided. These persons are called to fulfill God's will in their lives and, if they are Christians, to unite to the sacrifice of the Lord's Cross the difficulties they may encounter from their condition.

2359 Homosexual persons are called to chastity. By the virtues of self-mastery that teach them inner freedom, at times by the support of disinterested friendship, by prayer and sacramental grace, they can and should gradually and resolutely approach Christian perfection.

Answer 4

The old Testament laws are very much in effect today. The fact you try to separate us from the Old Testament shows how little your understanding is.
Take the word sodomy is there a dictionary that doesn't call it un-natural.
iniquity
unclean
lascivious
fornication adultery all apply to the sexually challenged as well.
It is condemned from Genesis to Revelations and any way you twist it up, wrong is wrong and sin is sin.

Answer 5

Jesus taught things and then the word of God taught things from Genesis to revelations. Jesus didn't come to change the Laws but to fulfill them.
Do you not know that the unrighteous

will NOT inherit the Kingdom of God"

Do not be deceived.

Neither fornicators, ...

nor adulterers,

nor homosexuals,

nor sodomites,

nor thieves, ...

will inherit the Kingdom of God.

And such were some of you. ['Repent' means 'stop' and return to God and His Word]

But you were washed [through the innocent blood of Jesus which was shed for our sins]

But you were sanctified [means "set apart" ... all who will believe in Jesus are "set apart"]

But you were justified [justified means "just as if it had never happened ..."]

in the Name of the Lord Jesus

and by the Spirit of our God."

(1 Cor 6:9-11)

Answer 6

Rom 1:26
Revelation 21:8

Answer 7

Sadly, its in there. Paul spoke against homosexuality in his letters to the Romans and the Corinthians.

Surprisingly, however, Christ never said a word regarding the subject. CHRIST, you know, the guy they named the whole thing after ...
