Have you ever heard someone say, “Jesus never said anything about homosexuality.”
Is that true?
Short answer: No.
Longer answer: In the New Testament, Jesus spoke about homosexuality and clearly denounced it as sin in at least three passages:
Mark 7:21-23, Revelation 2:14, and Revelation 2:20.
Jesus condemns the sexual sins of both homosexuals and heterosexuals with the phrase “sexual immorality” (ESV), a reference to any sexual behavior outside of marriage between a man and a woman.
An even longer answer: I highly recommend this 10-minute explanation of what Jesus said about homosexual behavior, by Alan Shlemon of Stand to Reason.

Alan provides a concise yet thorough teaching on the three passages mentioned above and why we know that homosexuality is sin.
Check it out. The next time you have a discussion with someone on this topic, you’ll know what the Bible says.
Have a grace-filled day, and thank you for reading this post.

Jesus loved and you hate
You are not a christian if you think homosexuality is bad.
Jesus was a kind compassionate man who taught love and empathy.
Your fundamentalism teaches judgement and cruelty.
It doesn’t matter what a human being thinks, it matters what GOD thinks, and the Bible is very clear about God’s views on sexual immorality.
“For from within the hearts of men come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, greed, wickedness, deceit, debauchery, envy, slander, arrogance, and foolishness. All these evils come from within, and these are what defile a man.” – Mark 7:21-23
“For this reason God gave them over to dishonorable passions. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. Likewise, the men abandoned natural relations with women and burned with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.
“Furthermore, since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, He gave them up to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done. They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed, and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, and malice. They are gossips, slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant, and boastful. They invent new forms of evil; they disobey their parents. They are senseless, faithless, heartless, merciless.
“Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things are worthy of death, they not only continue to do these things, but also approve of those who practice them.” – Romans 1:26-32
Your response sounds very judgmental.
Though, it is true that Jesus was a kind, compassionate man who taught love, and empathy, there was much more of his teaching. To begin with, he began his ministry calling people to repentance. He did not love their sin or empathize with their sin. He came to seek and save the lost, those who are lost in sin and darkness. He does not call them to remain in sin and darkness. He neither loves nor empathizes with darkness.
If you understand that Jesus is God (the “I Am”) , the Second Person of the Triune Godhead, then Jesus condemned homosexuality, along with other sexual sins, in the Old Testament. He is a holy and righteous God. Sin is totally incompatible with his nature. Because sin is so filthy and contrary to his pure, righteous nature, he hates sin.
Another thing to consider is, he hates sin because sin destroys human beings, the human beings that he made in his image.
By endorsing or affirming sin, it appears that your viewpoint is what will bring about judgement and cruelty.
People who defend this argument just can’t bring themselves to actually say it. He did not speak out against homosexuality specifically. Never named them.
Be a good Christian, love thy neighbor.
Jesus didn’t speak out against MANY sins, that doesn’t mean he condones them. God’s law is very clear on sexual immorality.
Being a good Christian is loving people enough to warn them about the sins that they are committing that will keep them from God and will eternally separate them from Him in a place they REALLY don’t want to end up.
If you see someone standing in the road not paying attention and a big truck is barreling down the road toward them, about to hit them, do you think it’s loving to ignore the situation and not to try to warn them that a truck is coming? What’s more loving? Warning them that they’re about to get ran over or just ignore them and allow them to get hit?
Christians who know what’s coming and who love people enough to warn them aren’t being mean, or rude, or hateful, they are LOVING people enough to warn them and to talk about the things that the world finds uncomfortable to talk about.
There is the mistake. It is assumed I
hate the person and being a good Christian means I do not care enough about sin to ignore it. I subscribe to the Word. Perhaps I say these things not from a place of hate. Maybe it comes from a place of loving my brother. To cast us all into the pot with those trying to use it as being hateful are not in line with Christian doctrine. I have a gay son. I love him dearly and would never exclude him, but I am concerned about unrepented sin in his life and sin in mine. Does it make me a good Christian and good father by ignoring the fact he is distancing from God?
absolutely true.
Thank you for your brave answer to the question, “What did Jesus say about homosexuality?” It was clear and concise.
Scripture as a whole clearly identifies homosexuality as a form of sexual immorality.
“Jesus never said…” How many other sins shall we now allow along with homosexuality on that basis of that logic?
I have heard this many times before and I have thought well what if a person does not follow the Christian bible is being gay still wrong for them. keep in mind that you only state that Jesus says it is but if a person does not follow the teaching of Jesus should they still abide by the teachings or laws.
If your answer is yes then why do we not abide by the teachings and laws of other religions.
There is only one true God, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of the ancient Israelites, the God of Christians. Jesus said: “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” – John 14:6
Following Christ Jesus is the ONLY way to heaven.
Just because someone believes something is immoral and sinful does not mean they are hated. Sin is hated because Christians believe the end outcome is hell and who wants to see that neighbor, or their child, or their family member go to hell. It is out of love and compassion that we speak out against it as well as all sin we have been guilty of. We have the gift of salvation through what Jesus the Messiah did on the cross and His Resurrection. Why turn down the gift that God gave for free and for eternal peace and joy? The choice seems simple and we have everything we need through the Holy Spirit to help us walk in God’s purpose for us. Seems a small price to pay to spend eternity in paradise.
Sir, Jesus never said a thing about homosexuality. He spoke of fornication that is in Jewish belief that it goes towards just having a physical relationship outside of marriage or committing incest. It says absolutely nothing about homosexuality in the passages you quoted and it really depends on what bible version you are reading also that can change the explanation a bit. Fornication in Judaism is a reference between men and women who are not married or who cohabitate outside of marriage only and that even goes as far as having a physical relationship with slave of the opposite sex not the same bio sex, period.
What about a genetic disorder that might cause it. In other words, are they born that way?
Jesus calls out the rich a handful of times, but I never hear Christians loving people enough to warn them about that. They have this one morbid sick obsession with being gay. I wonder why, typically people who are that obsessed turn out to be gay themselves. Seems most Christians are just projecting I guess.
