What Did Jesus Say about Homosexuality?

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.

  2. Della says:

    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.

  3. anonymous says:

    absolutely true.

  4. Tim Hansen says:

    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?
