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.
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.
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?
