Where did Jesus mention gay people in the Bible or any other book that was omitted from the Canon?
Certainly, Jesus did address the topic of marriage. In Matthew 19:3-6, Jesus said: “Haven’t you read,” he replied, “that at the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female,’ and 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’? So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate.” The intent of Jesus is hard to miss. The words He used are direct references to the passage in Genesis also referring to the union of male and female. If Jesus wanted to make marriage a matter of two people without regard to gender, he could have phrased his words in this way. However, his reference to marriage being a union of male and female is unmistakable. Any other reading of the text requires the imposition of modern ideas upon the Bible. Some writers point to a few verses later in Matthew 19:10-12 as an indicator that Jesus did indeed refer to homosexuals by mentioning “eunuchs b
Some of your other answers are misleading. Paul did NOT say that people shouldn’t marry after Christs coming, that passage is being taken out of context. What Paul was doing was giving answers to questions that the Ephesians (or was it the Corinthians?) had asked Paul in a letter. It was intended for a short time for their current situation. Paul does not appear to be against marriage. In fact, he even gives regulations for marriage, so that implies that he did not completely oppose it… All the same, I don’t agree with a lot of what Paul says… And as for Jesus, it’s best to remember he lived in a VERY different culture! Today, in modern Hispanic cultures, people kiss one another on the cheek as a greeting. Of course, I have no problem with homosexuality, I believe everyone should have someone. I’m just annoyed by the lack of historical accuracy… And Jesus never mentioned homosexuality… You’ll find that the majority of the teachings of “Christianity” actually come from Paul. Pau
Jesus’ concern was and still is to redeem all people and to forgive their sins. He is not exclusive about any certain sin but, instead He is concerned with loving all of us. His mention of sinners is that He is our friend and that He died for us. Because of Adam and Eve’s disobedience, we all inherited the sin nature. We are all sinners. Any of us can be homosexuals, murders, fornicators, thieves, adulterers, gossipers, addicts, gluttons or liars. Probably even more than one of those. We all posses this sin nature, which causes us all to be born separated from God and do the things that He has told us not to do for our own good. Jesus came to the earth for the purpose of becoming the blood sacrifice for the forgiveness of our sins. Those of us who will choose Him as our Lord and Savior and repent (which means to turn away from sin), will be given the free gift of forgiveness and eternal life with God. When we choose Jesus, God declares us blameless. This is called justification (just a
Only Jesus’ words mattered, huh? He mentions lust in the context of man and woman I would say because that has been the standard for “normal” sexual relations throughout all of history. Other places in scripture it is condemned, but that isn’t good enough for the tolerence seekers of today’s society. Why don’t you stop looking for a loop hole and start looking for a clue. You are trying to find biblical backing through the words, or lack thereof, of Jesus to get an okay for homosexuality. There isn’t one there. I don’t believe Jesus would have emphasized this sin over any others, but a sin is still a sin, which always comes short of God’s standard… Edit: Nice way to completely misinterpet what I was saying… Anyhow, you seem to be missing a very important fact. Jesus told His Apostles before He died that they could not follow Him where He was going, but that He would send the comforter (Holy Spirit) who would lead them into all truth. All of the Apostles, including Paul recieved the
