RE: -Jesus never once condemned homosexuality-

Here’s what Jesus said about the Old Testament:

“For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished.”

Did the Old Testament condemn the homosexual act? Most assuredly it did.

Leviticus 18:22

“Do not practice homosexuality, having sex with another man as with a woman. It is a detestable sin.”

New Living Translation (NLT)

_______________

So, putting it all together, Jesus tells us that the law cannot be abolished, the law tells us that homosexual acts are sinful and an abomination.... therefore?

The trouble is, liberals respond to that argument by pointing out other Old Testament laws that Christians don’t follow anymore. Like women have to cover their heads, women can’t talk in church, certain offenders have to be stoned to death, you can’t mix two different fabrics, etc. Might be better to point out the New Testament verses condemning homosexuality, and how Paul was never corrected or told to change his preaching about it. Also, when Jesus talked about marriage, he spoke of a man and his wife. He never mentioned two men or two women.

Just a thought.
