Well, did he ever perform a same-sex marriage?
Most societys especially 2 thousand years ago didn’t marriage licenses..
Gospel citation for that, please, Dr. Akin.
It's interesting that the author would put this (non-Scriptural) statement first, as if he feels compelled (Exclamation!) to project the contemporary obsession with sex onto the Lord.
The strongest point in the words of Jesus regarding the impossiblitity of "same-sex marriage" is the passage that says, "From the beginning God made them male and female," with the additional quote from Genesis. This is in the context of Jesus's condemnation of divorce. We know for certain that He is anti-divorce and anti-adultery, both in action and in intention.
There is also His statement that He did not come to abolish the Law but to fulfill it, which incorporates, as it were, a great deal of Old Testament moral teaching into Christianity.
why should he of ever brought it up? it was considered Settled Law...Jesus performed his very first miracle at a Wedding. It was a wedding between a man and a woman. We have to look at the overall plan as evidenced by the history - the teleology. God chose that time and that place to send his Son and placed him in the care of a woman and her husband in a Holy Family.
His actions do not injure or insult those of same sex orientation, they affirm his plan.
This is his example and message to us.
“Jesus believed that sex is a good gift from a great God. Jesus is pro-sex!”
I never read into any of Jesus’ statements that he was pro-sex or viewed sex as a gift. I understood that he saw marriage and procreation as part of God’s nature and God’s law. Jesus himself seemed to lead the life of a celibate.
What does Our Lord say in the Gospel about the Apostles?
Luke 10:16
He that heareth you, heareth me; and he that despiseth you, despiseth me; and he that despiseth me, despiseth him that sent me.
So....read in the Gospel:
UNREPENTANT sodomites are in Hell. God is merciful, repent
of the “act” confess this grave mortal sin to God. God makes no one homosexual, it is a disorder. Pray and after
a from the heart confession, remain chaste.

2 PETER 2:4-6 For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but delivered them, drawn down by infernal ropes to the lower hell, unto torments, to be reserved unto judgment: 5 And spared not the original world, but preserved Noe, the eighth person, the preacher of justice, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly. 6 And reducing the cities of the Sodomites, and of the Gomorrhites, into ashes, condemned them to be overthrown, making them an example to those that should after act wickedly.
2 Peter 2:4-6: Peter also reveals that the Sodomites are suffering in hell for their sins by comparing the Sodomites’ punishment to the eternal punishment of the evil angels. Just as God did not spare the angels when they sinned but cast them into hell, so He did the same with the Sodomites when He “condemned them to extinction and made them an example to those who were to be ungodly.”
JUDE 5:7 I will therefore admonish you, though ye once knew all things, that Jesus, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, did afterwards destroy them that believed not: 6 And the angels who kept not their principality, but forsook their own habitation, he hath reserved under darkness in everlasting chains, unto the judgment of the great day. 7 As Sodom and Gomorrha, and the neighbouring cities, in like manner, having given themselves to fornication, and going after other flesh, were made an example, suffering the punishment of eternal fire.
Jude 5:7: Like Peter, Jude confirms that the Sodomites are in hell by saying that they had the same fate as the evil angels. Jude says just as the evil angels were condemned to hell, the Sodomites “likewise” (Greek, hos) acted immorally and are undergoing a punishment of eternal fire. “Undergoing” (Greek, upechousai) is a present participle which means their suffering is ongoing. See also the clear polarity between those who are saved (v.5) and those who are condemned (vv. 6-7,11,13).
That said, Jesus did say "... for this cause, a MAN shall leave his father and mother and cling to his WIFE, and the two shall become one flesh. Let therefore no man divide what God has joined together..." So, without specifically addressing the inconceivable concept of same-sex marriage, Jesus affirmed that marriage is between one man and one woman.
That does not mean that he was therefore advocating it.
No, it is not true. Next question.
It is sad that we have to even address such an absurd argument regarding Jesus.
Maybe Jesus didn’t address sex with chickens so maybe he is ok with it, utterly revolting.
He didn’t have to - back in those days those kind of people were stoned to death, so they didn’t swish in your face.
The truth is that we are sure that every word of Jesus was not recorded, only that which the Holy Spirit caused the authors of the gospels to remember. It was obvious to the Holy Spirit that homosexuality and marriage and “homosexual marriage” had been addressed.
Answer: It was not necessry as the conduct speaks for itself.
Matt. 5:17-19. I think that pretty well answers it.
For those who never read the bible, they will listen to these clowns. For those of us who do read the bible, we know what it says and that these people are blowing steam.
Further when Jesus dictated the Book of Revelation to the Apostle John, He clearly stated that people who practice sexual immorality cannot qualify to receive His free gift of eternal life. This is found in Revelation 22:14.
This is also stated in similarly direct language by the Apostle Paul in Ephesians 5:1-7.
Notice that Paul includes coveting in his list in Ephesians, which he defines as idolatry. In Revelation 22:14, Jesus states that those who practice idolatry are also disqualified from eternal life.
Socialism, by its very structure, is built upon coveting and theft. Socialists cannot qualify for eternal life. Sadly the vast majority of churches in this age are corrupted by socialism just as the early Church was corrupted by Gnosticism. It should come as no surprise that there is a direct philosophical trail from Valentinian Gnosticism to the theologian Hegel and then via his dialectic to Marx and socialism. In other words, socialism is the modern secular form of the same spiritual values that animated people who were drawn to Gnosticism.

We are seeing spiritual warfare in secular form being waged against humanity before our very eyes.
