You beat me to it. Jesus DEFINITELY says something about gay marriage. It doesn’t exist. Marriage only exists between ONE MAN and ONE WOMAN.
Yes, that’s true. But the Jews still held onto their Laws and customs, and as long as they didn’t get in the Roman’s way - they were allowed the occasional stoning or two.
He was in the closet?
Somebody quoted Leviticus 20:13 to a pro-gay marriage Democrat. His response: “If you believe that book, then why don’t you stone Christine O’ Donnell for practicing witchcraft?”
Matthew 19:4-6
"Have you not 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 flesh.
Therefore what God has joined together,
let no one separate.
"For this reason" --- because the Creator made them male and female.
That is a wonderful and well-researched piece of logical thought.
To which the Leftist response will be, “YOU’RE JUST A BIGOT!”
"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."
Matthew 5:18

The godless left and homosexuals frequently bring up the straw argument that the gospels do not mention Christ condeming homosexuality as sin.
This "arguement" can be defeated so quickly and thoroughly that it is laughable.
1. Christ is God (John 10:30)
2. The Bible is God's inerrant Word (2 Timothy 3:16)
3. Christ came to fulfill the Law, and reinforced its authority and unchangeability (Matthew 5:18)
4. The Bible condemns homosexuality in the strongest of terms (Genesis 19:4-9, Leviticus 18:22, Leviticus 20:13, Romans 1: 24-27, 1 Corinthians 6:9-10, and 1 Timothy 1:9-10).
Moreover, Jesus never said anything about it being sin about a Father having sex with his daughter. He didn't have to. He already did in His Word.
Homosexuals want applause and "acceptance" for their sin that spits in the face of God.
If they asked Him for mercy and they repented, He would hear their cry, forgive them, and heal them.
Didn’t say anything about smoking either.
He also did not say anything about grace. Not one word recorded. But He did say that His Apostles spoke for Him, and thank God they spoke of grace .... and had a few things to say about unrepentant homosexuals as well.
They’re taking the absence of a negative as an affirmative, which is neither logically nor historically sound.
And the Old Testament makes the position pretty clear.
Excellent points. Bookmarked for later reference.
In Seattle, there’s been a program on public access TV for many years, called “Gays for Jesus,” in which the host claims that all of the Biblical condemnations of homosexuality are in fact only condemnations of male temple prostitution, and are therefor to be understood as a condemnation of service to false gods rather than of homosexual sex per se, and that homosexuality in general is not prohibited. Needless to say, I think his Biblical exegesis is bogus and would find little support among Biblical scholars.
It was already established in the Old Testament that homosexuality was an abomination to the Lord. Jesus fulfilled the Old Testament.
MATTHEW 17
16 “Are you still so dull?” Jesus asked them. 17 “Don’t you see that whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and then out of the body? 18 But the things that come out of a person’s mouth come from the heart, and these defile them. 19 For out of the heart come evil thoughts—murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, slander. 20 These are what defile a person; but eating with unwashed hands does not defile them.”
MARK 7
20 He went on: “What comes out of a person is what defiles them. 21 For it is from within, out of a person’s heart, that evil thoughts come—sexual immorality, theft, murder, 22 adultery, greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance and folly. 23 All these evils come from inside and defile a person.”
Who was Paul speaking about then, in Romans 1:26-27?
“And his very first miracle was to turn water into wine at a wedding where they had already drank too much. I like to share this with my Baptist friends (I live in a dry county).”
Yes, it seems pretty clear from the New Testament that Jesus drank wine, and I don’t understand people who claim that he didn’t. There is also nothing in the Bible to indicate the Jesus was a vegetarian, but some vegetarians claim that he was because - well, THEY are vegetarians, THEY think eating meet or fish is wrong, so - dammit - Jesus must have prohibited it too.
MY answer: "O'Donnell repented and sought forgiveness for her sin. What have YOU done?"
WRONG AGAIN:
LUKE 17:34
“I say to you, In that night there will be two men sleeping in one bed, and one will be taken away and the other let go.” -
Please read the Bible once in a while- it might help-

What do they say about Matthew 5:17-20?
17 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. 18 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. 19 Therefore anyone who sets aside one of the least of these commands and teaches others accordingly will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20 For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven.
