What does the Bible say about homosexuality? Nowadays, it is going on conversations about homosexuality; some are against it and some on behalf of it. The right answer we can find from the word of God (the Bible). Many people say that Jesus didn't condemn same-gender sex and homosexuality. This is false interpretation and understanding about this matter. The Lord Jesus condemns homosexuality as a sin and this comes out very clearly from the word of God (Bible).
Gal 1: The word revelation is in Greek apokalupsis, which means revelation, be revealed. The Lord Jesus taught Paul by the revelation, and He said to Paul about it that what is the will of God, truth and meaning of Bible's teaching. Apostle Paul taught that same-gender sex (homosexuality) is a sin, because the Lord Jesus told and commanded Paul to write that homosexuality is a sin (example 1 Cor 6:9). Of course, Paul also knew it from the Scriptures (Lev 18:22; 20:13). The Lord Jesus and apostle Paul loved with the love of God also homosexuals, but the love of God doesn't love the sins, but sinners.
Luke 17: Jude 1:7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire. The Lord Jesus said that when He is revealed (return), so on the earth people live like in Sodom, in which God condemned because of homosexuality sins. The Lord Jesus confirmed and accepted judge of God and by this way Jesus also condemned homosexuality and didn't accept homosexuality. The Lord Jesus is the Messiah, the Redeemer from sins and the Saviour. Jesus' must fulfil the whole law of God and believed all what the Old Testament taught, that He could be the Saviour. He did fulfill and believe all the law. In the Old Testament were commandments, which teach that homosexuality is a sin. Because the Lord Jesus had to believe all commandments of the Old Testament, so He also believed that homosexuality is a sin. The Bible teaches that homosexuality was a sin in the order of the Old Covenant and is valid in the order of the New Covenant. Like this way Jesus also believed that homosexuality is a sin, and He also condemned homosexuality by this way.
