The chapter that best deals with it
Is Romans Chapter 1.
I believe, Christ while teaching His apostles
Verbatim said Paul's teachings.
I imagine Him sitting, and preaching,
And little Jude rebelling because he had not yet sinned.
Saying, "That is the opposite of what your teach!"
Yet, how later on those teachings would be the sweetest.
Homosexuality, in Romans 1,
Is addressed in plain terms.
"26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
"27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet."
There can be no equivocation that Homosexuality is a sin.
As, any rendering of the sense of this passage reveals
It can only be talking about Homosexuality.
To Christians, I'd rather you not be Christian
Than teach sin. There is more hope for you in total rebellion
Than there is being lukewarm. Because at least in rebellion
You can find the truth, and it will shut your mouth
And then you will have something wise to teach.
The modern Protestant's confession is as weak as Elon Musk's.
He never said he was a Christian. He affirmed Christ's teachings.
Even a fool can affirm Christ's teachings.
Rather, it is the forgiveness of our sins,
That is why we need Christ.
So we are enabled to follow His teachings.
That is why we need Christ.
And teaching Homosexuality is not a sin
Is counter the example set at the cross
Which is the forsaking of ALL sin
For the purpose of the heavenly kingdom.
That which kills a man is his sin
And Christ's yoke is light because it will unburden us
From our sin, so we no longer are compelled into it.
Therefore, unburden the homosexual
By saying, "Christ can cleanse you of this shame and abomination."
For, that is what they truly want.
Not an excise into committing more lethal shame.
Mark 13:51Jesus saith unto them, Have ye understood all these things? They say unto him, Yea, Lord. 52Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe which is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old.
