Reply #25: The answer is "Not specifically" [View All]

Jesus never specifically denounced Homosexuality, although interestingly, he did specifically denounce divorce. The only mention of homosexuality is the New Testement came from Paul, who was the only disciple never to hear Jesus preach (He had a vision on the road to Damascus that converted him).

And the original writings of Paul have a lot more ambiguity to them that the English translations suggest. A lot of scholars think that Paul was talking about male prostitutes, and the excess of sex outside of marriage, not about homosexuality in general.

Of course, there are plenty of other biblical scholars who say Paul was absolutely talking about homosexuality in general, so there you go.

The closest Jesus comes to anything against Homosexuality is an endorsement of man/woman marriage.

From Mark 10

But at the beginning of creation God made them male and female. 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. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate.
