God

[Frank Apisa]

There is no disputing that but many argue that He didn’t address it because it was already addressed in the OT and people knew this.

Also back then homosexuality wasn’t really an issue like it is today.

There were no marches or anything it was just something people did in private. Even the OT didn’t focus on it but just mentioned it off hand while discussing something else

There would have been no reason for Jesus to talk about something that most people didn’t even care about

Tink, homosexuality was huge back in those days...with many societies being very accepting of it. The Greeks thought nothing of it. The Romans thought it to be a natural, common thing. They had some concerns with how it was handled. Pitchers got respect; catchers were considered trashy. But it was as common for an aristocrat to be balling other men as it was to be balling women.

Anyway, I am not arguing for Jesus' motivation for not mentioning it. I am merely pointing out that he DID NOT MENTION it.

Yet there are people here arguing that he did. That I am wrong when I say he did not mention it.

Here you are arguing for the reason he didn't. (Obviously your arguments make a lot more sense to me on this.)

What gives with these others?

Homosexuality wasn't even important enough to put in the Ten Commandments.

As sins go, it's not even as bad as lying, adultery, coveting. Trump's life has been based on lying and adultery, and a lot of gay -hating MAGAs on this board lie relentlessly and without remorse

Many if not most self professed cristians are ignorant

Jesus did not mention it which indicates to me that He did not consider homosexuality to be a concern

He wasn’t here to point out specific sins but to preach that now salvation was through Him and the sin didn’t matter

Is homosexuality a sin? I don’t know, that is up to the individual to determine but I do know that I have no authority to look down on someone when I am riddled with my own sin

I know many homosexuals that are very wonderful people and Jesus knew this also which may be why He never condemned them

Nor was embezzlement, nor was maiming, nor was tyranny, nor was false imprisonment, nor was slavery, etc...

That's right, you are omniscient. I forgot that you get to speak for the past.

Jesus liked hanging out with the dudes.

[IBDaMann]

Why would God deny two (or more) consenting adults loving each other?

Well, those who find the Christian God to be very much as you are, i.e. a complete asshole, would say that that is exactly what one should expect who believes in a cruel deity who hates us all, who created us just to throw 80% of humanity into eternal torture. Further, that we should expect assholes such as you who live to emulate such a sadistic deity to behave as an asshole on JPP by following the example of the sadistic deity you worship.

I'm just saying that there are those on JPP who would claim that.

Sin is sin, there aren’t levels to them

So do most straight guys

[BidenPresident]

So do most straight guys

...who are single, never date women, and never marry.

[Tinkerpeach]

...who are single, never date women, and never marry.

They kinda had more important things to do

[BidenPresident]

They kinda had more important things to do

Yes, teach all you Christians that he did not marry but you should! So, do not be like Jesus.

You make Jesus cry

[BidenPresident]

Childish. If you are this immature I will not bother.

Catholics disagree. Venial vs. Mortal vs. IBDaMann-level ... or maybe they've gotten rid of that last one.
