What did Jesus say?


It always amazes me when people say that Jesus didn’t say anything about homosexuality, gay marriage, or any number of other hot-button issues.  Of course, He did!  If this is what you believe, then you have not studied the Scripture thoroughly, nor do you understand Who Jesus is.  

Jesus is God!  He said Himself that He and the Father are ONE.  It is clear throughout Scripture that God says NO to homosexuality and not only that, but sexual immorality of any kind, including fornication (sex between two people who are NOT MARRIED – IT’S WRONG!), adultery (sex between two people who are married, but not to each other, and/or one partner married and  engaged sexually with another person, married or not) beastiality (sex between people and animals), incest (sex between family members).  It is also clear throughout Scripture that God’s plan was for His children, whom He created MALE AND FEMALE, were to come together sexually only within the sacred bonds of marriage, for purposes of pleasure, unity of spirit, emotional, physical and spiritual bonding, and procreation. It is also a symbol, a shadow, a picture of God's love for us, of Jesus as the Heavenly Groom, and we, the Church, as the (holy, spotless) Bride of Christ.  

Here’s just one of MANY references about this in the Scripture:  Matthew 19:4-6 '4 And He (JESUS) answered and said to them, “Have you not read that He who made them at the beginning ‘made them male and female,’ 5 and said, ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’? 6 So then, they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate.'  

Wake up, people! Your argument is with GOD and His Word…and Jesus IS the Word!
