When asked about marriage and divorce, Jesus answered, “But from the beginning of creation, “God made them male and female.” “Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.” So they are no longer two but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate’.” ( Mark 10:6-9.
See also Matthew 19:3-12)Īs the Son of God, it stands to reason that Jesus would know God’s intended purpose for marriage and sexuality. Many Christian supporters of LGBT issues claim that Jesus never spoke about homosexuality and is therefore neutral on the topic. However, if we take the above passages, we can see that this is not true.
Jesus could have allowed for a wider interpretation of marriage, allowing that of homosexual partnerships, but he didn’t. Homosexual practice is not unique to our generation it existed long before Jesus was on earth.
