>> It doesn't say in the gospels that Jesus ever condemned homosexuality.
He talked about all sorts of things, except that.
< STRONG No. God even gave His view on it (Biblical)
Lev. 18:22, "You shall not lie with a male as one lies with a female; it is an abomination."Lev. 20:13, "If there is a man who lies with a male as those who lie with a woman, both of them have committed a detestable act; they shall surely be put to death. Their bloodguiltness is upon them."
This Old Testament scripture is still relevant.
Now why is this OT scripture relevant when Christians live in the NT? Because the OT actually gives God’s direct view on such a matter. It’s one of those rare cases that God gives a law with an opinion. For most other commands, such as a woman having to wash herself after her period, God doesn’t say it’s detestable to disobey this instruction. It’s really with just a few laws that God states his view on such a violation.
Strong View
And here, it’s such a strong view, that God sees it as an abomination (disgusting/detestable) to have sex with another man as one would a female.
So, if God gives his view in the OT, do we think his view would change in the NT? Nope. It’s easy to see the OT regulatory laws change, but not God’s view.
