Too many Christians nowadays are "cafeteria Christians" picking and choosing what to follow in the bible and what to ignore.
The bible mentions the sin of homosexuality around 6 times and the sin of eating shellfish a good 11 or more times.
God hates faggots but not as much as a prawn cocktail.
The 4 gospels in New Testament is oddly quiet on the issue of homosexuality. Which is to be expected if you spend all your time alone with 12 men....
However the Nazarene does say one thing which may be a reference to homosexuality
Matthew 19 talks about marriage
Matthew 19:11 But He said to them,
“Not all men can accept this statement, but only those to whom it has been given."
Matthew 19:12
"For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother's womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it."
Eunuchs who were made eunuchs by men is pretty self explanatory
Eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs are men who foreswear marriage to better serve God.
But eunuchs born from their mother's womb is an interesting turn of phrase. During the time of the Nazarene the term "born a eunuch" was a term to describe "effeminate" men, commonly associated with homosexual desire. It was a widely used term and the Nazarene would have been familiar with it's meaning.
He lists people born gay alongside another honoured class (eunuchs for the kingdom), and accepts them as a natural part of God’s creation order.
The Nazarene teaches that most people are created for heterosexual marriage. But he does not see this as the only honourable way to live. He acknowledges that some human beings have been created by God to follow a less common, but equally legitimate path. There are some who have been eunuchs from birth — made that way by God.
