Two days last week, a talk show host in Denver spent both his entire shows,
they run from 5 to 9 in the morning, asking people that called in,
Show me in the Bible where Jesus ever spoke against homosexuality.  This man
is not a Christian, of course, and he knows absolutely nothing about
Biblical interpretation.  I nearly called but instead, changed stations
because he was being so rude to every Christian who called.  The answer is,
Yes, Jesus did speak against homosexuality.  I was disappointed no Christian
I heard, and admittedly I did not listen a lot those two days, but none I
heard ever quoted the one passage to him that proved the talk show host
wrong.  Yes, Jesus did speak against homosexuality.  Please read the
following quote from the King James.

John 8:3-10
And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in
adultery; and when they had set her in the midst, They say unto
him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.
Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned:
but what sayest thou?  This they said, tempting him, that they
might have to accuse him.  But Jesus stooped down, and with his
finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not.  So when
they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto
them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a
stone at her.  And again he stooped down, and wrote on the
ground.  And they which heard it, being convicted by their own
conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even
unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in
the midst.  When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the
woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers?
hath no man condemned thee?  She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus
said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.

Now, I realize this passage is talking about a woman caught in an extra
marital affair.  However, if it had been a homosexual, caught in the very
act as these men claimbed they caught the woman in the very act of adultery,
which I don't believe, Jesus would have said the exact same thing to the
homosexual or the lesbian or the drug addict, or the alcoholic, or any other
person living in sin.  Neither do I condemn thee.  Go and sin no more.  It
is one's own sin that condemns what they do and how they live.  Jesus died
already for all those who sin.  What if they go and continue in their sin?
then their sin will condemn them and they will die in their sins.  Yes, it
is that simple.

Phil.
