What else would sexual immorality mean if not that? Jesus came to fulfill the scriptures, the Old Testament. He was the living manifestation of the Word - and the Old Testament clearly dictated that homosexuality was wrong. By deductive reasoning, you are allowed to assume that sexual immorality in this case means homosexuality, because adultery has already been differentiated, leaving what had previously been defined in the Old Testament as immoral sexual acts. When coupled with Jesus' affirmation of traditional marriage in the other passage I referenced, it becomes very clear what Jesus' stance on homosexuality really is.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 33366328 Well, fornication and masturbation just to name two of several distinct possibilities. The whole crux of your statement falls apart on that basis. Maybe you should ask yourself what you are trying to do by starting a thread such as this. There are a whole host of ills in the world. Why should this issue deserve so much focus? (rhetorical)
Food for thought; the so often called 'abomination' is clearly described as man laying with another man as if they were a woman. For starters no one should be making any blanket arguments or condemnations that extend past the act itself.
The other thing I'd like to mention is all the holy rollers think they know why God would find such an act an a 'abomination' but do they have any real idea? They seem to completely ignore the fact eating pigs, shellfish, or rabbits are all considered abominations as well (BTW I'd wager most of them are inclined to eagerly gobble all three down when given a half a chance)
What is being overlooked here is that fundamentally these laws were set down to keep a primitive people relatively free from disease, blight, genetic mutation and social disorder. Personally I'm led to believe God's loathing of man on man sex mostly has to do with how scientifically unhealthy it is to go in the exit hole. The result is bound to be eventually a premature death.
I know this will likely just get ignored so carry on trying to remove the obvious motes from the eyes of others.
And hey, how are those bloody Visene cross drops doing on working out that plank?
