Can you quote from the Bible where Jesus condemned homosexuality?

Can you quote me one reference where Jesus condemns homosexuality?
Surely if it is the abominable sin christians suggest, Jesus would have preached against it.
I don't want quotes from the Old Testament, I want a quote from the mouth of Jesus
Seriously though, you're using a bad line of reasoning to try and justify your views. Jesus would have rightly condemned all the practices I just mentioned (and for the record, so do I), but nothing in the Gospels records him doing so.
Matthew 5:27 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery:
:28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
The Apostle Paul's version of what Jesus said:
Romans 1:27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
May God bless you as you study His Word

Mark 14:51-52 (King James Version)
King James Version (KJV)
51 And there followed him a certain young man, having a linen cloth cast about his naked body; and the young men laid hold on him:
52 And he left the linen cloth, and fled from them naked.
Jhn 3:15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
Jhn 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Jhn 3:17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
Yes people need to be good example for Jesus but here is how. I do not believe we when saved are become perfect. None are perfect and all of our righteousness before God is junk. Thinking other wise is like thinking well we don't need Jesus anymore and we can run the rest of the race with out him. Kinda like achieving perfection and you can ascend to the next plane of existence. This is the primary base of most religions and its contrary to the purpose of Jesus as he said we could not on our own achieve this goal so he died for us to achieve it. You see a christian becomes who he/she is gradually. You "grow" in relationship with God over time. This happens as you receive the power of the Holy Spirit who is our teacher and comforter that Jesus said to pray for to receive. So many people are pointing the finger at people who call them selves Christians and saying they are Hippocrates but one thing they over look is "at least these Christians are working on building their relationship with God." Do you remember the story in the Bible about the man who came before God and said, "I have done many great deeds and yada yada" and then there was another man in the bible who came and beat his chest and asked God for his forgiveness and acknowledged his own faults. I remember that Jesus said this later man was justified more so than the man who thought he was righteous. So God sure doesn't think like most religious people. I just noticed a sort of thought pattern that has pervaded our minds about the people of Jesus that I wanted to confront so that people might know that Jesus loves us where we are at. And to receive his gift.
by the way Matthew 7:23 Matthew 7:23 - And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. The, "I never knew you" part. People need to know God wants to know them as they are. They don't have to be perfect that is the work of Jesus and the Holy Spirit to do in them. "Not by might nor by power but by my spirit says the Lord."
The key is spending time with God. All else branches from there. "thou shalt love the lord your God with all your heart all your soul and all your mind" Was just good advice from our father in heaven as he can fix us.
But he did get angry with the ones selling doves for sacrifice on the temple steps, and he did say: "I will have mercy and not sacrifice." So it appears to me that he was against the idea of blood for sin. More on the verses we don't hear very often in my bio. and the resource there.
And you are right to think about what Jesus himself was doing and saying. After all, he was the founder of the whole thing.
It also appears that those who want to condemn others are going to find what they are looking for one way or another.
Didn't happen.
If something this important was shunned by Jesus his followers would have put it in this book but instead they inputted their opinionated humanly notions into this book that reflected these times.
Jesus actually quoted from Genesis. He viewed that as authoritative.

Mark 7:20-23
http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?sea...
Jesus never mentioned homosexuality, but He did condemn all forms of sexual immorality:
According to Thayer's Greek Lexicon, the word translated here as "male prostitute" is the Greek word malakos which literally means "soft to the touch." However, it was used metaphorically in a negative way to refer to a catamite (a boy kept for sexual relations with a man) or to a male prostitute in general. The word translated here as "homosexual offender" is the Greek word arsenokoites which means a sodomite, a person who engages in any kind of unnatural sex, but especially homosexual intercourse. Some believe this use of arsenokoites referred specifically to the men who kept catamites, but that is not certain.
Jesus also didnt talk about abortion or drugs, that does not mean they arent sin
Rev 21:8 But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death."
we are to do all things to the glory of God
Jesus loved homosexuals as well as thieves and murderers. What He hated was homosexuality, thievery and murder. Understand?
You would have to go back to the Old Testament, probably Leviticus, to find the outright laws against the act of homosexuality. That law was the Word, which was Christ, in the form of a shadow of things to come; being Jesus in the flesh.
Paul, in his epistles, also spoke out against homosexuality in his letters to the Romans, in chapter 1.
Besides, why would you be seeking a quote from our Lord against homosexuality? He didn't need to tell sinners they were sinners. We already know we're sinners. The only ones He felt the need to speak against were the Pharisees, who hid behind religion, full of pride, making themselves wicked under the guise of self-righteousness. Homosexuals don't need to be told it's wrong. They are people with a conscience and a clear sense of right and wrong. We all understand it is an abomination to our very nature. No need to hate about it though. We just pray. I know homosexuals that know the Lord very well, but just refuse to leave their sin, just like I know alcoholics who know Him but continue to drink until they sin, and I know men and women who have had affairs, but they DO love the Lord. We are all humans, and we all fall short.
I don't see how religious people can condemn gay people anyways.
The word "homosexual" wasn't coined until the 1800's. And back when the bible was written people didn't define themselves by sexual orientation, and sexual orientation wasn't even established back then.
I do believe homosexuality is wrong because it deviates from the marriage blueprint given to us by God (which Jesus did describe on occasion), but I also believe that homosexuals are just like anyone else and should be treated just like anyone else. I can't condemn them without becoming a hypocrite.
So even homosexuality is covered here which is sexual sins. You see some of these sins are as wide as a hanger door, but others are only open a little. But sin is sin to God. He hates all sin!!!
Thus, endth the discussion....
It is in Romans however in the NT. Read Romans 1. The whole Bible is inspired by God.
Matthew 5
31"It has been said, 'Anyone who divorces his wife must give her a certificate of divorce.'[f] 32But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for marital unfaithfulness, causes her to become an adulteress, and anyone who marries the divorced woman commits adultery.
Matthew 19
8Jesus replied, "Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because your hearts were hard. But it was not this way from the beginning. 9I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for marital unfaithfulness, and marries another woman commits adultery."
10The disciples said to him, "If this is the situation between a husband and wife, it is better not to marry."
11Jesus replied, "Not everyone can accept this word, but only those to whom it has been given. 12For some are eunuchs because they were born that way; others were made that way by men; and others have renounced marriage[c]because of the kingdom of heaven. The one who can accept this should accept it."
Jesus only offered husband/wife marriage or being a eunich (one who had no sex parts, no sex).
Same with other NT writers. Sex only for man woman.
Paul said so at the end of Romans chapter 1, but also other places.
1 Cor. 7
1Now for the matters you wrote about: It is good for a man not to marry.[a] 2But since there is so much immorality, each man should have his own wife, and each woman her own husband. 3The husband should fulfill his marital duty to his wife, and likewise the wife to her husband.
Hebrews 13
4Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral.
No allowance is made for marriage to same sex people. Sex during a womans time of the month is forbidden in the Bible....yet, 2 woman having periods at different times of the month, would mean counsel would have to be given to not have sex 2 weeks of the month while each was on her period.
Sexual or ANY contact with manure was forbidden in the Bible. It had to be buried in the ground, not rubbed on the body or in contact with sex parts. Yet NO counsel is in the Bible for the special problems gay sex incurs. No counsel for how 2 women should have babies without husbands or how 2 men are going to get kids without women.
Plus what Romans chapter 1 says.
Why do you care? If sex perversion is all you are after, why do you even care if there is a God or what he wants anyone to do? Just go "do" something.

"The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show His servantsā things which must shortly take place. And He sent and signified it by His angel to His servant John, "
" But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death."
" But outside are dogs and sorcerers and sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and whoever loves and practices a lie".
"I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify to you these things in the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, the Bright and Morning Star."
1 Cor. 6:9-10, "Or do you not know that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, 10nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, shall inherit the kingdom of God."
