"But the things that come out of the mouth come from the heart, and these make a man ‘unclean.’ "

And you spout so much bigotry and hate. I think most go under the "slander", "false testimony", and "evil thoughts" groupings.

Intentional use of the logical "fallacy of equivocation".

The unrepentantly sexually immoral often use the word "love" to refer to sex in order to make an immoral sex act seem to be morally justifiable. It is an intentional equivocation.

I've seen (here on Y!A) homosexuals equate homosexual sex with "love" *many* times.

I've heard heterosexuals equate fornication and adultery - the sex acts - with "love" **very many** times.

Simply: if you call an immoral sex act "love" it sounds a lot less immoral, and the people using the word "love" in this manner are well aware of that fact.

Bruce, Jesus doesn't here SPECIFICALLY condemn sodomy. However, I agree with you that the sin of sodomy is implied.

The New Testament scripture more commonly used theologically to demonstrate that sodomy (under the New Covenant) is highly sinful is 1 Corinthians 6:9,10 which states:

"Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God."

or for another reference, one could consider Romans 1:26-28 which states:

"For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due. And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting"
