Jesus and Homosexuality

Matt Colvin has a very interesting entry on his blog entitled An Unheard of Sin in Judaism which deals with the issue of whether Paul and Jesus shared the same view of homosexuality.

Matt concludes:
So, no, this is not a matter in which Jesus could have departed from Jewish tradition without automatically discrediting his ministry. When Paul says that unrepentant homosexual offenders (to say nothing of those who are proud of their behaviour and crusade for its acceptance) will not inherit the kingdom of God, he is not being the mean apostle who invented intolerant Christianity by revising the teachings of "gentle Jesus, meek and mild." He is, rather, repeating what YHWH has always thought about the practice in question, and what Jesus thought about it too.
Well worth a read IMHO.
