It\\u2019s not what goes into the mouth that contaminates a person in God\\u2019s sight. It\\u2019s what comes out of the mouth that contaminates the person.\\u201d\\nThen the disciples came and said to him, \\u201cDo you know that the Pharisees were offended by what you just said?\\u201d\\nJesus replied, \\u201cEvery plant that my heavenly Father didn\\u2019t plant will be pulled up. Leave the Pharisees alone. They are blind people who are guides to blind people. But if a blind person leads another blind person, they will both fall into a ditch.\\u201d\\nThen Peter spoke up, \\u201cExplain this riddle to us.\\u201d\\nJesus said, \\u201cDon\\u2019t you understand yet? Don\\u2019t you know that everything that goes into the mouth enters the stomach and goes out into the sewer? But what goes out of the mouth comes from the heart. And that\\u2019s what contaminates a person in God\\u2019s sight. Out of the heart come evil thoughts, murders, adultery, sexual sins, thefts, false testimonies, and insults. These contaminate a person in God\\u2019s sight. But eating without washing hands doesn\\u2019t contaminate in God\\u2019s sight.\\u201d\\nThe post Is gay sex defiling? \\u2013 Matthew 15:10-20 appeared first on Queer Theology.'
