Are there New Testament Scriptures concerning sodomy?

Romans 1:26 Because they do this, God has given them over to shameful passions. Even the women pervert the natural use of their sex by unnatural acts. Romans 1:27 In the same way the men give up natural sexual relations with women and burn with passion for each other. Men do shameful things with each other, and as a result they bring upon themselves the punishment they deserve for their wrongdoing.


Why would Mark's Gospel appeal to the Romans?

A:Most Romans could not understand Greek, so it would not have appealed directly, but in translation. By the time Mark was written, approximately 70 CE, we know from Paul's Epistle to the Romans that there was already a thriving Christian community in Rome, although this was at least temporarily dispersed by Nero, who accused the Roman Christians of starting the Great Fire of Rome. We know very little about the theology being taught by the earlier Christians in Rome, but Mark provided a compelling story of success, then failure, despair and hope. At the same time, Mark's Gospel is careful not to apportion blame for the crucifixion of Jesus to the Roman governor, Pontius Pilate, making it clear that he was a reluctant judge, who committed Jesus to crucifixion under duress. Mark further endears itself to the Romans by stating, "Give unto Caesar, that which is Caesar's..." (Mark 12:17). Mark's story was clearly not a threat to the Roman empire, and it was safe for Romans to associate with the gospel.
