Jesus' Teaching on Homosexuality

Jesus' Teaching on Homosexuality
This article is short because Jesus never taught for or against homosexuality. This raises the question, if homosexuality truly is a sin worthy of eternal damnation, as some believe it is, then why didn't Jesus discuss it? He certainly preached at length concerning every other sin listed in 1st Corinthians 6:9-11 and Timothy 1:9-10. Why would he leave this one out?

"God is not the author of confusion" (1st Corinthians 14:33) therefore I cannot see Him leaving out such a 'critical' sin from His discussions. A more plausible explanation is that God's plan of creation. It is only mankind's fears and prejudices that have concocted this monstrous imaginary sin, not God. Jesus talked at great length concerning many other issues such as love, mercy, grace, reaching the lost, the ministry of reconciliation, stewardship, and the healing of body, mind and soul. Yet at times the church seems more preoccupied with a subject Jesus never taught about, than about the matters he did discuss.

Scripture says that when we see Jesus, we have seen the Father (John 14:9; Hebrew 1:3). Since Jesus never talked about the issue, we can deduce that neither Jesus nor the Father is concerned about homosexuality or heterosexuality. Instead, Jesus preached "the good news to the poor and proclaimed "freedom for the captives and recovery of sight for the blind," to "release the oppressed" and proclaimed the "year of the Lord's favor" (Luke 4:18-19) to all who would accept Him. Teaching us that we would do well to focus our thoughts upon Jesus and turn away from the prejudices of men.
