Have you ever heard people claim Jesus never said anything about homosexuality?

This is supposed to shut down Christians and make them think they shouldn't care about sexual immorality

because Jesus allegedly never cared enough to say anything about it.

But in today's episode, I'm going to show everything that's wrong with this argument and how you should respond to it.

So my immediate response is just to ask the question,

why does that matter? I then point out the assumption the person is making. If Jesus didn't

condemn something, that means Jesus condoned it. But that's obviously false. Jesus didn't say

anything about incest, beastiality, or child sacrifice, but that doesn't make those

behaviors moral. Even the Episcopalian bishop, Gene Robinson, who's in a legal marriage with

another man, admits that when it comes to Jesus's silence on homosexuality, quote,

one cannot extrapolate affirmation of such relationships from that silence. Robinson instead claims that all,

quote, we can safely and responsibly conclude from Jesus's silence is that he was silent on the issue.

Once again, does that mean all we can safely and responsibly conclude about Jesus' silence on

incest, bestiality, or child sacrifice, is that Jesus was

silent on those issues? No, because you can know what someone thinks about a particular issue

if you know enough about that person's foundational views. And in what comes to Jesus's

foundational views on sexuality, we know that he was the furthest right arch-conservative of his day.

Jesus literally made the Pharisees look like a bunch of liberals.

First, Jesus rooted himself in the morality of the Old Testament.

And we know the Old Testament's prohibitions of homosexual behavior are part of the perpetually binding moral law rather than a temporary ritual law.

Leviticus 1822 that condemns homosexual acts is placed between moral laws, not ceremonial ones.

Verse 20 condemns adultery. Verse 21 condemns child sacrifice, and verse 23 condemns bestiality.
