While it is shown in the New Testament of the Holy Scriptures that Jesus Christ doesn't make any specific mention of the sin of homosexuality and of abortion, it doesn't mean that He was silent on such issues and therefore deemed them acceptable along with other immoral acts. Many people have gone on record saying that because Jesus did not come out flatly and say, "Homosexuality and abortion is wrong!", that it meant that it was no big deal, and that there was nothing consequently wrong with them. Anybody who has taken that path of belief is in serious jeopardy if they think Jesus was silent about these sins and any other apparent immoral sins.
What we have to understand is, that regardless of the enormity or smallness of the sin , sin is sin. One sin is not better or worse than the other. All sin is defined as violation of God's laws and His righteousness.Taken from the Epistle of James of the New Testament of the Holy Scriptures, the author who identifies himself as the bondservant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ makes this inspired statement, "For whoever shall keep the whole law, and yet stumble in one point, he is guilty of all. For He who said, 'Do not commit adultery', also said, 'Do not murder'. Now if you do not commit adultery, but you commit murder, you have become a transgressor of the whole law."(James 2:10,11). See, there is no exclusivity concerning sin against God. If only one sin is mentioned by Jesus in a particular situation, that does not mean other sins are left out. We may have noticed that God makes very detailed mention of sins in the Old Testament which are not specifically mentioned nor apparent in the New Testament. Does that mean that God changed His mind and told His Son to remain silent and no longer view such sins as sins anymore? No, not at all. What is deemed to be sin by God will always be sin, regarless of the place, time or age. God and Jesus are not opposed to each other. They're united as one in agreement, purpose and nature.
Secondly, we seem miss the fact that the events of the ministry of Jesus Christ, recorded in the New Testament Gospels according to Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, did not necessitate it as a reason to make mention of such issues as homosexuality and abortion because the situations and settings did not call for it. The events that were mentioned had served to testify that indeed Jesus was the Christ. Each author shared various perspectives from what they were able to see from their point of view. We also have to understand that, naturally, they couldn't record every detail of daily occurances, but nonetheless, they were inspired to share whatever testimony that they had of such an extraordinary one as Jesus Himself. Therefore, certain things Jesus did were recorded, and many other things he did were not recorded, so how are we to make a case that Jesus was silent to the most complex issues of our day? In John 21:25, John states, "And there are also many other things that Jesus did, which if they were written one by one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that would be written."
Many of us get great satisfaction in condemning and putting others down for grave sins without expressing an ounce of compassion, mercy nor love. Love is the greatest commandment of the Holy Scriptures of God. God's ultimate declaration of love was manifested in how Jesus lived His life, served and loved His community. Thus, He became the sacrifice to free us from the bondage of sin and of the fear of death. So we find that the Scriptures often testified of the compassion and mercy that Jesus showed to the sinful ones rather than to focus so much on how wrong the sin was, and indeed many repented after being shocked out of their senses as to how Jesus responded to them. Take the event of Jesus being called to condemn a woman who committed adultery for example: If we take notice, we see a couple of things hidden from this situation. The person with whom she committed the act is not mentioned nor even brought forward, nor is there any detailed story about her daily lifestyle. The focus was on how Jesus would handle such a situation(John 8:3-11). He showed great compassion for the woman by shutting up her accusers. No one could condemn her because all of them had sinned in many points. But, the One who never sinned, who ultimately would have been the One to cast stones, did not condemn her. Though He told her not to sin anymore, He sent her on her journey having mercy upon her. Was Jesus silent about the sin of adultery? No, but He handled it differently than most other extremely judgemental and condemning ones. There's no doubt that there were other similar situations in where Jesus, being merciful and loving, still never kept silent toward sin. The Scriptures record that He went about teaching, healing, and doing good wherever He went. He forgave sins while He did all these things. He was never silent about sin as we count somebody is being silent toward immoral issues of our day. It's about reading into how the authors of the Gospels were inspired to portray such a loving Savior.
Lastly, we have to be mature, and have our mental, intellectual, and spiritual facilities opened up to this popular concept known as reading between the lines. What this means is, just because it is apparent that Jesus did not literally come out and say, "Abortion is wrong!" "Homosexuality is wrong!", it does not literally mean that He no longer thought it was sin. Reading between the lines means that we would only have to look on His view of other related subjects to know and understand that He was and is never silent about homosexuality nor abortion as these two are obviously what we are focusing on. Okay, now if we were to wonder what Jesus thought of abortion, all we'd have to do is look at what He said concerning the sin of murder. Any type of murder is same murder. Whether it's done it from the heart or physically through hating and killing someone. If we were to wonder how Jesus expressed His views against homosexuality, all we'd have to do is look on His views of marriage and His definition of a husband and a wife. It would go something like this, reading from Mark 10:6-10: Jesus says, "BUT FROM THE BEGINNING OF CREATION, GOD MADE THEM MALE AND FEMALE. 'For this reason a MAN shall leave his MOTHER AND FATHER and cleave to his WIFE.....Whoever divorces HIS WIFE and marries another commits adultery against HER. Read between the lines right there. Marriage is between a man and a woman. A husband is a man. A wife is a woman. The case has been established. The Lord and Savior is never silent on any sin because it is direct and automatic violation of God's perfect laws. Time, generation, and age will never change God's view on sin. The most important thing we should always need to know above all is that "God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son. The one who believes in Him will not perish but have everlasting life because GOD DID NOT SEND THE SON TO CONDEMN THE SINFUL WORLD, BUT THAT THE SINFUL WORLD THROUGH HIM WOULD BE SAVED". Jesus Christ is the Real Deal and that's all I have to say about that.
