Quick takeaways
Jesus’ teachings are meant to affirm the entirety of Scripture, emphasizing the importance of understanding his words within the broader biblical narrative.
Attempts to isolate Jesus from discussions on morality misrepresent his teachings, as his implicit endorsement of Old Testament laws addresses issues like homosexuality.
Deep dives
The Interconnection of Jesus's Words and the Bible
Jesus explicitly indicates that his teachings fulfill the entirety of the scriptures, emphasizing that his words should lead believers to understand and accept the rest of the Bible. He asserts that the scriptures cannot be broken and even commissions Peter to guide others, reinforcing the authority of the apostles and their writings. Peter, in turn, recognizes Paul's letters as scripture, thereby integrating them into the broader biblical narrative. Consequently, anyone attempting to isolate Jesus’s words from the rest of the scripture undermines Jesus’s own intention of affirming the whole of biblical doctrine.
Understanding Jesus's Silence on Homosexuality
Jesus did not specifically address homosexuality, primarily because it was not a relevant issue for his Jewish audience, who already viewed it as a sin. His silence reflects an implicit affirmation of the Old Testament's stance on the matter, as he validated the scripture that condemns homosexual behavior. In contrast, Paul's letters were directed at Gentiles, who lacked the moral framework of the Jewish community, hence he directly addressed the immorality of homosexual acts. This consistent approach across the scriptures demonstrates that trying to exclude Jesus from the biblical dialogue on morality ultimately misrepresents his teachings.

Clarifying the Authority of Scripture and Jesus's Teachings
This is not a video primarily about LGBT stuff. It's about Jesus. It's about not letting interest groups tell a fake story about a fake Jesus and thereby highjack the Lord of all creation to teach some ideology that He would never have supported. Historically, theologically, and logically, it's just not right to say such things.
