What did Jesus say about homosexuals. I’ve checked the entire New Testament and can’t find a single thing one way or the other.

has anybody ever found something in the Gospels that Jesus said about homosexuals?

Just to clarify, I am asking what Jesus said. To be sure, Scripture is against homosexuality. I was just looking to see if I missed anything Jesus said about it in the Gospels. I can’t find a thing. It just strikes me as weird that Jesus never made mention of it, unless I missed it.

Rev 21:7-8 touches upon the issue doctrinally.

Review Romans Chapter 1, 1Cor 6:9-13, Col 3:5-10.

Don’t become too preoccupied with the particular sin. That will tempt one towards legalism instead of remaining in faith in Christ and what He provides. Instead, consider why these particular types of sins are grouped together with general consequences.

Also redirect your thinking from a legalist perspective of sin, towards understanding God has a Plan for each and every person and ANYTHING, good or evil, NOT in that particular Plan for us at the right time and place, also falls in the category of sin or ‘Missing the Mark/Target’.

Sexual immorality is obviously sinful, but not all sins are immoral. Many things are permitted, but not all things are expedient.

Same passage in 1Cor 6:9,..12
1Co 6:12
(12) All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.

While personal sins are an issue in human life, because they attack human freedom and human relationships, personal sin is not an issue in salvation or the last judgment.

The emphasis is upon our freedom and righteousness.

Sin is anything that is unrighteous. Nothing God does is unrighteous. By definition, He is righteousness. When He provides us our gender/sex, it is part of His Plan. If we attempt to go against that Plan, we merely create more problems than we perceive are present. If we are His, He disciplines us. From Rom 1, some who were given the opportunity to come to Him, instead reject Him, and He even turns them over to their own vile affections and their consequences.
