“Jesus never said one word about homosexuality, never said one word about civil marriage or abortion,” said Dr. Edgar to CBS News . . . "

And the reason he didn't was that no one in Jewish society was advocating any of those things; they were not matters that were in dispute. The fact that he said nothing indicates his agreement with standard Jewish views on those matters; it does not imply dissent from those views.

You are correct. Paul had to address these issues when he preached to the Gentiles because perverse practices were going on among the Gentiles.
