Jesus Never Discussed Homosexuality Publicly, Says Megachurch Pastor of His Refusal to Talk Openly About Gay Marriage

Hillsong NYC Pastor Carl Lentz commented in a recently aired CNN feature on his megachurch why he refuses to publicly express his position on homosexuality by noting that Jesus, who "was in the thick of an era where homosexuality … was wildly prevalent," did not address the issue "on the record in front of people."

Lentz made the remark when CNN reporter Poppy Harlow noted in an interview with the pastor and his wife, Laura Lentz, "Every article I've read about you guys says you decline to discuss gay marriage."

"Yes, it's a misquote because I do discuss it, just not the way people want me to," said Lentz. "When it comes to homosexuality, I refuse to let another human being or a media moment dictate how we approach it. Jesus was in the thick of an era where homosexuality, just like it is today, was widely prevalent. And I'm still waiting for someone to show me the quote were Jesus addressed it on the record in front of people. You won't find it because he never did."

The couple shared that gay men and women were welcomed at Hillsong NYC, with Lentz stating, "We have a lot of gay men and women in our church and I pray we always do."

Mrs. Lentz added, "It's not our place to tell anyone how they should live, it's – that's their journey."

Why does that church exists if it is not trying to save the souls of sinners?

Question:
Who saves the souls of sinners ?

G-d or man ?

YHvH's WORD says it is YHvH who is salvation.

Jesus speaks about marriage:
“Haven’t you read,” he replied, “that at the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female,’ and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’? So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.” Matthew's Gospel, chapter 19

Nothing else to be explained here. And if any so-called Christian says "well Jesus NEVER spoke out against gay marriage / homosexuality! Jesus would support gay marriage, it's love!" ...show them this verse. It's as plain as day.

"Pastors" like Carl Lentz are simply selling out for the money his homosexual loving congregation provide for him. He probably skips over the verses about false teachings as well.

I appeal to you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and create obstacles contrary to the doctrine that you have been taught; avoid them. For such persons do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own appetites, and by smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the naive.
Romans 16:17-18

[Torahman]

Grace and Law don’t mix? They are not opposites. The Torah is all about Grace, it’s full of grace and love. That is a false dichotomy posited by the likes of Marcion. Read Jeremiah 31:31 the “new Covenant is the Torah written on your heart. That’s what Grace does.
