(Jesus, the Word)
A truth, forever a mystery to
and hidden from the unbeliever.
But the weak argument is that JESUS didn’t, therefore it must not be important or He condones it.

That’s super weak argument! Jesus really does not list sins at all. So using this argument, pretty much everything goes.
Understood - I was just commenting that it wasn’t mentioned in the 10 Commandments - every sin mentioned in them had also occurred before they ere given to Moses.
True.
I was thinking of the apparent lack of punishment of sin if it is not called out beforehand.
Romans 5:13 King James Version.
For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.
Jesus Christ IS the Word of God.
Here, they are actually making an appeal to God's Word to excuse their sin.
Rom 1:22-27
Claiming to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things.
Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves, because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen.
For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error.
(emphasis added for quick readers)
... and MORE -- to support my last reply: John 1:1 and 1:14
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.
