Does anybody really think Jesus had to repeat everything from the Old Testament in his teachings or else we can dismiss it? That would be a pretty odd expectation.

But yet, some of modern Christianity seems to believe : ”Jesus never talked about ________.” If Jesus never talked about [INSERT doctrine/traditional/conservative/disliked BELIEF], then supposedly it has no place in true modern Christianity– and it’s just man-made doctrine.

Does anyone really think that if Jesus didn’t explicitly, directly mention something, it’s not sin? What is sin and how is it defined? 1 John 3:4(KJV)
Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law

Jesus didnt speak about homosexuality, beastiality, rape, child abuse, doing drugs, but that doest make them all okay. Jesus didnt even speak about Paul, but that doesnt mean Paul isnt legit. Jesus did speak about Sexual Morals and sexual immorality in general.

The Gospel accounts don’t pretend to record EVERYTHING Jesus said. We can’t say, “Jesus never mentioned XYZ.” We can only say, “The gospel writers didn’t include anything about it.” Each gospel writer included and emphasized different portions of Jesus’ teaching; they don’t claim to include all of it.
It’s silly to assume that Jesus mentioned every moral issue and theological truth, but he did specifically teach about his purpose in coming, the kingdom of God, and the central meaning of the gospel. So it seems reasonable to expect that the main things would show up coming from Jesus himself.

Jesus didnt come to a create a new religion, he was a Hebrew from the tribe of Judah by linage who followed and taught from the scriptures. If we take Jesus in the gospels seriously, we have to take the rest of the Bible seriously. Jesus, the Word of God, affirmed Scripture as the word of God. You can’t separate its teachings from his.



So saying “Jesus never talked about ____” isn’t a good argument. It doesn’t do much, but allow for false man made doctrines that go against the bible.

What Jesus DID talk about was acting in love in everything. Why are you making this so hard?

Did Jesus say anything about waiting 30 minutes after eating before going for a swim?

The making of this being difficult is because for the fact he didn't.

HUH?

Then these verses aren't Jesus' words?

John 13: 34"A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, even as I have loved you, that you also love one another. 35"By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another."

Mark 12: 32The scribe said to Him, "Right, Teacher; You have truly stated that HE IS ONE, AND THERE IS NO ONE ELSE BESIDES HIM; 33AND TO LOVE HIM WITH ALL THE HEART AND WITH ALL THE UNDERSTANDING AND WITH ALL THE STRENGTH, AND TO LOVE ONE'S NEIGHBOR AS HIMSELF, is much more than all burnt offerings and sacrifices." 34When Jesus saw that he had answered intelligently, He said to him, "You are not far from the kingdom of God." After that, no one would venture to ask Him any more questions.

If being his disciple is to love one another then isn't that acting in love?
