The Gospels: What Remains Unsaid Can Be As Important As What Is Said

Dear John,

What remains unsaid can be as important -- or more important -- than what is said.

Notably, Jesus said nothing about homosexuality. (He said nothing about abortion either but that discussion is for another day.)

Consider: "Evangelicals Are Changing Their Minds On Gay Marriage"

Similarly, professed Christians are singularly adept at avoiding what IS said.

Heard any of these passages proclaimed from the pulpit?

"Love Your Enemies. Do Good To Those Who Hate You"
