In Jesus' own words, "When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am [he], and [that] I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things." ( John 8 )

We know what God says about homosexuality. You think that Jesus would disobey the teachings of His Father?

Wackykat,

Expanding on what PNM posted.

John 14:10 states that the Father is in Jesus and Jesus is in the Father.

Scripture shows us that Jesus is one with the Father. Jesus is God. God wrote the OT. So Jesus wrote the OT.

So if you want to see where Jesus spoke about homosexuality, Read Lev 18:22 (for example).

Also, the entire NT is given by the inspiration of God. It is written by God using men as his writing instruments. So if you want to see where Jesus talked about homosexuality, read Romans 1:27 (for example).

Not knowing that Jesus is the author of the scriptures is an error in your education that hopefully we've cleared up here. Now lets move on to the error in your understanding.

There is no such thing as a 'gay' teenager. There are teenagers who are afflicted with Same-sex Attraction Disorder (SAD) (evidenced by the practice of homosexual behavior) but there are no teenagers who have homosexual behavior as an immutable characteristic. This behavior occurs as a result of mental disease caused by trauma and is totally curable.

So it is foolishness to talk of 'gay' teenagers as anyting other than teenagers. Jesus would treat these teenagers engaging in sinful behavior the same way he'd treat any other sinful behavior: "Go and sin no more"

Exactly! 1st Corinthians 10:13 says: "No temptation has overtaken you but such as is common to man, and God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what your are able, and with every temptation will provide a way of escape so that you will be able to endure". In other words, we have no inherent, pre-disposition that renders us powerless to overcome sin (practicing homosexual sex or anything else defined as sin).
