He never taught on something he is against it was always meant from the beginning of time to be man, and woman. to populate the earth if you had any other way then it is very wrong to have any other way. as for turn the other cheek if you read the the beginning of the passage you would of found what Jesus said"if someone hits on the right cheek the offer the left also. by turning the other chek he tells us to forgive start a new. no Jesus never taught on homosexuality there wasn't any till later when people got more like satan less like God.

He said if a man strike you on the cheek, turn your face, as to offer up the other cheek. If a man steals your coat, give him your cloak also. If a man asks you to walk a mile with him, walk two.
This is the love that Christians should be expressing for mankind.
Homosexuality is a lustful sin, similar to adultery, etc. Homosexuals engage in a pratice that God does not like, but they are no worse than any of us were before we found Christ, for all who are without Christ are sinners. People who use the Bible as a means to promote hurting anyone physically are just bigots, and unknowledgeable in the ways of God. All sin is punishable by death, but all sin can be remedied by Jesus.

LOL there are ONLY 4 cheeks to turn.
Jesus said also do not RESIST evil.
unless this translation is a corruption that means the same thing as Harm NO ONE.
yet he also said a parable of salt loosing its savor. this might indicate that a person who is nothing but door mat will be walked over and is good for nothing!
if a person speaks their mind they will be KILLED in the name of satanism but will call such peope blasphemer and such the like of child molesters. Whenonly their lies are predominate

No,he was saying to ignore the person who is hurting you.This has nothing to do with his teachings on homosexuality.

Actually it is because at the time it was illegal to do anything with your left hand as that was the hand you use to wipe yourself. So when they said, "Turn the other cheek" it is so that if someone slaps you in the face you can offer for them to do it with their left hand only if they want to hit you..... and they can go to jail for it.

no.....Has nothing to do with the bottom. Lets read the whole chapter. So we won't misunderstand the verse.
Talking about forgiving your fellow men for mistakes.

I think you should read that section over again. It should be clear.
