They seem to turn a blind eye to many things as long as you have a (R) next to your name and promise to hurt the right people. Must have missed that bible verse

Jesus had absolutely nothing to say about gay people. He had an awful lot to say about hypocrisy.
Jesus had absolutely nothing to say about gay people.
Indirectly. By affirming the old testament, Jesus of the Bible condemned the act of sodomy (the act perpetrated by the people of Sodom and Gomorrah).
New testament says:
Think not that I have come to abolish the law and the prophets; I have come not to abolish them but to fulfil them. (Matthew 5:17 RSV)
So let's look at what "the law" according to the Bible says:
Do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman; it is an abomination. (Leviticus 18:22)
In other words, according to Christianity, gay people are sinners for having sex with each other.
Could be fake disinformation but someone once told me that the "man lie with another man" is a mistranslation from the king James ver. and the original was that man should not lie with a child. I never fact checked it full disclosure
I've heard that there are disputed verses in the King James Bible as well (not this one). But at the same time this Bible is quite well established, and as such indicates what the consensus of Christians is (or has been).
I'm not saying it isnt, I just think its funny that these people think theyre somehow following the teachings of Jesus by being bigots when the original Bible (supposedly) says nothing of the sort.
Luckily, gay people don't. Hard to get a penis in a vagina with either two penises or two vaginas.
There is no point in being nit-picky like this.
It's like answering the question, "can you drink a glass of water?", with "no, one cannot drink glass". It's stupid, because everyone understands that question in one way, so there is no point in coming up with a completely new interpretation just to be a contrarian.
as is everyone for being born.
And then the Christians--ones who were alive to see Jesus--decided circumcision could go away. The parts of the old law they choose to keep are arbitrary.
I guess that's a fair point.
