    The New Testament says that homosexuality is a “shameful lust” (Romans 1:26), a “shameful act,” an abandonment of “natural relations” (Romans 1:27), a “wrongdoing” (1 Corinthians 6:9), and “sexual immorality and perversion” (Jude 1:7). Homosexuality carries a “due penalty” (Romans 1:27), “is contrary to the sound doctrine” (1 Timothy 1:10), and is listed among the sins that bar people from the kingdom of God (1 Corinthians 6:9). Despite the attempts of some to downplay these verses, the Bible could not be clearer that homosexuality is a sin against God.

            These are both (the quotes I provided, Jesus’s teachings) parts of the bible. They contradict each other. Ergo, as I said, the bible is contradicting itself.

            If you want to filter the bible to be “just the teachings of Jesus” that’s your prerogative, but the vast majority of Christians are not doing that, and the bible is provided and preached in it’s full, unabridged format at churches across the world.

                I made the point several comments ago, it hasn’t changed. The point I made was that there are a ton of explicit homophobic teachings in the bible.

                if you want to follow it, it explicitly prohibits peolle using it to condemn others.

                As I said, this is not broadly agreed upon by a majority of Christians, yet you keep stating it like it is. I leave it to Christians to pick and choose the word of God much as they ever have but no one of them gets to call the shots on bible interpretation any more than another.
