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 (lemmy.world)

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.

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.
