Jesus said he didn't come to abolish the law. It's amusing that Christians don't think the law applies to them.
That's right, jeremy, he didn't come to abolish it; he came to fulfil (complete) it. As such, it no longer applies to Christians as the law was the foundation of the relationship between God and the Jews. Christians have a different relationship with God - hence the
New Testament (Covenant). As I'm sure you'll agree new covenants supersede old ones.
So all that stuff about abominating gays doesn't apply to you? I wish you'd tell all the other Christians that.
Where, within the New Covenant, is there anything about 'abominating gays', jeremy? I accept that there are a small number of so-called Christians who seem to have added this practice to their Bibles - eg Westboro Baptist - but I think you'll find that, even in the past, very few abominated the individual, abominating the behaviour instead.
This approach is, in part, why so many of the efforts to rehabilitate prisoners run by Christian groups have a higher than average success rate - the person remains of value; the behaviour is what is questioned.
