“Why does he eat with tax collectors and sinners?” On hearing this, Jesus replied, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”
So ironically if homosexuality IS a sin; then these are the people Jesus came for, spent time with, and calls
Tax collectors in this context refers to Jews who consorted with Romans to effectively extort from their own countrymen
> When you say "homosexuality" do you mean homosexual proclivities, or homosexual acts? It's an important nuance. For example, Judiasm/Christianity/Islam teaches...
Jesus: “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart”
He says it is bad to desire something bad. This isn't playng with nuance. Slightly later he says: “Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.” A tough call, but then the writer of half the NT was a hater and murderer of Chrstians -- Acts 9 describes how he met Jesus and was accepted/forgiven
> And... it also condemns masturbation, marrying foreigners, eating fish, letting menstruating women inside the city limits and mixing fabrics.
* Masturbation: I'm not sure where this could be from
* Fish: "Everything in the waters that has fins and scales, whether in the seas or in the rivers, you may eat." (Leviticus 11)
Etc. But actually we are both being anti-biblical here. Sure, there are detailed and unusual laws, but God frequently and directly asks people to focus on other things:
“But give justice to the weak and the fatherless; maintain the right of the afflicted and the destitute.”
Or Jesus: “Woe to you [religious teachers]. Hypocrites! For you are careful to tithe even the tiniest income from your herb gardens, but you ignore the more important aspects of the law--justice, mercy, and faithfulness.”
And many more... To be wrapped up in the law of what is right or wrong --even homosexuality-- is to 100% miss what the Bible teaches
“If righteousness comes through the law, then Christ died for nothing.” (Galatians 2)
