      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.

    It’s just news and culture bubbles. Evangelicals don’t know that they’re supposed to be mad, so they aren’t. If Fox News told them to feel upset about trump doing trump things, it would take less than a week for the pitchforks to turn toward him.

    Edit: just noticed the community. Nice lmao
