This is a genuine question, because one of the reasons I left Christianity (I was raised Christian) was that I didn’t like how they hate gay people, are pro-life, etc., and overall are pretty hypocritical. But as I got older, I realized there are Catholics who are pro-choice, aren’t homophobic, and don’t have an issue with having sex before marriage, etc., and basically are not stereotypical religious people at all. But I have to ask—how do they justify this? I mean, it must be very confusing, because if the Bible does say being gay is a sin and you are not homophobic and are pro-LGBTQ+, then you are basically saying sinning is okay, which goes against their very religion. How about Catholics who swear? Basically, how do liberal Christians/Catholics justify their religion? Why be religious if you aren’t going to go all in?

    lol it’s funny how you guys pick and choose what’s relevant based on a personal idea.

    If the bible can be nitpicked so much, it clearly isn’t a source of truth for the divine.

    “I came not to destroy the law but to fulfill it.”

    Also being a Jew - Jesus’ teachings would have been added on top of all the genocidal, self-victimization of the Old Testament Jews.
