Christians feel the need to persecute homosexuals? Jesus said, I come to fulfill the law, and not to abolish the law, and everyone must follow ALL the laws and ALL the prophets, in the fulfillment passages of Matt 5:17-20, so if that is the case, then homosexuality would be considered wrong. However, Christians misinterpret these passages, and claim that "fulfillment" means Jesus freed them from the law, and that the laws no longer apply, even though jesus said they apply until "heaven and earth disappear." Some Christians claim that only the 10 commandments apply.
The overwhelming majority of the above mentioned christians claim that the laws were fulfilled, and also claim homosexuality is wrong.--when there is no biblical foundation as they claim the laws no longer apply Shouldn't they just love them instead?
It makes no difference what Paul says in Romans, as he was addressing the issue of prostitution, he is not making reference to homosexuality. The word homosexual does not appear in the bible.
No overgenralization. The question makes reference to those christians who DO do this, and the overhwelming majority of christians do believe homosexuality is wrong, which is why it is difficult for me to fathom why a homosexual would choose to be christian, since Jesus said to follow ALL the laws and ALL the prophets, and those laws include persecuting homosexuals.
