"Jesus would be surrounded by gays prostitutes and drug dealers?
Have you read Leviticus?"
Bang. There goes your credibility. Leviticus predates Christ. Christ was regularly in the presence of the marginalized including prostitutes (woman at the well). If you've read the Bible, in particular the NT with an eye towards historical context, you'd know this.

  Excepting the Fact that Jesus said he was not here to change the OT laws. That we were to still follow them.
  (I have read the Bible. Cover to cover 3 times. Plan to do so again this fall. Even Books like Numbers that most people think drag on.)

    "We who are Jews by birth and not 'Gentile sinners' know that a man is not justified by observing the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by observing the law, because by observing the law no one will be justified." Gal 2:15-16, NIV

      37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
      38 This is the first and great commandment.
      39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
      40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

        I never said you can or even should hate them.

        The Old Testament is irrelevant, except that it provides historical perspective.
        The New Testament is the word of God. Jesus preached tolerance.

        Tolerance is the least of it, and passive. We are commanded to LOVE.
