Some refer to biblical verses that condemn homosexuality while they ignore similar verses that condemn such things as wearing clothes made of two types of cloth or eating shellfish. To justify their beliefs, some say there are moral laws in the Bible, which never change, and other types of laws in the Bible, which can change. However, the Bible does not make these distinctions.
In his Sermon on the Mount, Jesus said, "Till heaven and earth pass, not one jot or one tittle shall pass from the law," and he condemned those would break "one of these least commandments …" Apparently Jesus gave all the laws equal importance.
Some believe that Christianity supplanted the Mosaic Law, but there is no place in the Bible that says it only supplanted certain Mosaic laws and not others. Quoting biblical verses to condemn homosexuals or other people or behaviors with which you do no agree, while ignoring other verses that condemn behaviors in which you participate is hypocrisy.
