"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.
(Where in this can be read you can hate gays???)
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.
