    Because Jesus was all about love and acceptance of your fellow humans.

    Except when he was rebuking a person for having leprosy, wouldn’t heal a child until her mother groveled at his feet and called herself a racial slur, specifically told people that he would be an instrument of strife and anger, and spoke in parables so that people would not understand and go to hell. Here is a fun fact, every single time Jesus is mentioned in Matthew with more than one other person in the scene someone has a sword. I get it, you cherry picked a bit of John and Luke but if you sit down and read the thing cover-to-cover he is totally different.

    Oh should we also mention Paul? You know the other guy in the NT. The man who gets credit for about 60% of the text. Tell me what did he say about what happens to gay people again or people who don’t give enough charity or who enjoy sex.

      1 Corinthians 6:9-11 New King James Version 9 Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor [a]homosexuals, nor [b]sodomites, 10 nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were [c]sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God.

        You might want to look up the sexuality of the King James behind the New King James Version.

          Why? It changes nothing. The Bible is against homosexuality and it is one of the few things it is consistent on. Who cares that some King who wanted a different translation was bisexual? It won’t make the text not say what it says.

          You know it wasn’t even the first English language translation of the thing?

            I’m well aware of the history. It’s a garbage translation, and the passages quoted above are one of the things that make it garbage.
