What did Jesus say about homosexuality, exactly? He wasn't keen on divorce, I'll grant you that.

And what about the log in your eye and the speck in another's?

And when the scribes asked Jesus what the most important commandments are, He replied:

The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:

And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.

And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.

I think there is a good and fruitful conversation to be had about what following those commandments actually means in this day and age. What does love mean? Who is my neighbour? We all have so much to learn from one another as we walk together. But you miss out on the conversation if you assume that anyone who doesn't agree with your version is not following Christ.

Well when he met a gay couple, where one was dangerously ill, he healed him and blessed them.

But you'd only know that if you read the Greek.
