Thanks or clearing that up.

Sure, I'm glad you asked. You are cherry-picking the New Testament in preference to the Old. Even Jesus whom you worship says quite explicitly that he came to fulfill the old laws, not eliminate them, and that not one word will change until "everything is accomplished".

Apparently it was okay to murder gays for a long, long time, according to your god, and then one day your god shows up, in the flesh, and says "hey guys, that's not okay any more." Has the morality of the act changed? Your god has -- according to you, though I don't agree -- changed the moral status of an act, but we're supposed to believe that morality is objective because there is a god who imposes it upon us?
