Unless you count the fact that he said not one jot or tittle of the law would be repealed or whatever. LOL, I love that word, 'tittle'.
Matthew 5:17-20:
Quote:17 Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. 18 For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. 19 Therefore anyone who sets aside one of the least of these commands and teaches others accordingly will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20 For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven.
While Yeshua bar Yusef doesn't specifically mention homosexuality, he is explicit that every Mosaic law has to be followed, in full, for one to be christian*.
*Well to be honest, not to be christian but to be a Yeshuite. Christianity didn't form until the 2nd Century CE and didn't approach it's current form until the 4th.
And wasn't that not supposed to be the name of the messiah? Wasn't is supposed to be some dude called emmanuel? How does a fuck-up that big get ignored?
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?

There is no better way to convey the least amount of information in the greatest amount of words than to try explaining your religious views.
