The problem is centuries of book burning, downright forgery etc make it very, very difficult to know with any precision what Christ actually taught.
Douglas Lockhart's 'The Dark Side of God' makes a heroic attempt to do so and is therefore worth reading. Good luck though with any of the many branches of Christianity accepting the findings of modern biblical scholarship especially since it appears Christ was trying to tell us there's no need to insert religious authority and institutions between the individual and God. Can you imagine Rome swallowing that one without choking to death?

It would have been more interesting had the preacher been beset simultaneously by the group in the video, and a church group like Landover accusing him of being a liberal backslider for not being a Literalist.

Romans 1:26-27
"Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error."
I wonder how "liberal" Christians are spinning that nowadays.

That's not an example of religious failing, bigotry, or the Christian God's lack of genuine love for humanity though, because our house Christians insist otherwise.

What is a 'house Christian'?

As with so much of the Gospels we do not know with anything like certainty how genuine sayings attributed to Christ are.
