It's taken me years of thinking about it and constantly reading, but I think the entire point of the sermon on the mount - where most of what Jesus considers sins come from - are not so much about the actual sins but about Jesus letting everyone know that He has authority over scripture, the law, and the prophets; ergo, He is God in the flesh. He's clarifying the commands that God Himself gave unto people. God told the newly formed nation of Israel that in justice, it was an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. Jesus, however, told the people that if someone slaps them on the cheek, they should turn the other also. I think the entire sermon, including the bit on the laws and the prophets, follow this theme. Jesus said that not one word of the law will be done away until all is fulfilled - and that He came not to destroy, but to fulfill. Further, in other parts of the Gospels, He again establishes His authority over the law and essentially says that the essence of the law is to love the Lord with everything and to love neighbor as one's self.
In short, I believe that by submitting to King Jesus and letting Him be our advocate by having us take on His righteous, perfect life, as well as letting Him take the punishment for our pitiful, rebellious life, then we fulfill the law through Him. Further, it is by honoring His commandments to love the Lord with all our might and our neighbor as ourselves that we may walk with Him.

You are not thinking. Before the crucifixion and resurrection, the ceremonial law had not been fulfilled. Christ fulfilled the Law, which means that sillnoracticing the old ceremonial laws is the same as telling Him that His sacrifice wasn’t enough. Stop being willful.

This. Dispensationalism.
Jaxson Ramirez
Dispensationalism is a terrible pro-kike heresy.

Deviant sexuality destroys the mind as well as the spirit.

Thou Shalt Not Kill, user Are sodomites generally unclean? Of course. But so were you, before Christ entered your life. Do not forget that many of the saints, such as Augustine, Jerome, etc, lived, as the Church puts it, "loose lives" prior to their conversion (I heard once that Jerome practiced, as a young man, some of the homosexual behaviors of Roman youth - but I've never seen that cited, so it seems to be just a rumor). Convert them above all else; to kill them is to damn them forever, which isn't in your domain - if they continue in their sin, God Eternal shall damn them eternally. Protect the children, sure. But thou shalt not kill
David James
I heard since they're reprobates who won't repent it's better to kill them early so they stop accumulating punishment in hell.

Well, some are reprobates, sure. But a great deal can be converted if you treat them with pity instead of the hate they are used to (especially in the United States, where prots yell at gays like Pharisees on crack). Disarm them with your pity for their sinful nature, preach to them, and maybe they repent. If they don't, then they are reprobate, and they shall get what they get. It is a very sad thing, but it is unfortunately the eternity some poor souls choose. Still, however, it is their choice to sin, and it is your choice to sin. Again, thou shalt not kill - this is a part of the natural law. Sin cannot end sin - only Christ may do that. I'm not a priest, of course, and if a Church document disagrees with me, I'll be more than happy to retract this. But my understanding is that the Church is against murder in all forms (abortion, euthanasia, capital punishment, and, yes, the killing of reprobate sodomites)
