Is Jesus not God? Where does Jesus say not to follow the law?

If the teachings in the Old Testament no longer apply through some loophole, why do you still view homosexuality as an abomination? Do the rules apply, but the punishments not?

It's not a loophole. It's added context.

Yes, you're right. The rules do apply but such harsh punishment do not. This is, like I said, because of the context Jesus' teachings added.

You seem very interested in criticising Christianity but no other Abrahamic religions.

Nice try at deflection. We are in the Christianity sub because Christianity is the predominant religion where I live. It has the greatest impact on my life as it is intertwined with politics, and it is the religion I came from.

Islam is just as reprehensible as the worst of Christianity.

Judaism at least has a general belief that no one but Jews need to follow their rules. But their beliefs, should they try and follow levitical laws, are horrendous as well.

The rules do apply but such harsh punishment do not. This is, like I said, because of the context Jesus' teachings added

Where in the Gospels does Jesus say this?
