Quote From: tulseyjoeAs a Believer in Jesus the Christ, I do not self-identify by the Syrian Greek-speaking pagan created hateful epithet, "Christian," when I refer to the "Old Testament" which Jesus himself called the "Old Covenant," I am referring to the writings which the Jews consider to be their Scripture.
All of The Jewish writings written before 30 AD were referred to as the Old Covenant by Jesus himself. He also referred to the 1st 5 books, traditionally called the books of Moses by many, as the "Law."
In a way, the "Law" was the same as the Old "Covenant." For those who wish to be believers in Jesus the Christ, they are not required to obey the Pre-Jesus Covenant-Law. But, Jesus said that those who wished to live by the LAW given before he came would be judged by that LAW. He did not do away with that LAW; but, his new Covenant-Law, aka New Testament (not the Bible Collection, but, his commands) was a higher LAW which made the Jewish Law not important for His Followers.
Christians, especially those who think homosexuality is a sin and say "Because My Bible says so," pick and choose which parts of the LAW in Pre-Jesus time they want to live by. Never mind the fact that they commit lots of those "abominations" listed in the book of Leviticus almost every day.
As you judge, so shall you be judged - of course the people who live by the law would be judged by the law because that's karma. What you sow you reap. An eye for an eye. Those who follow the consciousness of those laws become a part of that system of thinking and invoke those laws into their own lives. They judge other by those laws and they are judged by the same laws because that is how they live and choose.
People just love to judge others and hate on those who aren't following the rules they adopt in their own lives. It's sad, they don't realize how far from love they really are when their mind is full of judgement.
