Imagine wiping an entire city off the face of the earth because they just are a bit kinky. That was the loving and just god.
Of course Jesus said to basically throw out the entire old testament and focus on the love one another bits, but it doesn’t seem like the churches caught that
Even then, the whole city? Women and children too? There were no innocents there? Nah I don’t buy it. If god was all powerful he could have selectively smoten.
Jesus absolutely did not say that. He said to follow the law.
Matthew 5:17-20
“Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have come not to abolish but to fulfill. For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth pass away, not one letter, not one stroke of a letter, will pass from the law until all is accomplished. Therefore, whoever breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever does them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven."
