Old Testament: Lev 18:22, Gen 19:1-7, Judges 19:22-23, Jude 7:7
New Testament: 1 Cor 6:9, Romans 1:26-27
And your accusation about Hypocrisy in eating pork etc:
Laws of Moses superseded: Gal 3:23-25, Romans 10:4, Col 2:14, Col 2:16-17, Romans 6:14-15
by New Testament principles: Acts 15:28,29 and Acts 10:9-16
Luke 6:34–35 - And if you lend to those from whom you expect repayment, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, expecting to be repaid in full. But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked.
I hear a lot of anti gay preaching but no preaching against charging interest. Cafeteria Christianity indeed.
It is also super weird to hear Christians say that the Old Testament is superseded but then keep quoting it when it’s convenient.
The law against charging interest was under Moses’ law so it was abolished along with the rest when Jesus died. Useful principles added, covering not interest specifically, but condemning greed (which is foundational to late stage capitalism…); 1 Tim 6:10, Matt 6:24
There are plenty of other examples of modern Christians picking and choosing though. Starting with ignoring the above call to charity (if we read it that way). There are many calls to give freely, yet most modern Christian’s are content with pretty minor giving overall. Or we could talk about how “turn the other cheek” aligns with the distinct non-pacifism that permeates modern Christianity. Or we could talk about taking oaths, divorce, head coverings by women in church, embrace of community property. Etc.
Christian scholars regularly debate how to interpret portions of the Bible. I’m not sure what they are doing if it’s clear and easy to adhere to.
