    It does not

    36 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?”

    37 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’[a] 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’[b] 40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”

    Matthew 22:36-40

    If the second greatest commandment is to love your neighbor as yourself, then hate has no place in Christianity.

      So, the conclusion then should be that any person hating another person because of whatever and “basing” it on believe/bible is not a christin buy a heretic, right?

        Basically, almost all the hateful stuff comes from the old testament, which Jesus went, “That’s invalid now”

        Really, it would be a lovely religion without all the people

          But, did he?

          Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish but to fulfill.

          I’ve often seen that as a response, when someone claims that Jesus wiped the shitty Old T nonsense away.

          That’s the trouble with the bible, it’s a book written by a bunch of men with competing interests over thousands of years ago, and honestly could have used a team of diligent editors, but has been held up as the infallible word of some dude sitting in the clouds.

            Fulfill it, as in complete it. It’s done. With his sacrifice he formed a new covenant. He goes on to say that anyone who wants to follow any part of the law of Moses must follow the whole law of Moses*. That means that anyone judging someone for old testament laws is a sinner themselves for eating pork or shrimp, for wearing clothing of mixed fabrics, and 611 other laws that are quite difficult to follow in a modern world.

            *Galatians 5:4
