"If you have, actually, read the Bible, they did not follow it then, not even Jesus or the hard line Jews. It was hygiene law for those in the desert."

You can't be serious. I'm Jewish, and I've read the bible, and it's a rule for all Jews to not eat any shellfish, not have sex with your wife during her period (or a week after it's over), not to wear clothes with mixed threads, and everything else it says there. The shellfish thing as part of Kashruth, or Kosher. Shellfish isn't kosher. Religious Jews don't eat it. Mixed threads are called Shatnes, and religious Jews don't wear it; there are even experts trained to study fabric under a microscope to check for these things. It had nothing to do with hygiene in the desert, as that, is, utter, nonsense. Not that Jews are what we're arguing about; I just thought I'd point out that you don't know what you're talking about.

Furthermore: http://www.religionfacts.com/homosex...ristianity.htm
"The Bible is the Christian sacred text, regarded as the ultimate authority by all denominations. It consists of the Old Testament (roughly equivalent to the Jewish Tanakh) and the New Testament. While the New Testament is the specifically Christian part of the Bible, both parts are regarded as equally authoritative."

That was just after a short google search, first result I got. I could cite more if you like.
