I know this might be sensitive but pls answer with cools heads. I don't really want your OPINIONS; so, can someone confirm the verses below:
3- Do you know the use of usury (interest) is forbidden?
Leviticus 25:36-37: Take thou no usury of him, or increase: but fear thy God; that thy brother may live with thee. Thou shalt not give him thy money upon usury, nor lend him thy victuals for increase.
Psalms 15:5: He that putteth not out his money to usury, nor taketh reward against the innocent. He that doeth these things shall never be moved.
4- Do you disapprove of homosexuality?
Genesis 19:24-25: Then the Lord rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the Lord out of heaven; And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground.

How you know Jesus never taught that? Did you call him just now or what? Well even if Moses taught that; look what Jesus says here:-
Matthew. 5:17-19: "Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled."

You took the meaning literally, figuratively, it refers to all sorts of interest.

You need to understand the scriptures yourself also, It is tlking about a Brother In Christ Or may I say in God, Not to charge interest to another Brother or sister, That is not referring to a bank not charging interest, & Your second question, Yes I am against homosexuals & Lesbians.

We follow as best we can. We are to live by the laws of the land we live in as we are told God places those who are in power over us as we deserve.Usury is wrong but the fact that the economy is now based on credit through the laws of the land we live by it. I do not charge interest on any money I loan. Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed because they would not turn from their way. Christ said come to me as you are and I will heal you. I do not advocate the homosexual life style but any that come to Christ are his to deal with not mine.

Jesus never taught that. Go to the NT. (Luke 6:34-35)
Moses taught that!
