But for Christians, Christianity replaced the old Jewish law. That was kind of the point. That's why Christians can eat pork. There is no one religion that the bible definitively speaks for. Edit: I mean, you can't understate what a game changer Christianity was. People can debate what a sin and what isn't based on this or that text, and what the punishment should be, but the new testament swept most of that away. Jesus was more into, "we're all sinners, so don't be an asshole and think you're better than some other sinner." He certainly wasn't preaching against homosexuality and gay marriage.
