Yet the OT is still in valid effect. Most of the Christian rules - the "613 mitzvot" as known in Judaism, where they are more significant what with Jewish identity focusing on lineage from the Israelites, but still many of them valid by Christian denominations even if mostly shortened to just the 10 in mainstream discourse - are derived from the OT. Christianity has many more figures than Jesus, so this in of itself is not convincing. In addition, "can be interpreted as" is weasel wording and the whole problem to begin with. Furthermore, that some denominations do not regard it as sinful does not mean that it is Biblically the case. We must concur there is such a thing as heterodoxy. Since Christianity regards all humans as being intrinsically sinful, it may be the case some denominations do not consider homosexuality grave enough a sin to deny them becoming ministers, provided of course they suppress their sinful urges as is customary to the religion.
