The evening after the massacre at Orlando's Pulse nightclub, a California pastor took the opportunity to preach that "God said: When you find a sodomite, put them to death.'" A video of the sermon was uploaded by the church, then deleted "for violating YouTube's policy on hate speech." A copy of the video uploaded by someone else, describing the sermon as "despicable," was allowed to remain.

If you openly speak and act the opposite of what Christ spoke, you're not a Christian, you are a "wolf in sheep's clothing."
Right, except that the bible contains so many fun things and interpretations that you can use it to justify just about anything. This is just a No True Christian argument.
Some people say only the New Testament matters anymore, but there is also plenty of debate about that. It's also not as if the New Testament doesn't have its share of evil shit.
Jesus said to love everyone and judge no one, and that he who lives by the deadly weapon dies by the deadly weapon (statistics back him up, gun owners are murdered twice as often as unarmed people).
And also supposedly told slaves to obey their masters. Let's not ignore all the bad parts.
