You’re entitled to your interpretation of scripture, but Christ’s teachings centered far more on compassion, humility, and loving others than on condemning people. A rainbow symbol used by LGBTQ people doesn’t erase its biblical meaning any more than wedding rings erase earlier cultural meanings.
The rainbow has had many meanings across cultures and history long before modern LGBTQ symbolism. Nobody "stole" it.
Judge not, that you be not judged” (Matthew 7:1)“Love your neighbor as yourself” (Mark 12:31)Jesus spending time with people society condemned rather than treating them as enemies.
According to the Bible, all people are sinners, so none of us gets to claim moral superiority over others.
But by all means, tell us you haven't actually read the Bible without telling us.

@alex@pawb.fun I was not condemning anyone. Read carefully what I said. As for what Jesus said: Mat 5:18 For I tell you truly, until heaven and earth pass away, not a single jot, not a stroke of a pen, will disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. Mat 5:19 So then, whoever breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do likewise will be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever practices and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
