The best you can do would be this, I think:

Of course, if you believe that Yahweh of the OT is the same entity as Jesus in the NT, and that the whole bible is the voice of God, then Jesus would have said everything the OT did (which includes recomending rape, pillage, murder, child sacrifice, etc etc... things most modern Christian's would not find palatable)


Leviticus 18:22:
"You shall not lie with a male as those who lie with a female; it is an abomination."

Leviticus 20:13:
"If a man lies with a male as those who lie with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination and they shall surely be put to death."

"Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil." (Matthew 5:17)
