Oh, so you approve of anyone who approves of you,
first. So non-judgemental.

Then you're not a Christian, as Jesus said (in the Bible) that NOTHING from God's Word is ever outdated:
Matthew 5:17-18 "17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. 18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled."
Have heaven and earth passed while no one was watching?

Ever hear of a thing called "context"? How you can pull one phrase or sentence out of something, and suddenly the meaning is totally changed? That's what whoever convinced you that God does not think you are a vile, wretched, horrid abomination deserving a gruesome, painful death as soon as possible (according to the Bible) did.
Jesus did not mean "everyone" when He said that. This sermon may clear up some of your confusion:
Bible Answers: Who are our neighbors? Who are our brothers and sisters? Who are we to love?
