He may have advocated it in specific situations to some people, but he did not give a blanket command to destroy the unrighteous. In fact, if you ever get around to reading the words of Jesus, you'll find out that we are commanded to love those who persecute us, as this is the best way to spread God's love to others.

To assume, in this context, that Jesus suddenly starts rejecting the moral regulations of torah is a little short of astonishing, especially in view of how the section begins ("Think not that I have come to abolish the law. . . . Whosoever then relaxes one of the least of these commandments . . ."-vv. 17-18).

Well, it is our jobto do the best we can be trying to convince sinners to turn to the righteous path. You cannot do that by calling them names, executing them or using the Bible as a weapon, but to show them that God loves and give up their sins as part of that love. I know homosexuality is an abomination, will they automatically go to Hell when they die, I don't know, that is something to take up with God Himself.

As much as we wish we could, we will never get everybody to stop sinning, people are going to do what they are going to do and in the case of homosexuality, as long as they don't shove their agenda on the nation and keep it in the bedroom (like we all should) then they should be left alone and live their lives, get jobs (as long as their homosexuality can't be used against them such as a top secret job where the enemy can blackmail them), and so on like the rest of us. If they just want to live their lives, fine, but when it comes to forcing their agenda, that is a different thing all together.
