Au contraire to at least one meaning of your tag. Jesus mercifully spares us, leads us away from, battles He does not will us to be embroiled in.

Jesus is not a self will power vending machine. He is guiding and providing Love.

So, Jesus isn't a self will power vending machine when you dropped your dime into your own self will power vending machine it dropped out authority for you to dictate to others what Scripture means? Right, just like it dropped that same authority out to everyone else who follows the same fundamental doctrines you do.

You folks just love to argue and personalize rather than looking at the facts. The simple, undeniable facts are that as a Catholic I acknowledge that the Scripture is correct about the evils of sodomy and many other things based on the interpretations of Scripture that have been handed down straight from Christ and the Apostles while non-Catholics each decide for themselves how to interpret Scripture and even what Scripture to toss into the garbage can.

So, pretend whatever you like. I rest in the authority of Christ secure in the knowledge of Bible, the entire Bible, and how it should be interpreted as passed down directly from Christ and the Apostles. Non-Catholics (based on their own self will power vending machine ideas) ultimately rest in the Self and Self Alone shaping Christ into whatever they want Him to be.

Perverts of all stripes claim just as much authority as the people like you who stomp their feet at me for just stating undeniable facts. So, stomp away, you authority is based on your own self will power vending machine interpretations and nothing more. If on occasion they agree with what's been the constant teaching of the Church for two thousand years it's usually only a temporary coincidence, like having taught for roughly four hundred years that contraception was always a sin right up until they decided not to bother teaching that anymore.

Someone else puts a different coin in their self will power vending machine and the selects a different little treat for themselves than what you chose and they rest in exactly the same authority you do. That's nothing but fundamental Protestant and Protestant derived basic teaching fundamental to non-Catholic theology whether individual or organized into some specifically named sect or Church.
