Contradictions and misunderstandings

I read your question and it seems as if you are saying that because we are under grace, the law does not matter. I actually used to believe this. That is how people justify what I would call "human or secular" behavior. The person that is under grace (NT) got there because of the law (OT). God gave us a way out of the law, because he knew we could not keep the law. A sin is a sin. Christians should condemn what according to the Bible (OT and NT)is a sin. This does not mean we hate the SINNER. Because we have all sinned and fallen short of God's glory. No one has led a sinless life (except Jesus). We are all filthy rotten disgusting sinners . Now you asked about James 4:12. James 4:12King James Version (KJV) 12 There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy: who art thou that judgest another? God will have the final judgement over the unsaved, you are not to speak evil of one another. But a truly saved person will follow James 4:8 8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. Cleanse yourself of unrighteousness. Purify your heart. God gave us the law in the Bible and in our hearts. We know the law but can't obey, that is why we are in need of grace. And the law says that h*m*sexuality as well as many other things are a sin. As the poster stated above there are many verses that expound on the topic of h*m*sexuality. The bible clarifies itself and interprets itself. You have to take the Bible as a WHOLE, you can't pick and choose. IF you do then it is no longer the sacred word of God Almighty, it is just a collection of old writings by shepherds, publicans and Pharisees.
