Generally in agreement with your post, but I would like to see the demand for the killing of gay people taken out of the Bible.
It has been. In the same way our constitution was ammended so too has the bible been expanded on
dispensationaly.
First one uses a basic understanding of the Torah to see that it is a set of laws that were given to one group of Hebrews and not to all people.
Then one reads the OT to see what the purpose of the Law was.
Then one uses the NT to see that the Law has been fulfilled and "it is finished."
Should anyone tell you that gays should be killed you can easily point out that you and many others are not Jewish, that he/she has no problem cutting the grass on Saturday or eating shrimp or not killing adulterers.
Jesus paid the price, "all is permissible", the Law of Christ has replaced the Torah and we are now expected to love one another with a radical love. (The Hebrews were expected to do that before but they also had to exercise strict justice. It was a dilemma that was presented to them to force them to see that no one can follow the law. Life comes not through obedience to law but obedience to being faithful).
Radical love would require that Christians not hate those with whom they disagree but that they embrace them and do all they can to show God's love to people who are no worse than us with such dramatic intensity that they have no choice but to admit that only through God's help could one love that fully. They obviously fail very often.
Radical love would require that those who in doing what their conscience tells them is ok see that it causes their neighbor to stumble will refrain from that. If for you it is ok to eat meat sacrificed to idols but your neighbor has trouble eating that meat then you skip it too even at personal sacrifice. In the same way those who are attracted to same sex partners in a culture that does not accept that should ask themselves what is the most loving way to handle it. Protest and demanding ones rights have never been the bible way to handle these things in love. They obviously fail very often.
The weak changes their behavior for the sake of the strong and the strong changes their behavior for the sake of the weak. And sometimes the weak discover that they are in actuality the strong and the strong discover that they are in actuality the weak.
