Yes, peae is important, but not at any price.
The old and the new testament together make up the word of God. Jesus did not abolish the old laws, he fulfilled them. There were things that changed with the fulfillment of laws, and when they were it was written so we would know.
Homosexuality as a sin never changed, and that is verified in the new testament. It never became acceptable, and that it is wrong is stated in the New Testament also.
The Bible was given to us by inspiration, and are the words of God. Never is it to be tossed out to accomodate human desires.
BTW, it would help if I knew where you were coming from. Can I encourage you to say a little something about yourself in the testimony part of the board? That way I can understand what we might agree on so we can talk to each coming from the point of what we DO agree on, and going from there.
