Either way, it cannot be demanded as the price of salvation. It must be a free choice. Again, you are confusing personal piety, which is fulfilling, with using your brain on hard issues, like a pregnancy that has no chance of coming to term and is endangering the mother, needless end of life suffering and the requirement that gays deny all sexuality when they are, by nature and God's design, not only beings but homosexual beings. Love means seeing their plights with acceptance, not inflexibiltiy and pietousness. The Law is for people, people are not for the Law. I understand the Gospel just find. That is the essence of the Gospel. You confuse stoicism, pharasaic legalism and neoplatonic absolutism with Chist.
