He forgave all sin, not just adultery and homosexuality. But sin is still sin--when he healed people, what did he say? Go and sin no more. If a person is in open rebellion to G-d (as this person obviously is), then it is very difficult for him to hear and recognize the voice of G-d.) I recommend for those of you (meaning all of us) that struggle with the connection of Jewish concepts and the relation of the Law with Christians that you read "Galatians" by Avi ben Mordechai. I don't want to get in a theological debate about Law vs. Grace, but it is good that we all search for the Truth.

I concur, with the understanding that all sin is offensive to Our Heavenly Father; IOW there is no degree of sin. Therefore the sin of a homosexual act is just as bad as fornication (guilty), lying (guilty), adultery (guilty), dishonoring parents (guilty), failing to keep a holy Sabbath (guilty), (stealing) guilty, drunkedness (guilty), lust (guilty), coveting a neighbor's wife (guilty), etc., etc.

Excellent points. The difference between the homosexual person in this article and G-d's people, is that they repent because of their Love of G-d. Repentence is the acknowledgement that one has fallen short of G-d's law and the need to change directions from that sin. Therefore, as I quoted in Romans 11, G-d gave them over to a reprobate mind, that they should come to know the need for repentence and come to him. He did not come for 'just' his people, but for all--(muslims, homosexuals, non believer's etc.,) but, unfortunately, "Many are called, but few come.) Performance of the Law represents obedience to G-d, but they, likewise, are saved by faith.
