But he was specifically chosen by Christ to preach the gospel (Acts 9:15; 26:14-18). As an apostle, he spoke the words that were revealed to him from Jesus (1 Corinthians 14:37; 1 Thessalonians 4:2). Therefore, what Paul says is important. Regarding the Torah, Christians are not under the Law of Moses today (Colossians 2:14; Hebrews 8:8-12). I do not ignore it however. I even referenced passages from it in this article to show the pattern from the beginning, under every dispensation, that God condemns the practice of homosexuality. The Torah, and the rest of the Old Testament should not be ignored. But it must be used properly. I don't know about your claim that homosexuals cause no harm to others. But I assume your point is that I shouldn't be critical of the practice of homosexuality because it's between them and God. However, if I know that God condemns it, should I not try to explain that so they can learn the truth? True, Paul was not God.

I don’t know about your claim that homosexuals cause no harm to others. But I assume your point is that I shouldn’t be critical of the practice of homosexuality because it’s between them and God. However, if I know that God condemns it, should I not try to explain that so they can learn the truth?

Also in the torah all sorts of things are condemned that Christians ignore today. Homosexuals cause no harm to others. It's between them & God So what if Paul said that. it’s not like he was God.
