Unintentional Sins
Min Michael L Pearson Sr
As a devoted follower of Christ and someone with a gay family member, Minister Michael L Pearson has ample experience bridging the gap between two supposedly mutually exclusive groups. Pearson reminds us that we don't live under Old Testament law, so we cannot and should not hold the LGBT community to a standard of rules and punishment wiped out by grace. He thus encourages believers to set aside accusations and open up a conversation based on reflection. How do we use grace to rightly divide the scriptures? Are there different types of sin? Are we judged the same for all of them? How we can learn to love others without fear and self-righteousness? Pearson is very clear on what his book is not. It's neither a condemnation nor a legitimization of homosexuality. It's neither a "get straight" book nor an attempt to define homosexuality as an orientation or a preference. It's not about religion or rules; it's about relationship and respect. In this comparison of Old Testament law and New Testament grace, Pearson offers believers the perspective-shifting opportunity to put rigid theology aside and focus on what Jesus wanted above all: that we have relationships with each other and with God-through him.
