Many letters have been written lately about God's word. The Bible is perfect.

Humans, in our own disbelief and rebellion, seek to dilute and adapt the Bible to our own moral codes. God did not pen his word so we could empower ourselves, feel better about ourselves or superior to others. When we twist God's word to say what we want, we show no respect for God, his word or our fellow man. In doing so, we condemn ourselves, not others.

Jesus does love and forgive. The challenge for us is taking his grace and not turn it into disgrace.
