In this edition of Albert Mohler's verse-by-verse expository teaching series at Third Avenue Baptist Church, Dr. Mohler preaches from Leviticus 19:1-37.
23H. H. Rowley, The Faith of Israel (London: SCM, 1956) 122. 24The Bible itself makes a constructive distinction between a general concern for purity and order and the particular treatment of individual human beings. The same Torah whose puritylaws exclude the blind from ministry at the altar (Lev 21:18) insists in its ethical concern for the neighbor that one dare not put a stumbling block before the blind (Lev 19:14) or [mislead] a blind person on the road (Deut 27:18). Such texts can provide a biblical model for reminding even those who regard homosexual behav- ior as sin or disorder that failure to love the homosexual neighbor, placing a stumbling block in his or her attempt to lead a productive daily life, is also sin. 25Such a word would go beyond Gal 3:28, because it would involve the affirmation not only of a persons gender, ethnicity, or class (or orientation), but also, within limits, of a persons actions.
"those who regard homosexual behaviour as sin" you said? God, in Leviticus 18, calls it an abomination. And again in Romans 1. I think I will stick with what God says on the subject. Part of loving your homosexual neighbor is to bring him to the gospel. That would include leading him to Bible study which shows him his sin is an abomination to God.
I pray that he is not the tool of the devil, but then I see his actions- i pray he does not succumb to the power of money and the devil- I fear dear brothers, that we are too late- my most holy guides have told me to be wary- sad times- but - we can not let the forces of evil corrupt us all- find the evil and expel the wicked from the kingdom of heaven, and this man will find redemption in the end- pray dear brothers to find the courage to cast the wicked out of your house- I have heard from upon high that higher powers are at play- this time- they have the federal government (for better or worse) investigating this-
Thank you. Excellent.

blind from ministry at the altar (Lev 21:18) insists in its ethical concern for the neighbor that one dare not
put a stumbling block before the blind (Lev 19:14) or [mislead] a blind person on the road (Deut

I fear dear brothers, that we are too late-
my most holy guides have told me to be wary-
sad times-
but - we can not let the forces of evil corrupt us all-
find the evil and expel the wicked from the kingdom of heaven, and this man will find redemption in the end-
pray dear brothers to find the courage to cast the wicked out of your house-
I have heard from upon high that higher powers are at play-
