embracing the narrow path to which Jesus called them
Indeed. I have written in the past that when Jesus indicated two commandments are greater than all the others, in fact that all of the laws hang up on those two, he meant this as a way to resolve dilemmas where principles come into conflict. On one hand you have orphans, flesh and blood people who need love and stable homes; on the other hand you have words in a book that say homosexuality is wrong. When did Jesus ever take the "narrow path" of upholding words in an ancient book over the needs of people right there in front of him?
