First, I like Rosaria both her testimony and her as a person, however she has confounded the first and second use of the law. She is absolutely right that grace is bigger than sin even homosexuality, but that does not make civic policy. Where the first use of the law demonstrates my need for a savior, the second or civic use of the law is to order society. We punish murders, rapists, thieves and cannibals and we are right to do so. The question is not will Christ saves sinners even homosexuals, but if the people of God and His magistrates will serve Him according to His commands for the ordering of society. If we refuse to so, we are violating the great commission by refusing to teach what God has commanded. The DOMA ruling by the court is defiance against the crown rights of Christ and a blasphemy it declares that His authority is not absolute and He is not LORD!
