When I am teaching and someone wants to make a point about how the Holy Spirit/the Christ/God does things, I suggest we shouldn't ever put God in a box and assume there is only one right way to do anything.As believers we need to rely on the Holy Spirit to teach us His Word. That gives us not only the confidence, but the right and authority under G-d to proclaim His Word to a hurting and sin infested world.
I illustrate with the lessons of the New Testament and Jesus healing the blind.
Matthew 20:30-34: Jesus touches the eyes of two blind men and they are healed.
Mark 8:22-25: Jesus spit on the blind man's eyes, laid hands on him and the man was healed.
Mark 10:46-52: Jesus sent the blind man on his way telling him his faith had made him well.
John 9:1-7: Jesus put mud on the eyes of the blind man and told him to go wash in the pool of Siloam and he would be healed.
Now if one person reads one of those accounts and not the others, and another reads another account etc., we could easily have the 'touch-ites' 'speak-ites' 'spit-ites' and 'mud-ites' arguing over how Jesus heals the blind. God's ways are not for us to dictate, however, and we aren't always to know why He does things the way He does.
Likewise to pull the six short references to homosexuality in the Bible out as the "Law" and ignore all other other passages of how we are to regard the "Law" I personally believe does the Scriptures a great disservice. "Proof texting" will almost always get the full message wrong.
