God's mind is vastly greater than our own, but that doesn't mean He's a jerk. I have been embarrassed by my associations in the past with Oneness ministers who insisted that OT Law be the norm for today. I worked with one guy who actually went out and bought newspaper ads calling for the arrest and imprisonment of homosexuals. He then quoted Scripture for their condemnation and death sentences.
