Paul wrote that. The Apostle Paul wrote that. Paul wasn't even originally an Apostle by the way, he was added later.
I personally believe a lot of people are wrong in the aspect of acceptance. You should not cast out someone from the church because of a sin. (however, also read Mathew 18:15 - 17, sin isn't a good thing, but forgiveness will always be there)
To cast someone out of your way just because they are GLB or T, or had an abortion, or were not faithful to a partner, it doesn't matter.
Matthew 2:17 "On hearing this, Jesus said to them, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”"
One of Jesus' friends was a whore. Peter was a tax collector.
If you have not love... then what are your deeds for? As I said before, God is love.
Do not throw someone aside because they have a sin. There is always forgiveness.
We did not throw Paul aside, though he clearly states that he was the biggest of sinners. If a modern day Paul came to you and asked you to save him, would you? He killed hundreds of your brothers and sisters in Christ. He watched as people killed them. He did so many things. But he was forgiven.
Do not throw people away. We are all in need of God. We are all in need of Love.
