The Gospel is about God's saving love

“Well, what we do is to pick and choose things out of the Bible that conform to our fears. It’s not a matter of obeying the Bible — it’s about obeying the gospel. The gospel is about God’s saving love that wants to restore all of humanity to full communion.

Those texts are not the determinative texts.” – Walter Brueggemann
