Daniel #043: Next you ask, ―What do we do with people who are completely lost?" …<br />

Well, aside from the fact that it is quite arrogant of you to make such a judgment about anyone<br />

other than yourself, I think Jesus was pretty clear about what we are to do with<br />

those people, don't you think? (Hint: he did not want us to criticize them or condemn<br />

them or convert them – He wanted us to LOVE THEM!)<br />

―Whoever becomes humble like a very young child is the greatest in the Kingdom of<br />

Heaven … Be perfect [in your Love] as your heavenly Father is perfect [in His] … Do not judge<br />

others, so that you might also not be judged. For with the judgment you make you will be<br />

judged, and the measure you give will be the measure you receive in return.‖<br />

~ Jesus Christ (Matthew 18:4 + Matthew 5:48 + Matthew 7:1-2)<br />

Daniel #044: You then state that, ―The first thing we do is understand that a sin is<br />

committed because someone believes a lie from a unclean spirit.‖ … Fair enough, my Friend –<br />

there is indeed Truth in this statement. And yet you then go on to list drunkenness, selfishness<br />

and bestiality as examples of that sin – while forgetting to mention arrogance & callousness &<br />

hypocrisy; three of the sins that reside at the core of Paul's teachings – three of the<br />

sins that Jesus personally abhorred – and three of the sins that you & yours are<br />

committing in this thread even as we speak!<br />

―Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees; you hypocrites! For you clean the outside of the cup<br />

[of others], but inside are full of greed and self-indulgence. You blind Pharisee! First clean the<br />

inside of your own cup, so that the outside might also become truly clean.‖<br />

~ Jesus Christ (Matthew 23:25-26)<br />
