Daniel: ―For the prophecy never had its origin in the will of men, but men spoke from God as<br />

they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.‖ ~ 2 Peter 1:21<br />

Scaughdt: I happen to agree fully with this verse, my Friend, which gives us all the<br />

more reason to test the Scriptures (1 Thessalonians 5:21) – to see by their Fruits which<br />

are truly sent from God and which actually come from man (Matthew 7:15-20)!<br />

Diana: By the way -- Ray Comfort* has an online movie about homosexuality. Watch it if you<br />

want to learn something. [*I did check it out … and what I found is that Ray Comfort is a highly prejudicial,<br />

anti-LGBT, purely Paulinist, salvation-for-me-instead-of-service-for-others, conservative evangelical preacher.]<br />

Scaughdt: Does Ray believe that gays choose to be gay, and that they therefore choose<br />

to go to Hell? Maybe he could finally answer the question that still remains open; the one that<br />

no one here seems willing to answer – namely, if gays choose to go to Hell (primarily because<br />

they either reasonably choose to believe that Hell doesn‘t exist, or because they choose to give God the<br />

benefit of the doubt and believe that He would never punish any of His children so cruelly & so unjustly),<br />

what will God do when they choose to ask to be allowed to leave once they arrive & realize their<br />

mistake?<br />

Daniel: That question has already been answered – Jesus answered it when he told the adultress<br />

that he did not condemn her … He asked her who is left that condemns you, and the answer was<br />

no one … Then he said, ―Now go and sin no more‖ (John 8:11) … And here is the point: Yes,<br />

he loved her, but if she was going to sin again then she would choose to believe a spirit that lied<br />

to her … Jesus had the right way to deal with sin. Scaughdt, you are not the Apostle Paul. Why<br />

are you so concerned with him? Jesus will deal with him …<br />

God knows your heart and He knows mine … I wouldn't dare tell God, ―No thanks for<br />

your free eternal gift‖ … Do you think that God will say, ―By all means, go and comfort the ones<br />

that have rejected me‖ … What in Hell do you think that you could do in Hell!?! God puts all<br />

things in order and there are unclean spirits that are trying to take those things out of order. If<br />

you are not prepared they will clean your clock … A person that lives their life as a homosexual<br />

knows in their heart that all immoral sexuality is out of God's order … Jezebel is one of those<br />

spirits who will wipe you out if you are not careful … The battle is in the strongholds of the<br />

mind, and encompasses anything that exalts itself against the word of God ... You reject the<br />

Apostle Paul, so you won't consider what I believe to be spoken by the Holy Spirit through him<br />

as true … Shall we teach our children that you can have sex with anybody you want at any time?<br />

My experience with the one true God says ―No‖ … Some people don't think that feeding the<br />

wolf inside of them is rejecting God, and some just don't care … This is a lie straight from Hell.<br />

Scaughdt: (sigh) ... Dan, you keep going to such great places in the Bible, and then you keep<br />

stretching them to lengths they were never intended to go ... WHY do you do this, my Friend?<br />

No matter … Your statement ―Yes, he loved her, but if she was going to sin again then she<br />

would choose to believe a spirit that lied to her‖ is not only completely made up by you (or<br />

maybe your church – it certainly is not biblical), but it also has nothing at all to do with what God or<br />

Jesus would or would not do with or for a sinner after openly forgiving him or her a first sin!<br />
