Lucy-Spew #11… Who Loves them more?
Lucy: You can offer whatever you want, Scaughdt, but we know the truth of God‘s Word – and
we recognize when we are being led by someone other than the Spirit of God! You can use only
the parts of the Bible that you want and leave out the most important parts of God‘s Word, and
yet there is a high price to pay for anyone who misuses the Word of God! …
―The Christian (any follower of Jesus Christ) is commanded to ‗love others‘ and to treat
them as we would want to be treated. According to the Bible, a person living in homosexual sin
‗will not inherit the Kingdom of Heaven‘ (1 Corinthians 6:9-11), and those who ‗approve of
those who do such things‘ will be held to be just as guilty. In the Bible, we find Jesus Christ's
first command was to ‗repent‘ (to turn away from those things which are against God's Law) and
then to trust in him alone to save us from all our sins. He said he came to ‗save sinners‘ -- lots of
them -- both Jew and Gentile -- any and all who will love, believe, and trust in him …
The Bible warns that until we acknowledge we are sinners and that we desperately need a
Savior (to save us from our sins -- past, present, and future) we won't be saved from Hell … So,
who loves homosexuals more? The one who tells them it's okay to continue in a sin the Bible
warns will condemn them to an eternity in Hell, or someone who is willing to endure anger,
ridicule, and hate to warn them and to try to get them into Heaven as a neighbor and as a friend?
In Proverbs 27:6 God says, ‗Faithful are the wounds of a friend, but the kisses of an
enemy are deceitful.‘ Jesus Christ said more about Hell than he did about Heaven, and the true
believing Christian will try to get as many boys, girls, men, and women into the Kingdom of
Heaven as possible. If a Christian truly hated the homosexual (or anyone willfully sinning
against God's law) they would simply keep silent and let them suffer in the eternal darkness,
loneliness, and torment of Hell. Yet, all believing Christians have had to come face-to-face with
the fact we are all sinners and desperately need a 'Savior' to save us from our sins and from Hell.
Jesus Christ commands us to 'love our enemies', and you can't love someone without
warning them when they are in great and grave danger. It is a false doctrine in direct opposition to
God's Word that teaches that God's ‗love‘ approves of or accepts homosexuality. The Bible clearly
says homosexuality is sin, and Jesus said He came to save sinners ... And we are all sinners.
God hates sin because he endured the Cross to suffer and die for all our sins -- and
because He understands how terrible the consequences are. The Bible warns that anybody who
‗defends‘ or ‗approves of‘ or ‗promotes‘ or ‗protects‘ this sin (or any sin) has openly declared
their opposition to God and His Word by trying to block His loving and gracious efforts to reach
out and save them. That is why Jesus pleads with all to repent (turn away) from doing those
things that are against God‘s laws, God‘s statutes, and God‘s rules … And with tears of joy and
with the open arms of a loving Father God will richly forgive and welcome all back who return
to Him.‖ 27
