Lucy #099: You follow this by boldly stating that, ―If a Christian truly hated the<br />

homosexual they would simply keep silent and let them suffer in the eternal darkness, loneliness,<br />

and torment of Hell‖ … What pure silliness this is, my Friend! This statement is rife with problems<br />

… For starters, how are you to reconcile telling others of their sins while still sinning yourself?<br />

(Matthew 7:1-5) … And how are you to reconcile telling others of their sins and thereby sinning via<br />

that arrogance? (Matthew 18:3-4) … And how are you to reconcile the raw wickedness that is<br />

worshiping a God who would encourage you to do such a thing in the first place, much less a God<br />

who would allow anyone to burn for eternity as punishment for sins committed over even an<br />

entire 80-year lifetime? My dear Lucy, whatever happened to reaping only what is sown?<br />

(see Hosea 10:12-13, Jeremiah 17:10, Matthew 7:1-2, Mark 4:2, Luke 6:38 & Galatians 6:7)<br />

In essence, my dear, you are championing a God who is patently unfair and almost<br />

diabolically unjust. And that you apparently still cannot see this fairly simple Truth is frankly<br />

starting to become a bit diconcerting.<br />

Lucy #100: You then make another important point when you state that, ―Jesus Christ<br />

commands us to 'love our enemies', and [yet] you can't love someone without warning them<br />

when they are in great and grave danger.‖ … I will admit that this statement does seem to make<br />

sense, my Friend, and yet it neglects two very important points – ONE: that Jesus‘ all-Loving<br />

Father would never allow His children to suffer such a horrible consequence (Matthew 5:48 +<br />

John 5:22 + Hebrews 10:17 et al), … and TWO: that it is your judgmental, unjust, even<br />

somewhat wicked version of God who put homosexuals ―in danger‖ in the first place!!!<br />

Lucy #101: Next you make the bold claim that, ―The Bible clearly says that<br />

homosexuality is sin.‖ … Again, this statement is absolutely false and biblically inaccurate! … I<br />

have asked you & yours many times in this thread for even a single verse from the Bible<br />

showing that homosexuality itself is a sin, and I am still waiting for anyone to give me one. Do<br />

you know why I am still waiting, Lucy? BECAUSE THERE AREN’T ANY!!! Indeed the<br />

Bible contains over 31,000 verses; 31,000+ verses that are cross-referenced within the Scriptures<br />

over 63,000 times (see image below), and yet in not a single one of these verses does the<br />

Bible state either that homsoexusals are sinners or that homosexuality is a sin …<br />

… NOT A SINGLE ONE!<br />
