Burnishing Bigotry - 3rd edition

Lucy #223: As we begin to near the end of this, your latest comment, you cite Matthew
25:41 to claim that, ―Though man was created to live with God for eternity, if we refuse the gift
of eternal life through Jesus, then we have chosen eternal death in Hell, which was ‗prepared for
the devil and his angels.‘‖
Lucy, I think it would behoove you to read what you wrote here again – this time very
slowly. Who does Jesus claim Hell was prepared for in this verse? Human sinners? No – it
was made by God for ―the devil and his angels‖! … Think about it! And maybe after you have
had that little awakening, how about hopping over to The Way of Jesus Christ and consider what
Jesus meant by Hell – and what he meant by Heaven?
―The Kingdom of God is not coming with things that can be observed; nor will they say, ‗Look,
here it is!‘ or ‗Look, there it is!‘, for in fact the Kingdom of God is already within you.‖
~ Jesus Christ (Luke 17:20-21)
―And those will come out – those who have done good to the resurrection of life; and those who
have done evil to the resurrection of condemnation … Very truly, I tell you, whoever believes has eternal life
… Whoever believes in me, will DO the works I do.‖ ~ Jesus Christ (John 5:29 + John 6:47 + John 14:12)
―You judge by human standards; I judge no one.‖ ~ Jesus Christ (John 8:15)
―A new commandment I give to you, that you Love one another. Just as I have Loved you, so
you also are to Love one another. By this all people will know that you are my disciples: if you show
Love for one another … Be perfect [in LOVE] therefore, just as [the LOVE] of your Father in Heaven is
perfect … There is no fear in Love, but perfect Love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment,
and whoever fears has not reached perfection in Love … Show mercy to others, just as your heavenly
Father shows them mercy.‖ ~ Jesus Christ (John 13:34-35 + Matthew 5:48 + 1 John 4:18 + Luke 6.36)
―By this everyone will know that you are my disciples: that you show Love towards one another
… My Father is glorified by this: that you BEAR MUCH FRUIT and become my disciples.‖
~ Jesus Christ (John 13:35 + John 15:8)
