*Truth #05) Even though my conservative Christian Friends claim to ―worship the<br />

whole Bible‖ (coupling that bold statement with frequent false claims that I am the one who is guilty of<br />

ignoring parts of the Scriptures; of ―picking & choosing‖ only the verses that support my belief that the<br />

Bible shines forth a God whose Love is unconditional & whose Grace is unwavering), it is actually they<br />

who do these things far more than I! It is actually they who to this day continue to ignore the<br />

thousands of verses of Scripture I have given in this thread alone. It is they who most certainly<br />

do not ―worship the whole Bible‖ – otherwise they would take into account the teachings of<br />

Jesus when creating their personal vision of God. Otherwise they would include Matthew 5:48<br />

to make His Love perfect … Otherwise they would include John 5:22 to make His wrath soft …<br />

Otherwise they would include 1 John 4:18 to make His Justice gentle … Otherwise they would<br />

include Luke 6:36 & Matthew 18:21-22 to make His Mercy complete … And otherwise<br />

they would incluide the Parables of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:28-27) & The Prodigal<br />

Son (Luke 15:11-32) to include homosexuals in His great Grace …<br />

Amen -- Let it one day be so!<br />

Peace to you all … S<br />

Lucy’s #229: You commence this latest comment by stating that, ―I have said I would<br />

not go to their church when they are living the lifestyle of homosexuality. What kind of example<br />

are they setting when the Bible teaches us that sexual immorality is wrong?‖<br />

Lucy, the Bible does indeed teach that ―sexual immorality is wrong‖ and it is quite<br />

thorough in listing all the ways that this is so – including incest, bestiality, adultery, sex with<br />

non-blood relatives, threesomes with a woman & her daughter, fornication out of wedlock,<br />

―loose conduct‖, ―whore-mongering‖, masturbation and fantasizing about anyone not one‘s wife<br />

or husband. So why not mention preachers who are violating these ―mortal sins‖, Lucy? Such<br />

―false prophets‖ are certainly far more prevalent than pastors engaged in ―gay lust‖ or ―gay sex‖<br />

are or ever will be … So why are you singling out homosexual preachers for your<br />

condemnations, my Friend? … <strong>Bigotry</strong>, perhaps?<br />

P.S. Far more importantly, being gay is not<br />

a ―lifestyle choice‖ … Being gay is a natural genetic<br />

predisposition to being attracted to members of your<br />

own sex (a fact I have proven quite conclusively in this<br />

thread already – see pages 78-80 herein). And for you<br />

to repeatedly say otherwise is nothing more than a<br />

repeated testimonial to your own determination to<br />

remain ignorant on this matter; a chosen level of<br />

unknowing that is the source of your bigoted<br />

prejudice against homosexuals – a bigotry that has<br />

you choosing to worship & adore a cruel & unjust<br />

God who you firmly believe will one day allow gays<br />

to burn in Hell forever – a stance which is not only<br />

an immoral one, but also one that directly<br />

contradicts The Way of Jesus Christ!<br />
