Burnishing Bigotry - 3rd edition

Indeed Lucy, your dramatic inconsistency in this matter does indeed expose an area of
bigotry that is blemishing your otherwise perfectly Loving Soul; a blemish that reflects a
hypocrisy so flagrant that it is almost screaming for your repentance – a hypocrisy so dramatic
that your own Lord & Savior is almost begging you from the Gospels to amend your judgmental
ways … May you find the humility to hear his pleas, and the courage to answer their Call.
―Do not judge, so that you may not be judged … Why do you see the speck in your
neighbor‘s eye, but do not notice the log in your own? ... You hypocrite! First take the log out of
your own eye, and then you will see clearly enough to remove the speck from your neighbor‘s ...
Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the
Kingdom of Heaven. Whoever becomes humble like this young child is the greatest in the
Kingdom of Heaven.‖ ~ Jesus Christ (Matthew 7:1-2 + 18:3-4)
―You hypocrites! For you clean the outside of the cup [of others], but inside are full of
greed and self-indulgence ... First clean the inside of your own cup, so that the outside might
also become truly clean.‖ ~ Jesus Christ (Matthew 23:25-26)
―All who exalt themselves will be humbled, but all who humble themselves will be
exalted‖ ~ Jesus Christ (Luke 18:14)
―Let [she] who is without sin cast the first stone.‖ ~ Jesus Christ (John 8:7)
―If any want to become my true followers, let them first deny themselves,
and then take up their cross … and then follow me.‖
~ Jesus Christ (Luke 9:23)
