Burnishing Bigotry - 3rd edition

Lucy #291: Thereafter you state that, ―Neither I nor anyone else here has said anything
bad about the homosexual. I think we all love them enough to tell them of the love of Jesus who
can wash their sin away, just as he can wash away any other sin.‖
LUCY! My goodness! You stating that the natural desires of homosexuals are worthy
of damnation is actually a terrible thing to say about them – and you openly worshiping &
praising a God who you sincerely believe will damn those homosexuals to Hell for all eternity is
far worse than that! … Indeed, such behavior on the part of you & yours transcends the
word ―bad‖ completely … It is not only arrogant & callous & cruel of you to do so, it
is downright immoral – and Jesus Christ even said so as well!
―Do not judge, so that you may not be judged. For with the judgment you make you will
be judged, and the measure you give will be the measure you get. Why do you notice 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 to take the speck out of your neighbor‘s
… Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees; you hypocrites! For you clean the outside of the cup [of
others], but inside are full of greed and self-indulgence. You blind Pharisee! First clean the
inside of your own cup, so that the outside might also become truly clean.‖
~ Jesus Christ (Matthew 7:1-5 + Matthew 23:25-26)
―A new commandment I give to you: that you Love one another. Just as I have Loved,
so you also are to Love one another. By this all people will know that you are my disciples:
when you show Love for one another … 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 … Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.‖
~ Jesus Christ (John 13:34-35 + Matthew 18:3-4 + Luke 6:36)
―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.‖ ~ Matthew 5:48 + 1 John 4:18
