Burnishing Bigotry - 3rd edition

Lucy #344: You then state that, ―[Homosexuals] simply have a choice to make: to live
for themselves or to live for for Christ‖, and I would agree with you on this point 100% -- for
everyone, not only for homosexuals. Of course, what you still fail to realize is the most
important word in this very sentence – namely, the word ―themselves‖. For it is they who
must choose to live for themselves or for Christ, Lucy – not you who must choose for them!
And similarly, my dear Friend, it is you who also must choose – choose to either remain
aligned with the outdated (and often bigoted) laws of Leviticus in the Old Testament & the
unenlightened (and often wicked) teachings of Paul in the New – or humble yourself like a young
child (see Matthew 18:3-4), abide in the commandments of Jesus Christ (see John 13:34-35 & John
14:15-23), and walk his Way instead!
―The days are surely coming, says the Lord, when I will establish a new covenant with the
house of Israel … not like the covenant that I made with their ancestors … This is the covenant that I will
make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put my laws in their minds, and write
them on their hearts, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. And they shall not teach
one another or say to each other, ‗Know the Lord‘, for they shall all know me, from the least of them to
the greatest. For I will be merciful towards their iniquities, and I will remember their sins no more.‘ In
speaking of „a new covenant‟, He has made the first one obsolete. And what is obsolete and growing old
will soon disappear.‖ ~ Hebrews 8:8-13
―The Law indeed was given through Moses, and yet Grace & Truth came through Jesus
Christ.‖ ~ John 1:17
―If you Love me you will abide by my commandments … They who hear my commandments
and keep them are those who Love me; and those who Love me will be Loved by my Father, and I will
Love them and reveal myself to them.‖ ~ Jesus Christ (John 14:15 + 21)
―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: if you show Love
for one another.‖ ~ Jesus Christ (John 13:34-35)
―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.‖
~ Jesus Christ (Matthew 18:3-4)
―Everyone who does not abide in the teaching of Christ, but goes beyond it [like Paul clearly
does], does not have God; Whoever abides in the teaching has both the Father and the Son.‖ ~ 2 John 1:9
―Whoever says ‗I abide in him‘ must live as he lived." ~ 1 John 2:6
