So Scaughdt, why can't you accept that homosexual sex is sin in the eyes of God? A<br />

Christian will try and lead the sinner to Christ, and that my friend is more then I can say for you.<br />

To accept their sin and not try to lead them to salvation (and thereby let them die in their sin) is<br />

not following Jesus! These modern-day so-called churches are going against the Word of God to<br />

teach that homosexual marriage is OK, when God has clearly said it is not. There will be a price<br />

to pay for all false teachers!<br />

Scaughdt: Hello again, my dear Friend! I‘d like to start by asking you for a small favor:<br />

Would you be so kind as to tell us who are you quoting here? [As was almost always the case, I<br />

went online and found her source myself – see Footnote 52 at the bottom of the previous page] … It<br />

would be a great service to those folks who are reading along to be able to look into the<br />

teachings of those from whom you are learning your dogma – and on top of that it is simply<br />

basic decency to cite someone whenever you quote them in writing … Just sayin‘.<br />

Lucy #353: You start here by stating, ―I think it is your lack of understanding of the<br />

Word of God that has you condoning everything that God does not!‖<br />

Hmmm … I am actually quite intrigued by this comment, Lucy, as I‘m not sure what it is<br />

that I am condoning that God does not. Compassion, perhaps? I am condoning that, and yet so<br />

does God (see Matthew 18:21-22 + Luke 6:36) … Humility, perhaps? No, God & Jesus – like me –<br />

are both huge fans of Humility (see Proverbs 11:2 & Proverbs 18:12 & Micah 6:8 & Matthew 18:3-4)<br />

… Do you mean Justice? No, that can‘t be it either, as it is you & yours who are violating that<br />

principle with your incorrectly ignorant condemnations of even the sinless homosexual …<br />

Maybe you mean Integrity? – or even basic Decency? No again, as both of those values are<br />

being championed by yours truly as well … How about Love, then? No – again, it is actually I<br />

who am honoring that principle by encouraging you & yours to stop judgmentally harassing<br />

homosexuals and adopt The Way of Jesus Christ instead (see Matthew 7:1-5 + Matthew 5:48 + 1<br />

John 4:18 + Matthew 23:25-26 et al) … So please, Lucy, do tell where I am in any way<br />

contradicting The Way of Jesus Christ or the will of his heavenly Father in this thread. I don‘t<br />

remember ever having done so, and will be sincerely thankful to you for pointing out any such<br />

mistake I might have inadvertently made.<br />

And while you are at it, my dear, you<br />

& yours might want to look and see<br />

where you are condoning the things that<br />

Jesus Christ (and therefore his Father) quite<br />

clearly does not – like arrogance<br />

(Matthew 18:3-4 + Matthew 23:12 et al), and<br />

prejudice (Matthew 5:44 + Luke 6:37 et al),<br />

and condemnation (Matthew 18:21-22 +<br />

Matthew 7:1-2 et al), and hypocrisy<br />

(Matthew 7:3-5 + Matthew 23:25-26) …<br />

What do you say?<br />
