Lucy #381: Penultimately, you state that we are ―not [going to] say that God accepts<br />

[sin], because that is what you are doing.‖<br />

Not at all true, my dear Friend, not at all! Indeed, what I have stated publicly in this<br />

thread (and what I will state publicly again) is that we all must ―pay‖ for our sins – all of us without<br />

exception. Homosexuals who lust & manipulate must ―pay‖ for their transgressions against<br />

others, and you & yours who arrogantly & hypocritically condemn homosexuals must ―pay‖ for<br />

yours as well … Where you & I essentially differ is the magnitude of those payments, with you<br />

worshiping a God who is patently unjust & decidedly wicked – a God who punishes finite sins<br />

with an infinity of suffering; whereas I believe that the consequences we harvest are always<br />

commensurate & just – that they are always equal to the deeds done; in effect, that we always<br />

reap what we sow, and only what we sow – lustful homosexuals & arrogant heterosexuals alike.<br />

Lucy #382: Finally, you note that, ―Jesus said ‗Go and sin no more‘‖ (John 8:11), and I<br />

would simply say that this is quite correct. Jesus did encourage all of us (you included) to sin no<br />

more – and yet he never once said that he would condemn us in any way of we failed to do so!<br />

He didn‘t turn his back on the adulteress of John 8 when she most certainly continued to slip into<br />

sin thereafter, he won‘t turn his back on homosexuals who happen to slip into sins of lust or<br />

greed – and he is not in this very moment turning his back on you & yours while<br />

you continue to bathe in the sins of arrogant callousness & hypocritical judgment.<br />

―I give you a new commandment: that you Love one another. Just as I have Loved you,<br />

so also should you Love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples: if<br />

you show Love towards one another … Be merciful, just as your Father in Heaven is merciful …<br />

The Father judges no one, but as given all judgment to the Son … You judge by human<br />

standards, and yet I judge no one … I do not judge anyone who hears my words and yet does<br />

not keep them, for I cam not to judge the world but to offer it Salvation … Be perfect [in your<br />

Love] therefore, just as your heavenly Father is perfect.‖ ~ Jesus Christ (John 13:34-35 + Luke<br />

6:36 + John 5:22 + John 8:15 + John 12:47 + Matthew 5:48)<br />
