Burnishing Bigotry - 3rd edition

Secondly (and just as importantly), God – the heavenly Father of Jesus Christ – is a Divine
Essence composed of perfect Love (Matthew 5:48), perfect Mercy (Luke 6:36 + John 5:22), perfect
Forgiveness (Matthew 18:21-22) and perfect Grace (1 Peter 5:10) … As such, there is truly no need
to fear (see Matthew 10:31 + 1 Peter 3:13-14 + 1 John 4:18), for – as the Bible itself repeatedly
shows – if we already know how to forgive those who trespass against us, how much greater
must be the Forgiveness of God for our own feeble sins! (see Matthew 6:14-15, Acts 3:19, Hebrews
10:17 et al) … In this regard, please consider the Word of God:
―The LORD is gracious and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast Love. The LORD
is good to all, and his compassion is over all that he has made.‖ ~ Psalms 145:8-9
―On this mountain the LORD of hosts will make for all peoples … And he will destroy on this
mountain the shroud that is cast over all peoples, the sheet that is spread over all nations. He will

of his people he will take away from all the Earth.‖ ~ Isaiah 25:6-8
