Burnishing Bigotry - 3rd edition

*This means that if you truly are a believer in ―the whole Bible‖, Lucy – and
if you truly are a follower of the teachings of Jesus Christ therein, then you will STOP
DENIGRATING HOMOSEXUALS and start cleaning your own cup instead!!!
―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 23:25-26)
P.S. How odd it is that you claim that I only use ―a few verses of the Word of God‖
when I have used literally thousands of verses in this thread alone and cited literally hundreds of
them in my last set of comments alone!
P.P.S. How odd as well that you claim that I am the one taking the entire Bible out of
context when it clearly YOU who are doing so! Otherwise, how do you explain Hebrews 8:8-
13? And how do you reconcile your open condemnation of homosexuals with Matthew 5:40-
48? And how do you reconcile your belief in their eternal damnation with John 5:22 + John
8:15 + John 12:47 + 1 John 4:18? And how do you reconcile openly criticizing homosexuality
(which again, according to the Bible, is NOT A SIN!) with Matthew 7:1-5 or Matthew 18:3-4 or
Matthew 23:25-26 or John 8:7? … Simply put, Lucy, you can‘t, because even though you do
look at ―the whole Bible‖, you do so by looking at each verse or collection of verses in isolation
– which conveniently allows you to ignore the sins that you & yours are committing while
publicly damning those that make you uncomfortable (a classic characteristic of bigotry), and
which conveniently (and incorrectly) allows you to claim to be followers of Jesus Christ while
blatantly ignoring most of his teachings (in favor of the far less enlightened and far less Loving
teachings of the Old Testament, of Paul, and of the book of Revelation).
Of course, you do so to your own detriment –
keeping yourself locked out of Jesus‘ truly brilliant
Kingdom of Heaven (see Luke 17:20-21 + Matthew 18:3-
4) and you do so to the detriment of humanity as well
(as Christ cannot ever fully return until the world is
exposed not to your warped beliefs about the Gospel, but
rather to Jesus‟ Gospel of LOVE unconditional
instead! – see Matthew 28:16-20, Mark 16:15-16 &
Luke 24:44-49)!
So PLEASE, my dear Friend – for the Love of
God (literally) – repent! Hold your callous &
judgmental tongue when it comes to homosexuality,
open your Heart to your still-persecuted homosexual
brothers & sisters instead, and return to The Way of
Christ thereby.
Amen – Let it be so!
