Burnishing Bigotry - 3rd edition

Daniel #089: You then state that, ―I am not picking on the gays or the ghost hunters.‖
Fair enough, my Friend. If this is indeed the case (while I am not exactly sure what a ―ghost
hunter‖ is to you, much less what it has to do with this particular conversation), then we are going to
need to see you walking that talk, which means one of the following two things is going to have
to happen very soon – either …
ONE) You are going to start abiding by the words of Jesus Christ and stop condemning
the sins of anyone – homosexuals included (see Matthew 7:1-5, Matthew 18:3-4, Matthew 23:25-26,
John 8:7, John 13:34-35 et al), or …
TWO) You are going to have to start publicly damning the sins of everyone – every
person committing adultery (see Leviticus 20:10), every person fantasizing about sex with
someone other than their spouse (see Matthew 5:27-28), every disrespectful child (see
Deuteronomy 21:18-21), every person working on the Sabbath (see Exodus 35:2), every
heterosexual divorcee (see Malachi 2:16), every person soaked in the greed of gluttony (see
Proverbs 23:2), every person addicted to materialism (see Matthew 6:19-20), every politician
steeped in callousness (see Ephesians 4:18 & Psalm 17:10), every zealot dripping with arrogance
(including you & yours – see Isaiah 5:16 & Proverbs 16:5), every person uttering any
dishonesty (see Colossians 3:9-10); indeed, every single person committing any of the
dozens of ―abominations‖ mentioned in the Bible (see Proverbs 6:16-19).
And if you choose to do so – if you choose to openly judge & condemn all of the Bible‘s
many ―mortal sins‖, then you are also going to have to give each and every one of these sins
equal time. Otherwise, you will be unfairly (and in the case of homosexuality – which is not even a
sin – unduly) focusing on one over the others ---- which you are doing now ---- which is
bigotry ---- which is in & of itself a sinful violation of The Way of Christ!
