Daniel: God righteously judges … Hallelujah!! His Son sits on the right hand of the Father ...<br />

Praise God for His Holy Spirit!<br />

Scaughdt: Dan, if that is truly the case, then – if Paul is correct and God does judge Christians<br />

as worthy of salvation, then Christian homosexuals (like Oliver Clyde Allen) have nothing to<br />

worry about! And – if Jesus is correct in the Gospels and God loves perfectly and therefore<br />

judges no one (see John 5:22 & 1 John 4:18) – then all humble, Kind-hearted homosexuals<br />

have nothing to worry about either! So, since God ―righteously judges‖ either way, it looks<br />

like Oliver Clyde Allen and his Christian husband are in the clear, and you can now admit<br />

that you were indeed wrong, and that you would indeed go and hear Bishop Allen preach<br />

The Word of God … right?<br />

Daniel: Paul met Jesus on the road to Damascus and that is were his walk with Jesus began … I<br />

have to give you some credit, Scaughdt. You want me to pronounce judgment, and yet I didn't<br />

fall off the turnip truck yesterday …The judgment seat of God is different than people choosing<br />

which church they want to attend. It is even different than the judgment that starts in a<br />

Christian‘s own home … Jesus tells us to not judge by appearances but rather to judge<br />

righteously. That is why I explained the meaning of the Hebrew word Shophat. There are many<br />

unclean spirits that seek to break the order that God has determined to be right. I do not believe<br />

that God grants or gives same-sex couples permission to marry, and I am not going to a church<br />

that gives Satan legal authority to move in a person‘s life. All it takes is a crack and a burglar<br />

will find his way in … I AM THE CHILD OF THE ONE TRUE KING.<br />

Scaughdt: Actually, to be biblically accurate, Paul met a voice claiming to be Jesus on the<br />

Road to Damascus, my Friend, and – to remain Biblically accurate – that is actually where Paul's<br />

walk away from the teachings of Christ began! I have given you literally hundreds of verses of<br />

Scripture showing this to be the case, Dan, and I have done so on multiple occasions (most<br />

recently back on page 690, though a more thorough listing of references can be found as recently as<br />

pages 582-584). Did you not read them? … Shall I offer them once again?<br />
