Lucy #458: You then say that, ―God will give anyone the strength they need to<br />

overcome their homosexual desires, or anyone involved in sexual immorality.‖<br />

Lucy – again, I hate to break this to you (actually, I love breaking this to you), and let me<br />

make this Truth as clear as I can: HOMOSEXUALITY – IS – NOT – A – CHOICE!<br />

Yes, I realize you wish it were a choice, because then you would find it easier to feel all<br />

high & mighty while you hypocritically condemn gays for their ―voluntary lifestyle‖, and yet all<br />

you are doing when you make such claims is publicly outing your ignorance; something it would<br />

be best to avoid doing any more. And to think all these bigoted claims – claims that are not your<br />

innate knowledge of the all-Loving will of the Father, but are actually indoctrinations shoved<br />

into your head by the less than knowledgeable preachers of your youth – are not even backed by<br />

Scripture! I mean, if you could give us even one verse that said that<br />

―homosexuality itself is an abomination‖ or that ―homosexual unions are a<br />

disgrace to the Lord‖, then this conversation would be quite different …<br />

And yet you won‘t … And do you know why you won‘t? Because you<br />

can‘t – and do you know why you can‘t? Because THERE AREN‟T ANY!<br />

Lucy #459: Next you cite Hebrews 10:26-27, a passage which reads, ―If we sin<br />

willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for<br />

sins, but a certain fearful looking for of judgment and a fiery indignation, which shall devour the<br />

adversaries.‖<br />

Once again, you out yourself here my dear Friend (pun intended ), for as it turns out,<br />

it is you & yours who are doing the willful sinning here, not homosexuals (and certainly not Oliver<br />

Clyde Allen and his husband) … Again, please hear the Word of God from the mouth of your own<br />

Lord & Savior … Hear his words, and heed them well!<br />

―Do not judge others, so that you may not be judged … Why do you see the speck in<br />

your neighbor‘s eye, but do not notice the log in your own? … You hypocrite! First take the log<br />

out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly enough to remove the speck from your<br />

neighbor‘s … You hypocrites! For you clean the outside of the cup [of others], but inside are full<br />

of greed and self-indulgence … First clean the inside of your own cup, so that the outside might<br />

also become truly clean … Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children,<br />

you will never enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Whoever becomes humble like this young child is<br />

the greatest in the Kingdom … Let [she] who is without sin cast the first stone.‖<br />

~ Jesus Christ (Matthew 7:1-2 + Matthew 23:25-26 + Matthew18:3-4 + John8:7)<br />
