Lucy #461: You then go on to cite 1 John 3:4-6, which reads, ―Everyone who makes a<br />

practice of sinning also practices lawlessness; sin is lawlessness. You know that he appeared in<br />

order to take away sins, and in him there is no sin. No one who abides in him keeps on sinning;<br />

no one who keeps on sinning has either seen him or known him.‖<br />

And to this Scripture reference I say – Right On, my Friend! For this passage reflects<br />

exactly what I have been talking about in this entire conversation. Indeed, this is exactly my<br />

point – namely, that you & yours are so wrapped up in your own arrogant belief that you have<br />

sole access to the only acceptable way to interpret the Scriptures (a Sin of Sins according to Jesus –<br />

see Mathew 18:3-4 & John 5:39-40) that you cannot see the far more beautiful Truth about the Bible<br />

– & the far more amazing Truth about Christ – and even the far more profound Truth about<br />

homosexuals (who are just as much Children of the Father as you & yours ever will be) … And you are<br />

actively denying these Truths even though I have gently unwrapped them right in front of you!!!!<br />

―You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; and that<br />

it is they that testify on my behalf, and yet you refuse to come to me to have life …If you love<br />

me, you will keep my commandments … This is my commandment, that you Love one<br />

another as I have Loved you.‖ ~ Jesus Christ (John 5:39-40 + John 14.15 + John 15:12)<br />

―But blessed are your eyes, for they finally See; and your ears, for they finally Hear.‖ ~<br />

Jesus Christ (Matthew 13:16)<br />

Lucy #462: Finally, you state, ―This is what the BIBLE says – these are NOT MY<br />

WORDS!!! SO DON‘T COME BACK AT ME AND RANT & RAVE ABOUT THE<br />

PLANK IN MY EYE AND SAY THAT I‘M JUDGING THEM!<br />

Goodness, Lucy! There‘s no need to shout … My dear Friend, if you don‘t want me to<br />

bring up your very clear & quite undeniable violations of The Way of Jesus Christ, I fully<br />

understand. As a supposed believer in Jesus, it must be extremely disconcerting to see very plain<br />

proof that you have been so drastically misguided in your youth about what being his true<br />

Follower actually means and how actually following him actually appears … That having been<br />

said, if you want me to stop ―ranting & raving‖ about you judging homosexuals, you‘re simply<br />

going to have to heed the words of Christ himself and STOP JUDGING THEM! … And if you<br />

want me to stop ―ranting & raving‖ about the plank that is so clearly stuck in your own eye, then<br />

I suggest you simply remove it yourself – instead of allowing that beam to inspire your own<br />

ranting & raving about the nonexistent ―sin‖ of homosexuality.<br />

As always, my Friend, sending you & yours the Peace of Christ …<br />
