Burnishing Bigotry - 3rd edition

Lucy #507: Next you say that, ―We stand for the Truth of God‘s Word and we will not
waver towards your interpretation of the Word of God!‖
What is there to interpret, Lucy? What is it about the following verses (for starters) that
makes it so difficult for you to understanding their quite straightforward & very clear teachings?
And why are you & yours so Hell-bent (literally) on ignoring them (or twisting them to
fit your conservative prejudices) in your public dealings with homosexuals?
―If you truly Love me, then you will keep my Commandments … I give you a
new commandment: that you Love one another. Just as I have Loved you, so also should you
Love one another. By this will everyone know that you are my disciples: when you show Love
for one another.‖ ~ Jesus Christ (John 14:15 + John 13:34-35)
―Do not judge, so that you may not be judged. For with the judgment you make you will
be judged, and the measure you give will be the measure you get. Why do you see the speck in
your neighbor‘s eye, but do not notice the log in your own? Or how can you say to your
neighbor, ‗Let me take the speck out of your eye,‘ while the log is in your own? You hypocrite!
First take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your
neighbor‘s‖ ~ Jesus Christ (Matthew 7:1-5)
―Be perfect [in LOVE] therefore, just as [the LOVE] of your Father in Heaven is perfect
… There is no fear in Love, but perfect Love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment,
and whoever fears has not reached perfection in Love.‖ ~ Matthew 5:48 + 1 John 4:18
― Everyone who does not abide in the teaching of Christ, but goes beyond it, does not
have God; and yet whomever abides in the teaching has both the Father and the Son …
Whomever claims to abide in him must live just as he lived.‖ ~ 2 John 1:9 + 1 John 2:6
