Burnishing Bigotry - 3rd edition

Secondly, as I have pointed out to you quite clearly over & over & over & over again in
this thread, there is a drastic difference between the ―judgment‖ of who people ARE (&/or the
sins they are committing that have no immediate victims – a ―judgment‖ that Jesus clearly denounces in
Matthew 7:1-2), and the ―righteous judgment‖ of sins that others are DOING (specifically those
sins that are causing immediate harm to others – a ―righteous judgment‖ that Jesus clearly supports in
John 7:24) … Just like your homophobic slander of gays in this thread, it was wrong of the Nazis
to condemn Jews merely for being born into (& even choosing to remain in) the Jewish culture (an
obvious Matthew 7:1-2 violation). Conversely, just like my efforts to stand between you and your
intended homosexual victims (and defend them from your condemnatory attacks & false accusations),
it was very Right of those who opposed Hitler & his clan to publicly do so (an obvious upholding
of Jesus‘ call for ―righteous judgment‖ in John 7:24) … How can you not understand
this very simple, yet extremely important distinction, my Friend? I am frankly
starting to become a tad astounded that you still cannot comprehend it – much less
See how the latter is as noble as the former is immoral …
Thirdly & finally, Jesus‘ own ―Fruit of the Tree‖ test wins the day for gays (as if there was
ever any doubt) … For it simply must be clear to anyone with even a shred of humility and even
an ounce of decency that publicly denigrating homosexuals – by openly supporting Bible
passages that appear to condemn them to be ―mortal sinners‖ (destined for eternal torment, no less)
– always brings the horrible fruit of terror, &/or sadness, &/or anger, &/or hatred, &/or
discrimination, &/or abuse, &/or self-loathing, &/or even suicide …
On the other hand, walking The Way of Christ by extending humble acts of Kindness to
homosexuals (even if one believes that they are ―living in sin‖) always bears the Good Fruit of Love
& Joy & Peace & Harmony & Justice & Compassion & Self-Respect … It really is a no-brainer
which way (i.e. The Way) one should be choosing during such encounters!
―If you keep my commandments,
you will abide in my Love, just as I have
kept my Father‘s commandments and
abide in his Love … And this is my
commandment: that you Love one
another just as I have Loved you.‖
~ Jesus Christ (John 15:10-12)
