Page 524 … refusing the Gift; choosing the Flames

You then make a quite common (and a quite disturbing) claim when you say, “[God] made a way for everyone to be in his Kingdom, but [many] refuse that gift.”   My Friend, if God truly is as perfect in His Love as Jesus himself says He is (see Matthew 5:48 + 1 John 4:18), […]

Page 526 … Calling out the Bigotry

“You have called me a bigot and a hypocrite and [thereby] falsely accused me of being something that I am not” Well, to be fair, I did call you “a bigot” one time in the past, and I admit openly now that this was indeed an error – one for which I have already apologized, […]

Pages 528-531 … Holding up HIS Word(s)

Lucy:   Be real Vanessa!  You and Scaughdt try and uphold what the Word of God does not!  If they are married, then that goes against what God has said to be marriage … Yes, there are all kinds of sinners in church, but it is the preacher’s job to point out that you cannot live […]

Page 533 … Condoning what God does not

“I think it is your lack of understanding of the Word of God that has you condoning everything that God does not!”   Hmmm … I am actually quite intrigued by this comment, Lucy, as I’m not sure what it is that I am condoning that God does not.   Compassion, perhaps?  I am condoning that, […]

Pages 534-539 … Full-filling the Law

“The one who espouses [such a] false teaching usually begins by saying that he discounts both the Old Testament and the writings of Paul and adheres only to the four Gospels.”   Well, some folks might indeed do this, Lucy, and yet I am certainly not one of them.  To the contrary, just like Jesus […]

Page 542 … Beware of False Prophets

Next, you cite John 5:46-47 to claim that, “Jesus tells his detractors that unless one holds to the writings of Moses, one cannot fully know or understand either truth or Jesus himself … Of course, in the first five books of the Bible we read of the days of Noah (Genesis) and homosexuality as perversion […]

Page 543 … The sins of Sodom

“Jesus also spoke of the destruction of the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah (Luke 17:28-32; Matthew 10:15; Matthew 11:24; Mark 6:11) … [with the] sin that brought about the destruction of those cultures being homosexuality.”   Once again Lucy, as I have already pointed out to you on sooooooo many occasions herein, this statement is […]

Page 544 … Considering Jude

“Consider these words found in the book of Jude: ‘Even as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire. Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and […]

Page 545 … 3 out of 4 Gospels

“Three of the four gospels contain quotes from Jesus about the sinful condition of Sodom and Gomorrah and the destruction that the celebration of the presenting sin of homosexuality wrought upon them.”   (sigh) … Lucy, as I have mentioned to you & yours before so many times, this particular claim – like so many […]

Page 546 … Recognizing sin

“Why can’t you accept that homosexual sex is sin in the eyes of God?”   Well my dear, actually, I do accept the fact that Leviticus calls out homosexual sex and labels it a sin – along with about 75 other sins.  And this is where you & yours continue to be confused, for this […]

Page 547 … Leading sinners to Christ

“A Christian will try and lead the sinner to Christ, and that my friend is more then I can say for you.  To accept their sin and not try to lead them to salvation (and thereby let them die in their sin) is not following Jesus!”   My dear, inattentive Friend – why do you […]
