“Biblical instructions give us authoritative guidance on the will of God concerning how we should live and think and interact with one another.” And here once again, I agree with you completely. Of course, as I have proven on a number of occasions earlier in this very thread, our challenge is to determine which […]
“If you are truly in Christ you will want to turn from your sin!” And to this I will simply say a heartfelt & enthusiastic AMEN! And after that exclamation of agreement, I also offer a humble yet heartfelt question: When are you & yours going to turn from your sins against homosexuals, Lucy? … […]
“God Condemns sin, Scaughdt! If homosexuals choose to live in it, then it is their fault, not God’s — plain and simple.” Hmmm … “Plain & simple” it actually isn’t, my Friend. Indeed, this statement would be true if your God were not all-powerful & all-just (as you claim Him to be); and it […]
“You make Jesus into a mere man; just a simple Peace Pilgrim like yourself.” Hmmmm … Again, not exactly … Aside from the fact that I am not even one thousandth the man that Jesus apparently was (and aside from the fact that I will not even begin to approach even a tenth of […]
“You say [Jesus] didn’t die for our sins. [If that is true, then] why did he come?” Well, even though I do have my own theories (that are just as valid as your own) as to why he came, far be it from me to answer for Jesus as to why he did so. […]
“Because if [Jesus] was just a teacher of the way of Love and Peace and Compassion, then anyone could obtain that without him.” BINGO, my Friend! That is exactly what Jesus himself was trying to teach us in the Gospels – that anyone & everyone, regardless of gender or race or religious belief or […]
“You want it your way; where there is no condemnation for sin; where people can do whatever they want.” And once again, I will gently yet firmly explain why this statement of yours is fully FALSE … Indeed, never once have I ever claimed that “people can do whatever they want” without consequence – […]
“Jesus speaks of Hell for the lost … Explain that one.” My dear Friend, I already have explained that one in this thread – and I have done so far more than merely a few times! And yet it is an important misconception of many people (Christians and non-Christians alike), so I will explain it […]
“It is in this way that the true ministers of Christ are to be identified — by their following the example he set for them (John 13:15).” And to this final statement I have nothing to say but a hearty AMEN! After all, that is exactly what I have been doing throughout the entirety […]
Vanessa: Lucy — sadly, while you point one finger outward, it is three you are pointing back at yourself. Because you are so busy investing in speaking “anti-Scaughdt”, it appears you are refusing to live “pro-Jesus” … Scaughdt isn’t trying to convince you to listen to him — he is trying to help you listen […]
“Differences should be tolerated, but sin should never be” While this is an accurate representation of the “Path of Paul” (see Romans 1:32, Romans 2:6, 1 Corinthians 16:22, 1 Corinthians 5:4-5, 1 Corinthians 10:20, 2 Corinthians 10:6, Galatians 2:11, Galatians 3:1, Galatians 5:12, Colossians 3:12-14, Philippians 3:18-19 & 1 Thessalonians 2:15-16), it is most certainly […]
