Daniel: If I wanted to learn how to be the best body & fender man, I would go to the best auto mechanic I had available to me … If I wanted to be the best student of civil rights, I would seek the best mind who was a man of God — I would […]

You start your comment by stating, “I am not against Oliver Clyde Allen”, and yet if that is truly the case then who are you against, my Friend? If that is indeed the case – if you truly are not against Oliver Clyde Allen – then why won’t you humble yourself enough to show him […]

“Our battle is not with the flesh but rather with the powers of darkness and their principalities.” I would agree that this is a Noble Goal, of course, and yet I’m not so sure you are going about said mission in an effective manner. You see, the Darkness of which you speak is almost […]

“I am not buying that [there] are not things that are an abomination to God” And I, my dear Friend, am also not claiming that there aren’t. I am merely stating the following very important Truths – Truths that you & yours would do very well to remember the next time you are tempted to […]

“The Bible verse that says ‘I’ll remember your sins no more’ is not an excuse to take God for granted. It is to assure that the sinner who has repented knows that the ‘accuser of the brethren’ has no power over them.” Well, my Friend, in one word (and in many senses) – NO! […]

“Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. would be absolutely mortified with today’s gay/straight alliance groups”, and it saddens me greatly that it is indeed possible that you are correct on this point (though the evidence I have researched goes both ways on this issue – pun intended) … For the purposes of our current discussion, […]

“The devil himself masquerades as an angel of light. Satan wants everyone to live for him” and thereafter ask, “How many people have been saved in your church, Scaughdt?” Well Dan, just like Jesus Christ, I don’t have a church (though I did spend a wonderful summer praying every day underneath the tree pictured […]

“The Bible says that God is a God of consuming fire – He either hallows things or he consumes them with fire. I didn’t make that up.” I am well aware that you didn’t make that up, my Friend, and – in case you are interested (and it seems as though you indeed are) […]

Primarily because the thousands of verses of Scripture that I have offered in this discussion (and the dozens of still-unanswered questions of import I have posed) have been mostly ignored – along with the fact that this conversation is now over 700 pages long and others may have joined in late or may only have […]

“Scaughdt, please try to understand what I am saying …” Oh I’m pretty sure I know exactly what you are saying, Dan, as I am actually relatively well-versed in conservative Christian dogma & conservative Christian beliefs. I also happen to agree with you that we all truly are to “love the sinner”. Where Jesus & […]

Your major misconception here (“There are those like yourself that have judged others for judging”) has to do once again with the difference between the “judgments” we make against who others are (i.e. the judgments prohibited by Jesus in Matthew 7:1-5 – like what you & yours are doing to homosexuals in this thread) and […]
