Lucy: Scaughdt, you attempt to distort our words … It is plain to see that you DON’T have the Peace and Joy that you preach! You love to call people hypocrites and bigots just because we don’t agree with your false interpretation of the Bible, so you resort to being arrogant yourself! Dan, you […]

“We have not condemned these homosexuals, Scaughdt. HOW MANY TIME DO WE HAVE TO SAY THAT!?!?!” Easy there, Lucy … You can tell me that you are not condemning homosexuals until you are blue in the face, and yet the fact still remains that you are in effect doing so. You see, as I […]

“We are talking about what the Word of God says about whether someone can practice homosexuality and still love Christ.” Of course they can, my Friend, and literally thousands of devout, homosexual Christians are living proof of this fact! For some reason, you actually believe that “practicing homosexuality” automatically means having sexual intercourse. It […]

You then go on to quote from John 14:15-24 (a passage which reads, “If ye love me, keep my commandments. If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. He that loveth me not keepeth not […]

“Christ said that you are either for him or against him” … Yes, Jesus does say both that those who are not with him are against him (see Matthew 12:30 & Luke 11:23) and that whoever is not against him is for him (see Luke 9:50), both of which raise the interesting question: Why are […]

“God will give anyone the strength they need to overcome their homosexual desires, or anyone involved in sexual immorality.” Lucy – again, I hate to break this to you (actually, I love breaking this to you), and let me make this Truth as clear as I can: HOMOSEXUALITY – IS – NOT – A […]

“Sin in our lives is similar to a ring in a bull’s nose. Just as the ring empowers the owner to lead the bull around at his own will, so Satan is able to lead us wherever he pleases when we allow sin to stay in our lives.” Yep, this sounds just about right. […]

Next you allude to Luke 4:18 and state that, “[Jesus] says that his purpose is to proclaim liberty to the captives and freedom to the prisoners. Through the power of his death on the cross, he offers us the opportunity to die to ourselves in openness and brokenness in order to be made free.” […]

You then go on to cite James 1:14, a verse which reads, “Every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.” … And to this reference I will simply state – YES, my dear Friend! Just as every man is indeed tempted by his own lusts, you & yours […]

Comments Off on Page 788 … Drawn to bondage; returning to Freedom
“God empowers us to walk in freedom from the bondage of sin” and you quote from Romans 6:4, which reads – “Just as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.” YES, my Friend! I agree wholeheartedly with this […]

“I would have to say that you are working for Satan in upholding what God does not!” Heavens to Betsy, Lucy! Here we go again with your “Scaughdt is in league with Satan” silliness … (sigh) … Fair enough, my Friend. I have destroyed this bit of slander from you many times in this […]
