“We all need the light of truth shined into our darkness. Jesus said, ‘I have come as Light into the world, so that everyone who believes in Me will not remain in darkness.’ (John 12:46)” This is quite so, my Friend; Jesus did say this in the Gospels … and please note, my dear […]
“This [the judgment of homosexuals as sinners, I assume] is what we stand for, Scaughdt, and this will not change. We will not be conformed to society’s way of thinking. You are fighting a losing battle in that regard.” Fair enough, my Friend, though I will say that as a Follower of The Way […]
“We stand for the Truth of God’s Word and we will not waver towards your interpretation of the Word of God!” What is there to interpret, Lucy? What is it about the following verses (for starters) that makes it so difficult for you to understanding their quite straightforward & very clear teachings? And why […]
“The Bible is very clear on sin, and how we can be free from it.” Well, actually, the Bible is indeed “clear” on sin – in a number of very different ways, and it is relatively clear on how to be free from sin in a number of very different ways as well. Fortunately, […]
“You can make all the allowances for sin you want and lead homosexuals to Hell if you want” … Goodness gracious, Lucy! I wonder how many times I will have to explain this to you before you finally choose to “get it”. Please pay attention this time! *A) I am not making allowances or […]
“We Christians will always try and lead [others] to Christ.” Well, my Friend, I’m afraid I’m going to have to respectfully raise the “Not So Fast” flag on this one, because what you & yours are actually doing is leading people away from Christ – and either back towards the Love-killing laws of the […]
“But we aren’t judging gays; we are only judging their sin.” This statement has been made many times in various forms over the course of this thread, and yet the essence of its claim still has yet to be appropriately addressed – namely, the following four very important Truths: Truth: That choosing to […]
“But the Bible says so (i.e. that gays are condemned).” A frequent defense of conservative Christians, this point is fundamentally flawed as well. Alone the fact that I have provided literally thousands of verses of Scripture that “prove” that homosexuals need not be condemned in order for Christians to be devout is enough to […]
“But gays choose to be gay.” Setting aside for the time being the ever-growing body of scientific studies showing that homosexuality is actually a “God-created” (or at the very least a “God-allowed”) state of being that gays acquire from a very early, pre-sexual age (see pages 78-80 &/or pages 110-115 previously), we must continue […]
“But we are merely warning gays of their imminent damnation.” Hmmmm … Is this really as close as evangelicals can get to the perfect LOVE of their heavenly Father? (see Matthew 5:48 + 1 John 4:18 + John 5:22) … Indeed, I would love for a fundamentalist to explain how it is possible for […]
“I may err, Scaughdt, but Jesus never did and never will. He said what he said, but you and I have to understand the context of what he was saying — who he was talking to, the divine timetable, and his purpose.” Dan, I think this comment is spot-on correct, even though I admittedly […]
