Next you quote Matthew 25:41, which states, “Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, ‘Depart from me ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels.’” … There are actually a few interesting facets of this verse: Firstly, that “fire” was actually a positive reference for Jesus; the […]
Next you quote Luke 13:27-28, which states, “depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity … Ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the Kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out.” … You know Lucy, this passage might seem like God was having a verrrrry bad day as […]
You then quote John 5:29, though I’m not sure why, as it pretty clearly supports my interpretative model in this discussion … Consider: “And those will come out—those who have done good to the resurrection of life; and those who have done evil to the resurrection of condemnation … Very truly, I tell you, whoever […]
Thereafter you mention John 16:6, a verse which states, “If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.” … You know Lucy, I have actually found this verse to be True as well, […]
You then reference a series of passages from the book of Revelation, the first two of which (Revelation 2:11 & Revelation 2:21-23) call into question the legitimacy of the book as a whole … Indeed, before we analyze anything in more detail, the inherent Christian conundrum related to Revelation must be addressed – and that […]
“Those who know God’s LOVE will naturally want to obey Him.” Hmmmmm — aside from the fact that any God who is truly Loving demands nothing of His children in return for His unconditional Love, I will admit that the tendency is strong to be kind to those who Love us like Jesus’ heavenly Father […]
“You don’t understand the true love of God, and the price he paid for everyone.” Lucy, my dear, it simply must be clear by now that you are not dealing with an “unknowing” Buddhist or a “heretic” Muslim or an “ignorant” atheist or a “misguided” New Ager – that you are not dealing with someone […]
You next mention John 3:16, and yet you continue to forget that “belief” in this verse means the same for Jesus as it does in every other verse where he uses it – you forget that for Jesus “belief” wasn’t a mental thought or an internal feeling; that for Jesus “belief” was a VERB (see […]
You then claim that you have “no problem with gays”, and yet I’m afraid this statement just doesn’t fly, Lucy, if for no other reason than you have consciously and willingly chosen to worship a version of God who is going to allow the vast majority of homosexuals to burn forever in Hell. And you […]
“We all make mistakes, but we try to live a life that is pleasing to God, and I think He deserves our obedience.” And thereby, my dear Lucy, you both expose & exemplify the passive-aggressive mentality that has allowed all of history’s most horrid despots and all its most cruel dictators to perpetrate the evils […]
Next you attempt to excuse your prejudice against homosexuals (and “other sinners” – “other sinners” who you have oddly failed to call out on your page at all) by saying that “if our society celebrates it, we can’t both be caring and not say anything.” Well Lucy, to this I will simply reply that, […]
