“Let’s hope that if there’s some new cultural agenda promoting thievery — one that says it’s now our right to take whatever we want from others by whatever means — that Christians will speak out against it as well.” Frankly, I wasn’t sure what to say to this one at first , because if […]

“The door is wide open for homosexuals and lesbians to accept God’s invitation.” Well, you know for whom else the door is wide open, Lucy? “Sinners” like yourself – “sinners” who continue to judge others without cleansing their own faults (see Matthew 23:25-26) – “sinners” who lord their personal interpretations of the Bible over […]

“When man is left to his own devices, he travels paths that are dangerous and deadly. For this cause, the prophet wrote: ‘O Lord, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps.’ (Jeremiah 10:23) … God, on the other hand, knows […]

“Man has a tendency to forget that God’s instructions are right. He doubts whether God’s precepts are really good for him. He convinces himself that God’s commandments are too restrictive. He assumes that he knows what is best.” And what would Jesus say to this, Lucy? Well, I can tell you what he did […]

“You take two verses of the Bible to try and live by and ignore all the other teachings of Jesus — his death, and his resurrection, as well as what has to take place for the sinner.” Actually, my Friend, this statement is absolutely incorrect! I have not given you merely two verses that […]

“There is a place for the unsaved, and you can’t stand that this is what Jesus tells us – because you can’t change it – because you want to play God – because you think it should be another way.” It is wise to be kind instead of hateful, Lucy … And it is […]

You then go on again about Jesus & Hell, saying “Jesus taught of Hell … The existence of Hell wasn’t something he questioned, debated, or defended, and he certainly didn’t apologize for it. He assumed the reality of Hell just as much as he did the resurrection … Jesus viewed Hell as a real place, […]

Next we see you state that Hell has “no escape routes, and no one is powerful enough to rescue anyone out of His hand … Hell offers no means of escape, rescue, or relief — [There is] no way out, ever. The occupants of Hell are sealed in their damnation.” Though I have already covered […]

You then go on to quote Luke 16:24-26 in an attempt to “prove” that there is no way out of Hell once a Soul arrives there, and yet in doing so you completely miss the most important point of all – namely, that any God who constructs such an eternal prison of torment, to house […]

“Don’t be ignorant of Satan’s devices.” Of course, it is most fitting to inform you that my ignorance of Satan’s devices is not your problem Lucy – that your problem is your ignorance of the high probability of God’s great Grace, along with your ignorance of the ultimate grandeur of The Way of Jesus Christ!

You then try to hide your bigotry behind your Bible (& your God) by saying, “all I have done is quote what the Word of God says … Are you calling God a bigot? They are His words, not mine.” Well, my Friend, as I have pointed out to you many times already, the […]
