Page 376 … a Holy Rebellion

“The Bible is the very book that condemns them [I assume you mean homosexuals here?  Where does it do that?] for their rebellion against God’s commandments.”   Well, even though this might indeed seem to be true at times, Lucy, the Bible is also the very book that predicts Jesus coming to replace the primitive […]

Page 377 … mocking God

“That is why you will always hear those who have chosen to live in rebellion to God endlessly mocking and trying to castigate the Bible, and calling it fiction, or fairy tales – [claiming that it is]  made up by men.” Lucy, I really must ask:  Who in the world are you talking about here, […]

Page 381 … this is the Truth

“The truth is the truth, whether or not you accept it, believe it or live by it.   It remains truth no matter what is said about it or thought about it.   Truth is absolute and eternal, just like God is, for He and His Word are one and Jesus is the Word made flesh, so […]

Page 382 … the absolute Truth

“The bottom line is that either you believe the Bible represents absolute Truth or you don’t, and if you don’t, that means it is now up to you and each person to determine what Truth is for yourself — thereby making yourself God.”   Hmmmmm … OK Lucy, if this is so, then how do […]

Page 384 … demonizing the Faith

“You, and people like you who distort Christ, are experts at trying to demonize people of Faith by trying to bully them into being silent so that you can share your false message unopposed.”   Ahhh, my dear Lucy, there is no bullying going on here whatsoever!   I am merely humbly trying to get you […]

Page 385 … for both Young & Old

“Sadly, for the most part [this tactic] has worked, so most of our young people today have only heard messages like yours — full of lies and deceits.” … Ahhhh, if only that were indeed true, my Friend!   If only it were indeed true that most of the world’s youth had indeed heard a message […]

Page 387 … standing firm with God

“I stand firm in the Word of God, and there is nothing you can say to change that.”   First of all, Lucy, it has never been (nor will it ever be) my intention to bring you anywhere other than closer to the Word of God … Secondly, the first half of your statement is […]

Pages 396-397 … How we Abide

Bart:   Scaughdt, are you within the boundaries that Jesus set forth?   Do you truly live by the guidelines of his pure love?   Scaughdt:   Bart – Yes … I … DO!   Of course, just like everyone else reading along, I am walking around in a fleshly “machine” and therefore regularly slip into “sin” (just like […]

Pages 399-400 … the Love of the eunuch

Diana:   “In Matthew 19:12, Jesus mentions eunuchs in the context of whether it is good to marry.  He says, “There are eunuchs who were born that way, and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by others — and there are those who choose to live like eunuchs for the sake of the Kingdom […]

Pages 407-408 … purely Paul

“We believe Paul’s [words] just as much as [those from] any other book.” … Yes, it is obviously clear that this is indeed true – and hopefully it is becoming obviously clear that this is precisely the problem!   My dear Friend, Paul’s Gospel is in conflict with the Gospel of Christ, and Paul’s teachings directly […]

Pages 409-410 … What Jesus didn’t say

“Jesus is never quoted in the New Testament as having directly addressed rape, incest, domestic violence or homosexual behavior. So are we supposed to believe all these practices are okay with him?”   Lucy, do you actually need me to answer this question?  Seriously?!? … Of course you don’t!   And yet I will anyway … […]
